## Choose your setup

Use Roboty on iPhone to design tasks and review results. Use the Mac app for a connected workspace. [Device and workspace choices](/guide/setup/devices) explains which setup fits your task.

Start [learning without installation](/guide/learn), or open your installed Roboty app.

## Private beta access

On the Roboty website, choose [Apply for beta](/download) to request iOS, Mac or both. Access is by invitation. Public downloads are not available yet. Selected testers receive installation instructions by email. Applying does not create an account, start a run or guarantee access or a release date.

## Already installed

For a supported physical arm, open Roboty for Mac and choose **Home → Add a robot**. Your iPhone is optional. Roboty manages its runtime; no separate Python, conda, LeLab, ChatGPT login or AI provider setup is needed. Supplier assembly and servicing tools remain separate.

Use the app’s **Help** for instructions that match your build, including offline. [Choose your device and workspace](/guide/setup/devices), then follow the controls and readiness shown in your app.

## Find your installed version

On iPhone or iPad, open **Connect → Connection details**. The report starts with the Roboty version and build number. **Copy report** copies those details for a support request. Review the contents before sending it.

On Mac, open Roboty's **Settings → Advanced**, then expand **Diagnostic report** under Connection report. The report starts with the Roboty Mac version. **Copy report** copies the displayed information. This report does not show a build number. Include the version and any build identifier supplied with your installation if support needs it.

[Devices and workspaces](/guide/setup/devices) is the shared requirements and storage reference. Use your invited build's requirements and the selected task's readiness message. A newer guide does not make an older build compatible.

## Explore more

Repository contributors can follow [development prerequisites and commands](/guide/setup/developer). [Mac setup](/guide/setup/mac) explains host/workspace choices. Development signing and installation are distinct from a public consumer download.

## Prefer to start without an app

[Learn robotics](/guide/learn) or [review robot setup](/guide/get-started/physical/equipment) without installing an app. The website explains the physical setup; Roboty for Mac performs component checks and setup procedures. [Apply for beta access](/download) if you need the app.

## Physical setup on Mac

If you came to set up a robot, use the invited Roboty for Mac installation. Choose **Home → Add a robot**. The existing Workspace shortcut also opens the same preparation. The Mac manages the hardware connection and saved setup. An iPhone is optional guidance, not the USB owner.

The first-use choices also offer **Try a simulation**. Choose what you want to do before choosing an execution device. Returning users resume their retained work. Installing or selecting a journey never enables physical operation.

Use [Add a supported robot](/guide/setup/physical-robot#choose-the-experience) for necessary software configuration and calibration on the owning Mac. Suppliers retain assembly, firmware servicing and repairs. Preserve their assembly sequence and the optional [note from Gabe](/guide/setup/physical-robot#founder-assembly-resources). Each hardware action needs its own current local review. Powered commissioning remains separately qualified.
