Moving to the new version
From 4.4, the supported update procedure verifies the new Companion has started before closing the previous copy. For the first upgrade from older versions, use Companion included in the 4.4 ZIP.

Local control
Updates, diagnostics and hardware.
Companion evolves alongside T-Chat while keeping management tasks separate from your data and projects.
Copyable diagnostics
Gather service and model information for support. Status, file availability and model activity remain distinct.
HUMANOID lab
Select USB devices, associate projects and manage uploads to supported hardware. Toolchains and devices need verification; physical testing is not automatic.
One place to stay in control
From first installation to everyday work.
Companion makes the infrastructure behind T-Chat easy to understand. It shows what is working, flags what needs attention and keeps essential controls within reach.
Guided installation
Checks the Mac, prepares required components, activates the licence and completes the first start through a clear flow.
Live status
Docker, application, worker, database, Redis, Ollama, ComfyUI and the web interface stay visible in one dashboard.
Start and restart
Start, stop or restart T-Chat and open it in the browser without technical commands.
Protected updates
Packages are verified before installation. Code, configuration and data remain separate, with backup and recovery if something goes wrong.
Local models
Prepare and register engines compatible with Ollama, MLX and llama.cpp. A model appears in T-Chat only when it is actually available.
Local creation
Monitor ComfyUI and media engines installed on the Mac while keeping their availability separate from the platform status.
Interface in 9 languages
Italiano, English, 中文, Español, Deutsch, Français, Português, 日本語 and Русский, with the preference applied immediately across supported views.
T-Chat Nearby

Model Observatory
See how the model really uses your Mac.
File size, parameters, quantisation, context, resident memory and current activity become useful information. Technical telemetry does not record prompts, answers or identities.
Real status
Companion distinguishes an installed model from a model that is ready and in use.
Memory and context
Compare available memory, resident usage, active context and unload timing.
Work phases
Preparation, prefill and generation remain visible without exposing conversation content.
Better choices
The data helps match model, memory and configuration to the real workload.
More capacity, without losing clarity
Different engines. One control layer.
T-Chat Companion separates what is installed, what is configured and what is genuinely reachable.
