Quickstart
Install Destaris and build your first workflow in a few minutes.
This walks you from a fresh install to a workflow that runs on a schedule.
1. Install
Download Destaris for macOS from the download page and open it. The app is free and runs entirely on your machine — there's nothing to configure in the cloud to get started.
Destaris is macOS only (macOS 12+), with builds for both Apple Silicon and Intel. The app is code-signed and notarized.
2. Sign in to an AI CLI (optional)
AI steps run as your own already-authenticated CLI — Claude Code is the default. If you have it installed and logged in, Destaris uses it directly; your keys never leave your machine. You can skip this entirely and build deterministic-only workflows first.
3. Build a workflow
Create a new workflow and add steps from the palette:
- A trigger — pick On a schedule and set how often it runs.
- A Get data step — an HTTP request to an API you care about.
- (Optional) an AI step — to summarize or decide something about that data.
- An output — post the result somewhere.
Wire the steps together by dragging between them. Each step has plain form fields; switch to Visual ↔ YAML any time to see the portable file underneath.
4. Run it
Click Run to execute it once, right now, and watch each step light up with its status and output. When it looks right, save it — it'll run on the schedule you set, on your machine.
