Install

Download Lace from inlace.co and drag it into your Applications folder. Open the app from Applications or Spotlight.

​
Grant permissions

Lace needs three macOS permissions for full functionality:
PermissionWhy
Screen recordingCaptures a screenshot of your active window
AccessibilityReads text, labels, roles, and interactive state from the accessibility tree
MicrophoneTranscribes voice input for dictation in chat
macOS prompts for screen recording and accessibility on first launch, and microphone the first time you use voice dictation. You can manage all three in System Settings > Privacy & Security. See Permissions for details.

​
Sign in

Open Lace and sign in with your account. Your workspace is scoped to your organization.

​
Start a conversation

Press ⌘L to show or hide Lace. Type a message to start a new chat. Lace reads your active window and uses it as context automatically.
Chats can belong to a project or exist on their own. Use projects to group related conversations around a product area.

​
Attach files

Click the paperclip button in the composer to attach a document to any chat. Lace indexes the file and cites specific sections inline in its responses. Supported formats: PDF, CSV, Markdown, Word (.docx), and plain text (.txt) — up to 50 MB per file, 10 files per chat.
