Installation

Download

Download the latest version of Odin from download.heyodinai.com.

macOS

Requirements: macOS 12 or later, Apple Silicon or Intel.

1. Download the .dmg file for your architecture:
   • Odin-AI-arm64.dmg — Apple Silicon (M1, M2, M3, M4)
   • Odin-AI-x64.dmg — Intel
2. Open the .dmg and drag Odin AI into your Applications folder.
3. Launch Odin AI from Applications.

Tip

If macOS shows “Odin AI cannot be opened because the developer cannot be verified”, right-click the app and choose Open instead of double-clicking. This only needs to happen once.

Windows

Requirements: Windows 10 or later (64-bit).

1. Download Odin-AI-Setup.exe.
2. Run the installer. Windows SmartScreen may show a warning — click More info → Run anyway to proceed.
3. Follow the installer steps. Odin AI can be installed per-user (no admin required).
4. Launch Odin AI from the Start menu or desktop shortcut.

Note

The SmartScreen warning appears because Odin’s Windows installer is not yet signed with a trusted certificate. A code-signing certificate is in progress and will be available within the next week, after which the warning will no longer appear. The installer is safe to run.

First launch

When you first open Odin, it walks you through a short onboarding flow to grant the permissions it needs:

1. Microphone — required for push-to-talk voice input.
2. Screen Recording — required on macOS for screen capture and AI analysis.

You must grant both permissions before Odin can function fully. See Permissions Setup for details.

After permissions are granted, Odin’s icon appears in your menu bar (macOS) or system tray (Windows). Click it to open the companion panel.

Updating

Odin updates itself automatically in the background. When a new version is available, it downloads silently and applies on the next launch. You can check your current version in the panel settings.
