Installation Steps

1. Download the installer

   Visit qoderwork.com and click the Windows button to download the latest .exe installer.

   

   Windows offers two installers with identical functionality; they differ only in install scope and permissions:

   • System (labeled X64 (System) on the download page) — installs to Program Files, available to every Windows account on the machine, and requires admin rights to install. Best for a personal machine where you have admin rights, or when multiple accounts need to share one QoderWork install.
   • User (labeled X64 (User) on the download page) — installs to the current user’s directory (%LOCALAPPDATA%), is available only to the signed-in account, and needs no admin rights. Best for machines without admin rights or under corporate management.

   When in doubt, choose User — it needs no admin rights and is the simplest to install.

2. Run the installer

   1. Double-click the downloaded .exe file to launch the setup wizard.
   2. Follow the prompts to choose an installation location (the default is usually fine).
   3. Click Install and wait for the process to complete.

   If Windows Defender SmartScreen shows a “Windows protected your PC” warning, click More info → Run anyway to proceed.

3. Launch the app

   After installation, search for “Qoder” in the Start Menu and open it, or double-click the desktop shortcut.

4. Sign in

   On a fresh install, QoderWork walks you through signing in. You can use an existing Qoder account or create a new one — email and third-party login are both supported.

   

   Returning users skip this screen: QoderWork keeps your session, restores previous tasks, and drops you straight into the workspace. The account area lives in the lower-left corner of the window — click the avatar to expand the account menu.

   QoderWork shares one account system with Qoder Desktop and Qoder CLI, so your Credits balance and plan entitlements travel across every Qoder product.

5. Open the QoderWork workspace

   QoderWork is a standalone app — there is no “switch to a QoderWork tab inside another product.” Once you sign in you land directly in the main workspace, with the navigation sidebar on the left.

   

   The sidebar holds every common entry point:

   • New Task — start a new task.
   • Expert Kits / Skills / Connectors — install capability extensions for the AI.
   • Scheduled Tasks — tasks that run on a schedule.
   • IM Channel — chat-channel collaboration.
   • Tasks / Channels — review and return to past work.

Updating QoderWork

QoderWork checks for new versions in the background by default. When one is available, the app surfaces an update prompt — the download and relaunch only happen after you confirm. Nothing is replaced without your consent.

To check immediately, click Help → Check for Updates in the menu bar.

Uninstalling

1. Open Settings → Apps → Installed apps.
2. Search for “Qoder”, click the three-dot menu on the right, and select Uninstall.
3. Follow the uninstall wizard to complete the process.

To also remove configuration data, delete the following directory:

%USERPROFILE%\.qoderwork
