Free macOS alpha Powered by Codex

Plan, build, ship, and scale through one agentic workspace.

Mosaic gives AI-first developers a local, opinionated system for turning product intent into durable specifications, working designs, verified implementation, and guarded releases. Plan Studio is available today; the complete lifecycle is coming next.

The product goal

One app. One system of context. Fewer handoffs.

Agentic development is fragmented across chat windows, design tools, terminals, specifications, repositories, CI, providers, and deployment dashboards. Mosaic is the place those decisions become a continuous, reviewable system.

Mosaic Alpha · Plan Studio

Go from a rough idea to reviewed product context.

Plan with an agent, inspect every artifact it changes, experience the design as a working local prototype, and freeze approved revisions for reuse later.

Codex planning chat

Live work indicators, explicit approvals, interruption, retry, and Plan-scoped threads.

Durable documentation

Brief, Requirements, Architecture, UX, Test Scenarios, Delivery Plan, and custom documents.

Working HTML designs

Self-contained interactive screens with realistic sample data—not static image generations.

Review in context

Comment on document anchors or select individual design elements for precise feedback.

Guarded revisions

Candidate previews, diffs, validation, immutable approvals, and revision history.

Controls that fit the task

Choose from supported Codex models, effort levels, and service speeds before each turn.

A deliberately focused alpha.Project creation, repository implementation, deployment, and provider writes are not enabled yet.

A cost-conscious alternative

Make your agentic design budget go further.

Mosaic Alpha is free and powered by the Codex access you already use.

Mosaic preserves accepted artifacts locally, resumes Plan-scoped threads, and lets you choose lower-usage supported Codex models and effort levels when a frontier model is unnecessary.

“In our internal alpha use, Mosaic has consumed materially less of our available agent usage than comparable Claude Design prototype sessions.”

Why opinionated

Agents work better when the system has opinions.

Conventions reduce ambiguity. They keep every agent from inventing a different architecture, workflow, or release process—and turn ad-hoc code generation into a consistent engineering system.

01

Durable specifications

Keep product intent outside disposable chat context and preserve reviewed decisions.

02

Human-reviewed test logic

Agree on observable outcomes before an implementation agent starts changing code.

03

Known workspace boundaries

Give every agent a canonical monorepo, explicit ownership, and reusable patterns.

04

Provider contracts

Describe environments and integrations as repeatable contracts instead of one-off setup.

05

Evidence-backed delivery

Tie verification, generated artifacts, migrations, and releases back to the approved intent.

06

Portfolio consistency

Apply the same engineering system across every app without rebuilding the process each time.

IntentAgentsCodeEvidence

Consistency compounds

One development system across an entire product portfolio.

Mosaic’s long-term value is not another agent chat. It is a shared operating model that lets every product inherit the same durable context, boundaries, verification, and release discipline.

FAQ

Useful context before you begin.

Early software deserves plain answers. If something is missing, check the release notes before installing.

What works in the alpha?+

Plan Studio is the only enabled product workspace. You can create Plans, work with Codex, generate and review documents and interactive HTML designs, comment, validate candidates, and approve immutable revisions. Projects, implementation, deployment, and provider writes are not enabled.

Is Mosaic free?+

Mosaic 0.1.0-alpha.1 is free for personal and internal commercial evaluation under the Alpha Evaluation License. Mosaic may introduce paid offerings later, but this alpha has no Mosaic subscription fee.

Does Mosaic include Codex?+

No. Mosaic connects to a compatible Codex CLI running on your Mac. You need Codex access through an eligible ChatGPT plan; any Codex usage remains subject to that plan’s terms and limits.

Where is Plan data stored?+

Plan metadata and artifacts stay on your Mac in Mosaic’s Application Support directory. Mosaic uses local SQLite storage, sandboxed previews, and macOS Keychain references for credentials.

Why is the macOS build unsigned?+

This is an early independent alpha and has not yet completed Apple signing and notarization. The download flow discloses this clearly, publishes a SHA-256 checksum, and documents Apple’s standard Control-click Open path without asking you to disable Gatekeeper.

How does Mosaic differ from Claude Design?+

Mosaic is a local planning workspace built around durable artifact revisions, selectable Codex models, review gates, and an eventual spec-driven development lifecycle. Claude Design is Anthropic’s separate design experiment. Mosaic is not affiliated with Anthropic.

When are Projects and Windows coming?+

Both are active roadmap targets, but Mosaic is not publishing promised dates yet. The alpha intentionally keeps those areas locked until their full safety and review workflows are ready.

Before you download

This alpha is unsigned.

Mosaic 0.1.0-alpha.1 is not signed or notarized yet. macOS will ask you to confirm that you trust the app the first time you open it.
