Aria, on your Mac

The same Aria you use in the browser — but now it can reach the files on your computer. Ask for a brochure and it finds it. Ask it to build a shortlist and it saves it where you work.

Where the desktop app is today. The one-click Mac installer (.dmg) is coming. Today's install uses a Terminal script and needs Node.js 20 or later — so most brokers should use Aria in the browser for now. Everything except reaching files on your Mac works there, and it's the same account.

Open Aria in your browser

Works on any Mac, PC or phone · nothing to install · sign in with your usual account

Coming soon Download for Mac (.dmg)

macOS 11 or later · Apple Silicon & Intel · free with your Aria plan · install with the Terminal script today

Install

When the .dmg ships: open it and drag Aria into Applications. Today: run the one-line Terminal script below (needs Node.js 20+).

Sign in

Open Aria and sign in with the account you already use. Your Mac links itself — there's no code to type.

Ask it for something

"What's in my Downloads?" · "Send me the Palm brochure." It works with your files while Aria's open.

What it can do that the browser can't

Aria in a browser can run your CRM, read your WhatsApp and write your briefings. Aria on your Mac can do all of that and open, read, organise and create files on your computer — find the right brochure across your folders, put a shortlist together, tidy a mess of downloads into a client folder.

Your Mac only ever dials out. Aria holds an outbound connection from your computer to us; nothing can reach in. You can unlink the device from Aria at any time, and closing the app ends its access immediately.

Questions

Does it work when my laptop is closed?

Your CRM, WhatsApp sync and 7am briefing all run in the cloud, so those never stop. Reaching files on the Mac itself needs the Mac awake with Aria open — a closed laptop can't be asked for a file. Anything you keep in an Aria synced folder stays available around the clock.

Do I still need the web version?

They're the same Aria and the same account — use whichever is in front of you; everything stays in sync. Right now the browser is the version we recommend for most brokers: it needs nothing installed and does everything except reach files on your Mac.

Is there a Windows version?

Not yet. Mac first, Windows next. Email us and we'll tell you the moment it's ready.

Install with the Terminal script (available today)

For the technically inclined. You need Node.js 20 or later installed (from nodejs.org). Open Terminal, paste this line and press Return — it downloads Aria's desktop bridge, installs its dependencies and starts it:

curl -fsSL https://aria-drea.fly.dev/desktop/install.sh | bash

Then sign in when the window opens. If anything goes wrong, close Terminal and just use Aria in the browser — nothing is left half-installed.

When the .dmg ships: "Aria can't be opened" on first launch

macOS Gatekeeper may block a freshly downloaded app the first time. That's normal. To open it:

Open Applications in Finder and find Aria.
Right-click (or Control-click) Aria and choose Open.
In the dialog, click Open again. You only need to do this once.
Still blocked? Go to System Settings → Privacy & Security, scroll to the Security section and click Open Anyway next to Aria.
