First Launch
Onboarding checks your prerequisites with live detection: install or sign in to anything missing and the checklist updates on its own.
- GitHub CLI: install it if needed, then sign in. You can run
gh auth loginright inside the app. - Agents: Paradev detects Claude Code and Codex automatically. Everything else is configurable later under Settings → Agents.
- Add a project: point Paradev at a local folder or a Git URL.
Using Bedrock, Vertex, OpenRouter, or another provider? See Providers.
Paid organizations also get a Get the best out of Pro sidebar checklist for Remote Access, mobile, and automations. Reopen it from Help → Get the best out of Pro if you dismissed it.
iPhone and iPad
Download Paradev for iPhone and iPad to continue your agents away from your desk. You need iOS 26 or iPadOS 26 or later and Paradev Pro. Enable Remote Access to reach agents on your computer. You can also use cloud workspaces without keeping your own computer connected. For workspaces on your own computer, keep that host awake and online.
Follow mobile setup to connect your computer, then see Mobile App for what you can do in the app. Android is not available yet; join the Android waitlist.
Staying Updated
Paradev checks for updates automatically. New releases ship daily; the changelog rounds up each week's highlights.
