FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What is chro?
chro is a local-first app that orchestrates AI agents from your ideas, notes, and research. Each agent runs in its own git worktree, keeping your main workspace safe while creating in parallel.
Do I need a Claude or ChatGPT subscription?
Yes, chro works with your Claude Code, Codex, or ChatGPT subscription. Sign in with your account and use your existing subscription. chro itself is free during beta.
How is chro different from Claude Code CLI?
chro provides a native desktop UI with built-in editor, git management, and the ability to run multiple agents in parallel worktrees. It's designed to feel like a calm, integrated workspace rather than a command-line interface.
How is chro different from Claude Desktop?
Claude Desktop is a general-purpose chat interface. chro is purpose-built for knowledge work and development, with features like parallel agents, worktree isolation, built-in editor, and git workflows designed for shipping code.
How is chro different from 1Code or Conductor?
chro is built around a knowledge-first workflow. Your notes, ideas, and research become the foundation that shapes how agents think and create. Rather than just running agents in parallel, we focus on the compounding loop between what you know and what AI builds—discoveries feed back into your knowledge base, making each iteration smarter.
Can I run multiple agents at once?
Yes! Each agent runs in its own isolated git worktree. You can launch multiple agents from a single task screen and let them work in parallel without conflicts.
What operating systems are supported?
chro is available for macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel) and Windows. We're focused on providing a native experience on each platform.
Is my data sent to external servers?
chro is local-first. Your knowledge, notes, and code stay on your machine. Only the prompts you send go through Anthropic's API using your own Claude Code / Codex subscription.
Is chro affiliated with Anthropic?
No, chro is an independent product. We use Claude Code under the hood via your Anthropic subscription, but we are not affiliated with or endorsed by Anthropic.
