Getting started
Install and sign in
How to download and install Accovod on macOS and Windows, activate your license and get started. System requirements, first launch and updates.
Accovod is available for macOS, Windows and iPhone/iPad. For iOS, see Accovod for iOS.
Requirements and installation
Section titled “Requirements and installation”Requirements: macOS 14 Sonoma or later, Apple Silicon (M1 and newer) or Intel.
-
Sign in to your account and click Download → macOS 14+ next to your license.
-
Unzip the archive and drag Accovod.app into the Applications folder.
Don’t run the app straight from Downloads: macOS starts such apps from a temporary copy, and some features — connecting AI agents, for example — won’t work.
-
Open Accovod from Applications or with Spotlight.
Requirements: Windows 10 or 11. The main build is 64-bit; a 32-bit build is also available.
-
Sign in to your account and click Download → Windows x64 (or Windows x86 for a 32-bit system) next to your license.
-
Unzip the archive into a folder you can write to, such as
C:\Accovod. There’s no installer: the program runs right from this folder. -
Run
Accovod.exe.
Windows 7 and 8 have a separate Windows 7/8 build on the account page. It’s an older version of the program, and most of this documentation doesn’t apply to it.
Signing in and activation
Section titled “Signing in and activation”Accovod asks you to sign in on first launch.
- Email and password — the same as your account on accovod.com. The license is bound to this computer automatically. On macOS this is the Account tab.
- Activation key — for a license bought without an account, or if sign-in doesn’t work. Enter the email you used for the purchase, and the program generates a key for this computer. Activate it on your account page or on the activation page the program links to. On macOS this is the License key tab: Get activation key, then Use this key.
Updates
Section titled “Updates”Starting with version 6.5.0, Accovod updates itself:
- once a day it checks for a new version and downloads it in the background;
- it installs the update when you quit Accovod, so open profiles and AI agents aren’t interrupted;
- if you don’t quit for more than two days, it offers to restart.
To check right away, choose Accovod → Check for Updates… in the menu bar. If an update is already downloaded, Accovod offers to install it and restart.
If you have a version older than 6.5.0, update once by hand: download the new version from your account page and replace Accovod.app in Applications. Your profiles and groups stay.
Accovod checks for updates on its own and offers to install them. The update is downloaded and installed into the same folder, then the program restarts.
If an update is required, the app tells you at launch.
Interface language
Section titled “Interface language”Change the language in Settings (the gear at the bottom of the profile list). Available: English, Russian, Chinese, Portuguese, Spanish and Vietnamese.
