Radial app

Getting started

Radial is a visual editor for marketing-site codebases. Open a real repo (Next.js, Astro, or plain HTML), see it running live, and click text, links, or images to edit them. Changes are written back to the actual source code, and the site stays as plain code in your own GitHub repo. No platform lock-in.

Requirements

• macOS on Apple Silicon.
• Node 18 or newer, installed any way you like (Homebrew, nvm, Volta, or nodejs.org). Radial resolves your login shell's PATH, so it finds Node even when launched from Finder, and shows a clear message if it's missing.
• git with your usual auth, if you'll open private repos; Radial uses your machine's existing git credentials.
• A Claude Code login for the built-in agent. Radial reuses an existing claude login (an ANTHROPIC_API_KEY environment variable also works). If neither is found, the agent panel shows a one-step Connect the agent card.

Install

Radial is in early access. Request access and you'll receive a download link for the macOS app (a DMG) by email. Open the DMG and drag Radial to Applications, like any Mac app.

Open your first project

The launcher offers three ways in:

• Open from GitHub: paste a repo URL. Radial clones it into ~/Radial/<owner>__<repo>, or fast-forwards an existing clone to the latest default branch.
• Open local folder: for a repo you already have checked out.
• Projects folder: point Radial at a folder like ~/Projects and it lists every subfolder that looks like a website (has a package.json or index.html).

On first open Radial runs npm install automatically, starts the project's dev server, and shows the live site in the preview. From there, press ⌘E and click anything to start editing.

Next steps

• Editing: text, links, images, page settings, and undo.
• Agents & terminal: run Claude Code or Codex on the project.
• Publishing: staging and production, straight from the app.
