GitHub Copilot app at a glance
GitHub's desktop app for agent-driven development runs parallel sessions across repositories, supports MCP servers, and can schedule recurring cloud automations.
What changed with GitHub Copilot app
The GitHub Copilot app is now generally available for macOS, Windows, and Linux. Sessions can start from an issue, pull request, or prompt, and several can run in parallel, each on its own branch and worktree.
Users review diffs and validate work in a built-in terminal and browser, then open pull requests that go through the team's existing checks. Canvases keep a shared plan or session visible, cloud automations run scheduled agent work without your computer staying on, and each session can use a chosen model plus external tools through MCP servers.
Why GitHub Copilot app matters for businesses
The changelog does not list pricing. For small teams, scheduled cloud automations and PR-based review make it easier to delegate routine code work while keeping the usual approval steps.
