SurfaceWhat it is
Mac appStandalone Telekit.app. Wizard, Settings, compiled bridge, account/credits.
CLItelekit on PATH. Same bridge. Source checkout or compiled runtime.
Every later Telegram command is the same.

​
Mac Settings (Mac app only)

Settings → General — harness, working folder, Keep Awake, logs, updates. Settings → Personas / Skills — file bodies, apply a persona to a bot tile. From the CLI, telekit persona and telekit skill do the same.

​
App vs source

  • Mac app / compiled CLI: telekit self-update installs the latest from telekit.io.
  • Source checkout: self-update refuses. Update the checkout, then telekit restart or /restart.
The installer never overwrites your existing settings or Keychain items.

​
Working folder

  • Default: every message runs in TELEKIT_WORKING_DIR (the home lane).
  • /node ~/path/ seats a folder for later turns (owner).
  • If a named project list is present on this Mac, /node shows it and /node <name> switches.
