Support

Yardarm is free, open-source software maintained by its contributors. Here's how to get help and how to reach us.

Contact

• Email — support@yardarmdev.com
• GitHub issues — github.com/JJJ-Mo3/yardarm/issues (preferred for bugs and feature requests, so others can find the answer too)

Before you write in

Most questions are answered in the built-in resources:

• The troubleshooting guide — including the macOS "Yardarm is damaged" fix, empty model dropdowns, and context-window errors.
• The FAQ — accounts, privacy, local models, worktrees.
• The documentation — install, setup, and every feature.
• Inside the app, the help button beside the theme toggle (or Cmd+9) opens a built-in guide, FAQ, and troubleshooting section.

What to include in a bug report

• Your Yardarm version and macOS version (Settings → About lists both).
• The exact error text — Settings → About shows the bundled runtime's boot status and the full error if the agent fails to start; chat errors appear in the transcript.
• What you were doing when it happened, and whether it happens every time.
• Which model/provider was active (local models: include the server, e.g. Ollama, and the configured context length).
