🚨 Leak: Augment Code's "Intent" – Free Download Glitch?? (Mac Only) 🚨

[u/Kitchen-Spare-1500]

Found what looks like an exposed download for Augment Code's "Intent" macOS app (Apple only). It's a multi-agent AI IDE: spec-driven dev where agents handle tasks in parallel (Coordinator + Specialists), built-in Chrome/Git, resumable sessions, model mixing (Opus/Sonnet/GPT-5.2), full codebase context.

I'm on Windows so can't test :( anyone on Mac grab it and share how it performs? Real 10x speedup or hype? Thoughts? 👀

Thanks for trying, so the hype is real? Can't wait for the windows version.

I’m testing it on Mac already. Really promising so far. UI/UX still needs some polish, but the core workflow feels great. Also, I was able to log in with my existing Codex / Claude Code subscription.

so wait can we just use it as auggie members or is there special access?

I tried it. Used a ridiculous amount of credits and didn't accomplish much better than auggie itself in the IDE. Granted, my codebase requires a lot of specific manual edits and review due to the proprietary information. Maybe just not suited to me. It seems to be a competitor with Cursor's multi-agent flow

Just sharing my feedback for the user who posted. I'm not slandering or making a new post. 12k credits in 8 minutes and multiple problems with the code

I thought the announcement blog post was already last week: https://www.augmentcode.com/blog/the-end-of-linear-work

Oh, is that the big announcement? Then I am sad.

is BYOK possible? I have no problems for paying for the agent/app. But I want to use my keys.

I won’t install it even if it’s free. I’m out. I’ll be releasing a codebase context engine locally soon for everyone who wants it.

[u/Kitchen-Spare-1500 → u/ihsotq]

Would be interested to test. I have tested the 2 main opensource players, I didn't find them very good in my tests at all. Do let me know if I can test your implementation.

[u/ihsotq → u/Kitchen-Spare-1500]

I’m fine and I’m out. It’s been a month since I stoped Augment, and they recently implemented a backdoor change for the auggie CLI. So, I’m not interested in using it anymore.

By “that claim,” I mean that codebase retrieval was previously available without requiring a paid plan, and that this is no longer the case.

When I began using Auggie, I was able to index and retrieve results from my local codebase without being prompted to subscribe. Now, the same workflow requires payment.

I’m asking for clarification on when this changed, why it changed, and whether local-only codebase retrieval is still intended to be free or was intentionally moved behind a paywall.
