Ground station for your crew.
Roger runs a crew of agents on your machine — a lead that delegates to planners, developers and reviewers working in parallel. This is where their telemetry lands: what each mission cost, which model spent it, and who may fly what.
Desktop deployment ready
Your next coding mission starts on your Mac.
Roger is an agentic, multi-model coding assistant with Plan and Build modes, a multi-agent Mission Board, project files and Git, MCP, local secure keys, and usage controls.

MACOS FIRST LAUNCH
Why macOS shows a warning
Roger is ad-hoc signed, but it is not Apple Developer ID signed or notarized. macOS therefore cannot verify a registered developer or Apple notarization and shows a warning on first launch.

A lead that delegates, in parallel
Roger is a desktop app. A lead model takes the mission, breaks it into pieces and hands them to planners, developers and reviewers that run at the same time — each on its own model, each burning its own tokens and its own money.
The field above is that, drawn honestly: a lead dispatching delegates, holding them while they work, and taking their reports back.
What comes home
Every request the crew makes reports one line. That line is metrics only, and it travels beside the encrypted conversation sync, never inside it.
Days are aggregated in UTC and every axis on this site says so — the desktop counts your local days, and near midnight the two disagree. Saying which is which is cheaper than a support thread.
Spend you can attribute
Cost broken out per API key, per project and per model, so which key is this and what did that project cost have answers rather than estimates. Revoked keys stay on the list, greyed, because last month still happened.
Cache reads and cache writes are counted apart from fresh input, which is the only way to see the work a long session saved you. Understand your activity — not a reason to use more.
Who may fly what
Admins see every member’s spend inside their organization, set daily, weekly or monthly budgets, and choose which models each member may run. The desktop enforces entitlements everywhere, including compaction and background tools.
It is a management view, not a scoreboard. Nobody is ranked by money spent, and streaks, breadth and cache economy are what the achievements reward.
Usage reporting, stated plainly
Roger shares usage metrics — model, provider, API key, token counts, cost and timestamps — with your organization’s admins. Your prompts, code, file contents and conversation titles are never uploaded.
It is a switch in the desktop app, on by default. Turn it off and admins see Reporting off beside your name, never a zero that would read as an idle week. Conversations sync end-to-end encrypted on a separate channel; the cloud only ever stores ciphertext.
