Frequently asked questions
Does this work on Mac or Linux?
Not yet — WieVer is Windows 10/11 only for now.
Windows flagged the installer as unrecognized. Is that normal?
Yes. The installer isn't code-signed yet, so SmartScreen warns the first time
you run it. Click "More info", then "Run anyway". Code-signing is on the
roadmap.
Do I still need my own account with the model provider?
Yes — whichever engine you run. A Claude Pro or Max plan for Claude Code, or
the equivalent account for Codex, Gemini, Qwen, Grok or Kimi. WieVer is the
orchestrator, not a source of model access — see "Bring your own accounts"
above.
Can I run sessions on something other than Claude Code?
Yes — Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, Qwen Code, Grok and Kimi are all launchable
engines, and you can mix them inside one run. Every engine gets the same
worktree isolation and goes through the same merge train. You bring your own
account with each provider; see "Bring your own engine" above.
Do I need anything installed for the other engines?
No — WieVer installs Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, Qwen Code, Grok and Kimi for you
from the Connectors screen, using the Node runtime and Git it ships with, so
nothing has to be on your machine first. Two honest notes: Kimi wants Git for
Windows present at its first launch, and installing Grok isn't the same as
being entitled to use it — that still needs your own SuperGrok subscription,
which WieVer has no way to check.
Is this a terminal app? I don't want to babysit six consoles.
Sessions render as a chat, not a console — slash commands and file mentions
from a menu, attachments, dictation, and tappable buttons when an agent stops
to ask you a question. A single dashboard lists every session running anywhere
in the app, each row with the same stop / open / switch-model controls, so
supervising six looks much like supervising one.
Can I talk to it instead of typing?
Yes — hold Ctrl+E anywhere you could type, speak, and let go. WieverVoice
inserts what you said in one piece, optionally tidied up by AI first, and it
never presses Enter for you — a dictated take can't submit a command on its
own. Speech recognition runs in the app; there are no per-field mic buttons
to hunt for. And for the opposite direction — showing instead of telling —
the built-in snipping tool (Ctrl+Alt+S from any app) captures, crops and
annotates a screenshot, then attaches it straight into a session; you can
also just Ctrl+V an image into any terminal pane.
What happens if I close the app, or Windows reboots mid-run?
Sessions come back with their conversations intact, and you choose per session
which ones restart on their own. If you hit a usage limit instead, every
running session is armed to resume at the reset together rather than one at a
time — and your sign-in is refreshed in the background so a long unattended
run doesn't expire overnight.
Does my code pass through your servers?
No. WieVer runs entirely on your machine and binds only to localhost — there is
no relay and no cloud component. Your code talks to Anthropic directly, through
the claude CLI you already use.
Can I reach it from my phone?
Not out of the box. The desktop app is deliberately localhost-only, so remote
access isn't part of the install today — it's on the roadmap. If you already
run your own tunnel or VPN to that machine, the UI itself works fine in a phone
browser.
How many sessions can I run at once?
Up to 20 concurrent sessions by default. Each one gets its own git worktree, so
they can all work in the same repository without colliding.
Does it open pull requests for me?
The merge train merges, resolves conflicts and verifies entirely on your
machine without any account. If you want it to open the pull request as well,
give it a GitHub token — otherwise it leaves you a clean, tested integration
branch to push yourself.
What happens if I'm offline?
Your licence keeps working for 14 days without an internet check — enough for a
flight or a bad connection. It re-verifies automatically next time you're
online.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes — cancel from your Polar customer portal whenever you like. No lock-in.
How do I get my license key?
It's emailed to you the moment your payment goes through, and it's also kept in your
customer portal — sign in with the email you paid with and it's on the page. If the
email hasn't shown up, check spam, then use the portal; the key is always there.
How many machines can I use one license on?
Two. Activate it on both and they work independently — a desktop and a laptop, say.
If you need a third, deactivate one first; there's a button for it in
Settings → License.
How do I move WieVer to a new machine?
On the old machine, open Settings → License and click Deactivate — that
frees the seat immediately. Then install on the new one and paste the same key. If the
old machine is already gone or won't boot, open your customer portal and remove its
activation from there; each one is labelled with its computer name.
What happens if my payment fails?
Polar retries the charge and emails you. Nothing changes in WieVer while that's going
on. If it ultimately can't be collected and the subscription lapses, WieVer stops
launching new sessions — but nothing else changes; see the next answer.
What happens to my worktrees and branches if I cancel?
They stay exactly where they are. They're ordinary git worktrees and branches in your
own repositories on your own disk, and cancelling doesn't touch them. WieVer stops
launching new sessions, and that's the only thing it stops: you can still open the app,
read everything, run the merge train, export your work, and push. A run that's already
going finishes. Losing a subscription should never mean losing access to code.
