Questions people ask before they download.
Open source. macOS, Windows and Linux.

Getting started
What is Murage?
An open-source desktop app. You talk to an AI Chief of Staff, which builds a team of specialist bots for each job and runs it. New bots check with you before they act.
Who makes Murage?
Murage is made by Ferrox Labs, LLC, a Florida company founded by Sean Donahoe. Murage is open source under AGPL-3.0, so you can read the code behind every claim here. There’s no SOC 2 or outside security audit yet; the security page lists what does exist.
What can’t it do yet?
It runs only while your computer is on with Murage open. Spend limits are set per project, in minutes and tokens. There are no shared workspaces in the desktop app. The Murage app is on the App Store for iPhone and on Google Play for Android. Murage Cloud (coming soon) runs your team with your computer off.
Do I need to be technical?
No. You talk to your Chief of Staff in plain words. Installing an engine like Claude Code is one press on its card in Settings, then one button to sign in. Developers can go further with custom engines and MCP servers.
How do I get help using Murage?
Ask any bot. Every bot can look up Murage’s own guides, which come with the app and match your version, before it answers a how-to question. For a bot that does only that, add Concierge, the Murage Guide, from New Bot. The full guides are at murage.ai/docs.
Which computers does it run on?
Mac (Apple silicon and Intel), Windows and Linux. A few features vary: the built-in browser is on by default on all three, and a bot can use your desktop on macOS or on Ubuntu with Xorg. The download page has the full list.
Do I need an account?
No account is needed to start. You need an AI engine: Fuigo (built in, with a model key or Flux Router), a sign-in you already have, like Claude Code, Codex or Hermes, a local model, or an API key.
Already pay for Claude or ChatGPT?
Connect it any time in Settings.
Can my staff use it?
Yes. Each person runs their own copy on their own computer. Build a team once, export it, and everyone imports the same bots, skills and routines; logins never travel. Bots can post drafts to your team’s Slack channels through connected apps, with your approval, and each app takes up to five labeled accounts. Shared workspaces for teams are coming soon to Murage Cloud.
Cost
What do I pay for?
The desktop app is open source under AGPL-3.0. Murage Cloud is an optional paid hosted service. You pay your AI provider for model usage, as you would anywhere.
What might I pay for?
Your AI provider’s usage. Flux Router is Ferrox Labs’ optional credit-billed service for AI models, connected apps, voice, images and web search. You pay only for what you use, and your own provider keys or connected-apps key work instead.
Can I cap what a bot spends?
Yes, per project. Give a project a limit in minutes and tokens. Murage stops starting new work at your limit and lets running turns finish. A task can also make at most 16 hand-offs per turn and 32 in total, which are coordination limits. If you use Flux Router, you can set a monthly spending limit on your Flux account. On your own Claude or ChatGPT plan, your plan’s allowance is the limit.
Managing your plan
The Murage desktop app for Mac, Windows and Linux needs no account, so there is nothing to sign in to or manage. When Murage Cloud (coming soon) opens, its billing will open right inside the app.
Will there be a paid version?
Murage Cloud (coming soon) runs your own Murage on a private server we look after, so your teams keep working with your laptop closed. Plans will start at $49 a month, plus tax where it applies.
Approvals and control
Will it send emails or spend money without asking?
Not unless you give it room. New bots start on Ask. On Full access, a bot stops before messaging anyone new, posting publicly, paying, or deleting outside its folder, unless you have allowed it for that task. On Hermes and other ACP engines, Ask and the stop line cover only what the engine asks Murage about. For Hermes, that is every tool except reads, searches and its own memory. Replies in an existing conversation go ahead on Auto and Full access. No limits turns the stop line off, and only you can switch it on.
Can I approve from my phone?
Yes. Pair your phone over Wi-Fi or Tailscale and approve in the Murage web app in its browser, or get approvals in Telegram with Approve once and Allow for this task buttons. On a voice call you can approve out loud. Your computer needs to be on with Murage open.
How do I stop a bot doing something I don’t want?
Deny the request, lower its permission level, or write it into House Rules, which every bot reads first.
How are skills checked before I install them?
Skill Guard scans every skill for risky instructions before a bot can use it. Risky ones need your OK and dangerous ones are blocked. The scan doesn’t test the advice itself, so read a skill before you enable it.
Are you SOC 2 audited?
No. There’s no SOC 2, HIPAA or outside security audit yet. What exists: the full source under AGPL-3.0, signed installers with published checksums, and a one-page overview for security reviews.
Your data
Where does my data go?
Memory, files and conversations are stored on your computer. What a bot sends to your AI, and to any app or service you connect, goes to them, so choose ones you trust. The security page lists every destination.
Can I see what it remembers?
Yes. Open the memory, see where each item came from, pin it, edit it or make it forget.
Can I see what a bot is told?
Yes. Open any bot to see everything it reads, in order, and the last turn exactly as it read it.
Will my bots stay the same bots?
Yes. With Continuity, you write who a bot is to you, how you work together and what it has committed to, and it carries that into every conversation, on any engine. Only you can change it. If you turn on reflection, it suggests things to keep from your own words, and adds them only when you confirm.
AI engines and apps
Which AI can I use?
Fuigo (built in), Claude Code, Codex, Hermes, Grok Build, Cursor, Google Antigravity, Kimi, Qwen, Droid, OpenCode, Pi, local models (Ollama, LM Studio), OpenClaw, and any OpenAI-compatible API (chat only). Each bot can use a different one. To run teams and use tools, pick a tool-capable engine: Fuigo with a supported model, Claude Code, Codex or Hermes. A plain OpenAI-compatible endpoint works for chat and drafting only.
Is it locked to one AI company?
No. Murage sits above Fuigo, Claude Code, Codex, Hermes, local models and more, and runs them as engines. Mix them on one team, and change a bot’s engine any time without losing its memory or its job.
Which apps can it work with?
1,600+ apps, including Gmail, Calendar, Slack and HubSpot, through Flux Router or your own connected-apps key, plus any MCP server.
Can I talk to it?
Yes. Call any bot and just talk. It answers straight away, looks things up while you speak, and hands work to its team. Calls use Flux Router credits or your own voice keys.
With your computer off
Does it work when my computer is off?
On the desktop app, bots and routines run while Murage is open, and a routine that runs late, within 12 hours, still runs. Murage Cloud (coming soon) keeps your team working with your laptop closed. See the Cloud page.
Is Murage Cloud open?
Not yet. Murage Cloud is coming soon, with plans from $49 a month, plus tax where it applies. Join the waitlist on the Cloud page and we will email you when it opens.
Give your first job to Murage.
Download the app, connect the AI you already pay for, and tell your Chief of Staff what needs doing. Plan on about ten minutes from install to a working team.
