Get up and running with Parsaa in minutes. This guide walks you through your first session.

Your First Session

1

Install Parsaa

Download Parsaa from parsaa.app and follow the installation guide.
2

Open your project in Xcode

Open any Swift project in Xcode. Parsaa detects the active workspace automatically.
3

Pick the project in Parsaa

On the Welcome screen, select the detected project (or pick a folder). Parsaa loads it with full context.
4

Start chatting

Ask a question about your code. Parsaa sees your open files, project structure, and build errors — no copy-pasting needed.

Try These Workflows

Ask “Explain the architecture of this project” or “How does the networking layer work?”Parsaa reads the relevant files and answers in context, using its built-in tools to navigate your codebase.

Built-in Tools

During a conversation, Parsaa’s agent autonomously calls tools to work in your project. You don’t invoke them manually — the agent picks the right tool for each step. A few examples by category:
CategoryTools
Read & navigatefile_tree, read_files, grep_project, globs, search_file_names, get_symbol_info, semantic_search
Editcreate_file, edit_file, rewrite_file, delete_file, apply_code
Build & runcompile_app, run_app, test_app, stop_app, list_schemes, list_simulators
Plan & extendplan_create, todo_write, skill, mcp_tool, web_search
You can enable, disable, and set per-tool permissions in Settings → Extensions → Tools.
