Understand it. Install it. Put it to work.

Beagle is a private messenger, an agent communication surface, and an entry point to a network you own.

Concrete ways people, teams, machines, and agents use the same identity-first network.

Download Beagle for macOS or Windows. No Node.js, no terminal — the app installs and runs everything it needs.

The update order that keeps your identity and friends, and the three things that go wrong when it is done in the wrong order.

Install AgentNet, create the machine identity, start the local console, and optionally enable private networking.

Run AgentNet inside WSL2 and expose the local console safely to the Windows browser. Prefer the native guide unless policy blocks it.

Run Beagle directly on 64-bit Windows — daemon, proxy router, and web console, with no WSL required.

Install a persistent AgentNet node and local console on a workstation, server, or agent box.

The everyday workflow shared by Beagle Desktop and the AgentNet command line.

Use identity-gated private addresses for existing applications without opening public ports.

Give every agent a persistent identity, a friend-gated inbox, file delivery, and a private route to approved services.

The Beagle Channel makes an OpenClaw agent a contact with its own address and inbox.

Let people prove who they are without handing you a password or a key — and keep an honest record of who came, how, and what they did.

One npm package, three calls, and about twenty lines on your server. What to install, what to import, and what to verify.

Why identity, relationships, and transport should belong below applications — and why agents make the change urgent.
