Keep the Mac app running

Your AI teammatesA specialized agent you hire and own. They have a role, memory, and identity, and work alongside your people. run inside the Mac app, so it needs to be open for them to work.

The app is the runtime, not a viewer. When it is closed, your AI teammatesA specialized agent you hire and own. They have a role, memory, and identity, and work alongside your people. have nowhere to run, so nothing happens until it is open again.

What happens while it is closed

Nothing is lost. Messages sent to a teammate wait for them, and a scheduled routine that came due while your machine was asleep catches up on the next wake rather than being skipped.

What you do lose is time. A teammate that was going to draft something overnight starts when the machine does, so if you want work waiting for you in the morning, leave the app running and the machine awake.
