Find your quiet ↗THE IDEA HAS ROOM TO GROW
Start loose.
Make it yours.
Projects that stay projects.
Save and reopen your work, revisit saved history, and move supported project resources with portable ZIP exports.
Share a saved moment.
Cloud sync is a deliberate action. Upload a selected, saved project, then download its cloud copy on another installation signed in to your Anchor account.
BRING YOUR OWN SPARK
Your ideas.
Your AI.
One workspace.
Use supported connections to your own AI accounts, or configure a supported custom model endpoint. Your provider, model and connection stay your choice.
An Anchor account and an AI provider sign-in serve different purposes. Provider availability depends on your connection and build.
How the accounts fit togetherA GOOD PLACE TO BEGIN
Make yourself
at home.
Anchor is currently in private Windows QA. If you have a build, here is how to get from your first launch to your next idea.
Open account help01Open your desktop build
Extract the build you were given and use its supplied launch file. Start a local project or open an existing design. This website does not currently provide a public installer.
02Connect your own AI
Choose a supported AI connection in the app and follow its sign-in flow, or configure a supported custom model endpoint. Use your own provider account or key. Your Anchor sign-in does not replace an AI subscription.
03Create or sign in to Anchor
Open Anchor account in the desktop app. Choose Create account or Sign in. If you create an account, follow the email confirmation step, then return to Anchor and sign in. Account preferences and explicit project cloud sync use this account.
For help with confirmation or access, visit account.anchorstudio.dev.
04Move a project between installations
Save your project first. From Home, open its project actions, choose Sync to cloud, then Upload saved project. On the other installation, sign in to the same Anchor account and open the saved copy from Cloud projects.
Uploads are explicit. If another installation has a newer revision, Anchor reports a conflict and preserves your local edits.
ON THE HORIZON
A little more headroom.
Local context optimization is planned for Anchor Pro. It is not available yet, and there is no Pro checkout on this site.
