SHIPIT by Dzhura · Guides

Something is wrong: symptom and fix

5 min · Everyone · 6 steps

Find your symptom and do what it says. If that does not help, the last step shows how to tell us.

  1. 01SHIPIT does not open

    Start SHIPIT from the Applications folder, where you dragged it from SHIPIT.dmg. On the first launch macOS asks whether to open an app downloaded from the internet: confirm.

    If it still does not open, download a fresh SHIPIT.dmg from your account page and replace the app in Applications. Step by step: install and first launch.

  2. 02An assistant is not installed

    An assistant is not installed

    Open Settings › Agents & AI. On the Claude Code or Codex card that says Not installed, click Install. It takes one to three minutes.

    If the install fails, the window has Try again and Copy details. Keep the details in case you need to write to us. The other way: Open a terminal instead.

    TipIn detail: the Connect Claude and Connect Codex guides.

  3. 03The assistant asks to sign in

    The assistant asks to sign in

    A card that says Installed, not signed in waits for a sign-in to Anthropic or OpenAI. Click Sign in and your browser opens. Use the account that has your plan.

    If you closed the page, click Open the page again. More on signing in: sign-in problems.

  4. 04An agent does not answer

    An agent does not answer

    First look at the conversation. With Ask before acting the agent may be waiting for you: look for Needs your approval. How to answer is in approvals and Ask mode.

    Then check that the assistant card in Settings › Agents & AI says Ready to use. If your plan's limit is used up, the Limits section in Dashboard shows when it resets: usage and limits.

    TipTo stop every agent at once: ⌥⌘. (Option-Command-Period).

  5. 05The Mac gets slow

    The Mac gets slow

    Every pane and every agent is a running program. Settings › Panes & sessions has Sleep idle agents: an agent that sits idle in a workspace you are not looking at stops. Its pane and conversation stay, and it wakes with Play. Plain shells never sleep on their own.

    A project you do not need right now can sleep as a whole: Sleep workspace in the workspace menu in the Code tab.

  6. 06Still stuck: tell us

    Still stuck: tell us

    In Settings › General click Report a problem…. Say what happened and what you expected. How it works and what is sent: report a problem.

Tips

Questions

The agent has been thinking for a long time. Is it stuck?

Not always. If it waits for your approval, the conversation shows the request. If not, stop it and ask again.

Does stopping an agent break anything?

No. The agent stops working on the current task, and the conversation stays.
