Apex v0.1.0 (alpha) — first public release

Powered by Navi. Your machine. Your model. No cloud.

This is Apex's first public release: the standalone desktop app that puts Navi — a cybersecurity-tuned local AI — on your own hardware. Alpha means alpha: Linux only, rough edges included, and issue reports very welcome.

Download & install

  1. Download apex-0.1.0-alpha-linux.zip below and unzip it.
  2. Run ./install.sh — the scripts ship with their executable permission set, no chmod needed.
  3. The installer profiles your hardware and tunes her runtime settings to your machine, asks whether the model server loads on app launch or at boot, and downloads the model (~3.3 GB llamafile) unless it's already installed.
  4. Launch Apex from your applications menu. The dashboard also lives at http://localhost:8675 in a browser, as a fallback.

Reinstalls and --fresh installs preserve your chips, knowledge packs, Soul/Memory, and voice setup.

What's inside

  • CLI-first chat — commands run instantly, raw output becomes context she reasons over; $ forces CLI, > forces Navi
  • Chips — tools as .png cartridges with the code inside the image; browse the NUR (GitHub topic navi-chips), forge your own in Chip Studio
  • Knowledge packs — GitHub repos tagged navi-rag, indexed locally, only active packs feed answers; first pack is first-response (CISA playbooks + NIST SP 800-61 Rev. 3)
  • Local voice — faster-whisper + Kokoro, entirely on your machine, call mode included
  • GitHub built in — project pulse, issues, roadmap, discussions; optional Device-Flow sign-in; backups of your essentials to your own private navi-backup repo
  • Four themes, including a Nordic dark; hardware profiling at install so her settings fit your machine, not the developer's
  • In-app wiki — 12 pages of plain-language docs, including the chip API

Known issues

  • Microphone in the desktop window doesn't reach her on all systems yet (typing always works). Tracked in the issues; reports with your OS/desktop details help.
  • Windows and macOS installers are not in this release — they're parked as issues for a later round.

Lineage

Navi started as an open-source CLI at SaintsSec/Navi — that repo stays as the legacy archive. Full history in the CHANGELOG.

AGPL-3.0.
