Zep

Install Zep

Zep ships two ways. Pick whichever fits.

For most people: download the app

  1. Download Zep.dmg from the latest release.
  2. Open the DMG and drag Zep to your Applications folder.
  3. Double-click Zep. It’ll open a tab in your browser and put a lightning-bolt icon in your menu bar.

The first launch opens a setup flow that walks you through connecting Slack, GitLab, and Airflow.

For developers: Homebrew

Terminal window
brew tap Zenku-App/zep
brew install zep
zep

zep binds 127.0.0.1:8550, opens the UI in your browser, and runs a menu-bar icon. Data lives in ~/.zep/.

Flags

FlagWhat it does
--no-traySkip the menu bar icon (still opens the browser)
--port <n>Bind a different port (default 8550)
--data-dir <path>Use a different data directory (default ~/.zep/)

Environment variables:

  • ZEP_NO_BROWSER=1 suppresses the auto-open. Useful for systemd-style supervision.
