Download DevThrottle

Download DevThrottle for Windows.

Create your free account and the download is on the next screen — the installer, a prompt for your coding agent, or two terminal commands, whichever suits you.

  • The app. Open source, MIT licensed, on your own machine. Yours for good.
  • 14 days of Pro. We run the AI: dictation that gets your project names right, agents that report back out loud, a wingman that says what happened before it asks you to decide.
  • The path. A step-by-step route from a bare machine to a running agent, and our setup videos. Not a repo and a README.

On day 15 nothing you installed stops. Only the parts we host switch off, and nothing is charged.

Three ways to install it, on the next screen

Same installer, same result. Pick whichever suits how you work.

Most people

Download and run it

A normal Windows installer. Double-click it like any other app — no command line, no admin rights. Windows 10 and 11.

Already running an agent

Let your agent install it

Hand a one-paragraph prompt to Claude Code, Codex, or whatever you have open. It fetches the installer, checks the signature, and runs it. Nothing opens on screen. Windows and macOS.

Terminal, scripts, new machines

Install from the command line

Two commands, no window, the same on a fresh machine or inside a setup script. This is the path on a Mac.

“I could do this with tmux and a script.”

You could run them. tmux does not buzz your phone when an agent has been sitting on a question for forty minutes. At two sessions you notice; at six you do not.

“How long is this going to take me?”

About five minutes. One installer, no administrator prompt, nothing written outside your own profile. It finds the coding agents you already have.

“Will my machine and my employer allow it?”

It runs on your own Windows machine. The source is MIT licensed and public. Your agents, and the subscriptions you already pay for, stay yours.

From here to a running agent

  1. 1

    Create your account

    One click with Google or GitHub, or an email and password. The download is on the very next screen.

  2. 2

    Download and install

    Double-click the installer like any Windows app. It never asks for an account; when DevThrottle opens, its own setup signs you in with the account you just made — one click in your browser.

  3. 3

    Start your agents

    The same setup finds your coding agents and your folders. Open a project and your first agent is running, on your own machine.

Running it yourself? Self-hosted means self-configured.

The app is open source, and running everything yourself costs nothing — but it is a do-it-yourself path. You stand up your own gateway, keep that machine on, set up remote access, and maintain it, following the guides in the GitHub repository. That work is the difference between the do-it-yourself path and Pro, where we run the gateway for you and it just works. Read the honest version on the open source page before you choose.
