How it works
Mac plan and every paid plan
- Your own agent
- Each project works with Claude Code or Codex, the agent already on your Mac. Its usage is billed by its own provider, under your own account with them.
- Planned by Briks
- A new project starts from a plan Briks makes for it, from your words and its library of designs, with your agent doing the writing.
- Checked every turn
- After each turn, Briks checks the site and gives your agent one round to fix what it finds. You can turn that round off and choose what to send.
- Published to Briks
- Publish sends your changes to Briks, which builds the site and puts it live on its hosting, with the same checks as every publish.
- In step with the studio
- Changes made in the studio, or a version restored there, come down to your Mac by themselves.
The Mac plan
The app is free to download and runs on the Mac plan: $9 a month, or $90 a year. There is no trial. Starter and every larger plan include Briks for Mac too.
- Credits
- 75 a month. Building with your own agent uses none; credits pay for the agents team, reading reference pages and AI pictures. A template costs 20 credits on the Mac.
- Hosting
- As many projects as you like on your Mac. One of them hosted on Briks with its own domain, 2 GB of storage and 1,000 emails a month.
- Agents team
- 3 agents working on your site.
Install it
- Download the disk image for your Mac: Apple silicon for Macs with an M chip, Intel for older Macs. Each is its own app, and it updates only to its own kind.
- Open it and drag Briks into Applications.
- Open Briks. The first time, macOS says it cannot check the app: open System Settings, then Privacy & Security, and choose Open Anyway.
- Sign in to Briks, and choose the Mac plan if your workspace has no plan yet.
- Install and sign in to Claude Code or Codex from the app's Get started, which opens Terminal for you.
Updates
Briks checks for a new version a few times a day and downloads it in the background. It installs when you restart Briks, or the next time you quit it. A new version is taken only when Briks signed it.
What stays on your Mac
- Your projects live in a folder on your Mac that you choose.
- Briks never reads or keeps your agent's sign-in, nor the files it reads and the commands it runs.
- Your Briks sign-in is kept with a key your Mac's Keychain holds.
- What reaches Briks: each request you make and your agent's replies, so the studio shows them; the design notes it writes for the plan; what each turn cost it; the files you publish; and the pictures you add to the media library.
