Getting started
Build your first app in about five minutes.
quez is a desktop app for your Mac. You describe what you want in plain English, and quez builds it, runs it, and checks that it actually works — right on your own computer. No coding required.
1. Download quez
- Click Download for Mac (or the Download button on quez-ai.com).
- When the .dmg file finishes downloading, double-click it to open it.
- Drag the quez icon onto the Applications folder shown in the window.
2. Open quez for the first time
Because quez is a brand-new app that Apple hasn't finished reviewing yet, macOS shows a one-time safety prompt the first time you open it. This is normal — here's how to get past it (you only do this once):
- Open your Applications folder and double-click quez.
- If macOS says it "could not verify" quez, click Done (do not click "Move to Trash").
- Open the Apple menu → System Settings → Privacy & Security.
- Scroll to the Security section — you'll see a note that "quez was blocked." Click Open Anyway.
- Launch quez again and click Open. From now on it opens normally.
We're completing Apple's notarization so this step will disappear soon — new versions will open with a simple double-click.
3. What you need
- A Mac with Apple Silicon (M1 or newer), running macOS 12 or later.
- An internet connection for signing in and for the AI to build (your code stays on your machine).
- Windows & Intel Macs are coming.
4. Build your first app
- Open quez and, in the Agent box, describe what you want — e.g. "Build me a todo app with dark mode."
- quez writes the code, then you press ▶ Run to see it live in the Preview tab.
- quez tests its own work — you'll see green ✓ checks confirming the app loads and runs.
- Keep chatting to change anything: "make the header purple", "add a delete button."
5. Your free credit
New accounts start with $5 of free build credit — no credit card. That's enough to build several apps. After that you can top up quez Cloud credits, or bring your own AI on the Pro plan (see Bring your own AI).
6. Your code is yours
Everything quez builds lives on your computer, in real files and real git. You can open it, export it, or push it to your own repository anytime — there's no lock-in.
