Radian documentation
Learn how Radian brings coding agents, projects, terminals, files, and review into one desktop workspace.
Radian is a desktop application for working with coding agents. It keeps conversations, project context, terminal sessions, files, diffs, and approvals together so you can run the agent you want without rebuilding your workflow around a single provider.
Radian is currently pre-launch. These docs describe the product direction and the working desktop surface. Installation details and some workflows will change as the private beta develops.

What Radian brings together
- Projects and threads keep related work navigable without collapsing everything into one conversation.
- Coding agents run through their own CLIs and accounts rather than a Radian-specific model contract.
- Workspace tools put files, terminals, diffs, and runtime output beside the conversation.
- Modes and autonomy make planning, debugging, approvals, and longer-running work explicit.
- Arc and Cloud are optional services for model access and managed execution.
The first release focuses on a calm desktop workflow. Organization-managed environments, scheduled agents, and more deployment targets are longer-term work and are identified as planned throughout these docs.
