Getting started

What you need

  • A Mac with macOS 15 Sequoia or later.
  • At least one AI tool that writes files on your Mac, such as Claude Code or Codex. See Supported AI tools.

You don't need an account, a sign-in or an API key.

1. Install

  1. Open Docnest.dmg.
  2. Drag Docnest into Applications.
  3. Open Docnest from Applications.

Docnest lives on a shelf at the edge of your screen. It has no Dock icon unless the library is open. The outlined letter D in the menu bar is optional, and you can turn it off.

2. Answer one question

On first launch, Docnest opens a window called Read agent session records.

The "Read agent session records" window with Don’t Allow and Allow
  • Allow: Docnest reads the session records that Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI and Hermes leave on your Mac. That tells it which AI wrote each document, wherever the file is saved.
  • Don’t Allow: Docnest still collects documents by watching your project folders, but it can only guess which AI wrote them, so the source shows as estimated or unknown.

What Docnest keeps: file paths, the session, the model, the working folder and the time. It reads commands and tool results only in memory, to tell sources apart, and doesn't keep them. If you use agent conversations, Docnest keeps short excerpts from the last 7 days on this Mac, with anything that looks like a secret masked. Nothing leaves your Mac.

You can change your answer any time in Settings → Collecting → How Docnest collects. If you close the window without answering, Docnest asks again at the next launch.

3. Work as usual

There's nothing else to set up. Docnest collects what your agents write after you install it. Files that were already there aren't added to review.

By default it collects documents, plans and images. PDFs, code and other formats stay off until you turn them on in Settings → Collecting → Formats.

Docnest follows your agent sessions. When a session writes a file, Docnest collects it wherever it's saved. It also watches the folders that session works in until 10 minutes after the session stops.

4. Find the shelf

New documents arrive on the shelf at the edge of your screen. By default, a small status tab sits at the middle of the right edge of your main display. Rest the pointer on it to see which AI wrote your documents and how many are waiting, and then the shelf opens. You can also press ⌃⌥⌘O from any app, unless another app already uses that shortcut. To move the tab to another edge, height or display, go to Settings → Display.

The status tab at rest, then with the pointer on it, then the shelf expanded

Click the menu bar icon to see your session and review counts, collected documents and today's new documents, followed by Open shelf, Open library, Settings… and Quit Docnest. If you don't need the icon, turn off Show menu bar icon in Settings → Display. You can still open the shelf from the screen edge.
