The first open-source release of Corvus (MPL-2.0). Installers and automatic updates now come from GitHub Releases of ParendumOU/Corvus.

Download

Platform File
Windows (installer) Corvus-Setup-0.2.0.exe
Windows (portable, no install) Corvus-Portable-0.2.0.exe
Linux (any distro) Corvus-0.2.0-x86_64.AppImage
Debian / Ubuntu corvus_0.2.0_amd64.deb

Check your download against SHA256SUMS.txt. The installers are not code-signed yet, so Windows SmartScreen shows "Windows protected your PC" on first run: choose More info, then Run anyway. macOS builds will follow.

To let Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code or any other MCP client drive Corvus, see Corvus-MCP.

Browser

  • Split view: tile two live tabs side by side, with a draggable divider and focus routing.
  • PDF viewer with AI: an in-app pdf.js viewer with the reading AI suite and page citations.
  • Password manager: an end-to-end-encrypted vault (same crypto as sync) with autofill,
    corvus://passwords, synced across your devices.
  • Annotations: in-page highlights and notes (CSS Custom Highlight API), anchored by text quote
    and synced end to end.
  • Semantic search: BM25 plus optional local embeddings over history, bookmarks and reading
    notes, at corvus://find.
  • Crash recovery: a per-tab recovery page, restore after an unclean exit, and an opt-in local
    crash log.
  • Device sync and management: reading notes, watches and workspaces now sync end to end; list
    and revoke devices at corvus://devices.
  • Settings search: filter the settings and jump straight to the matching control.
  • Onboarding: a first-run wizard for the AI provider, sync phrase, bookmark import and
    preferences.
  • Auto-update: from GitHub Releases by default, or from a self-hosted feed set in
    Settings > Updates. A downgrade is only offered when a pre-release build switches back to Stable.

AI

  • Local models: Ollama and any OpenAI-compatible server, no API key needed. AI search, Assist
    and the reader work offline.
  • Persistent agent runs: runs are saved and can resume mid-loop, with a history at
    corvus://agent-runs. Step previews now say which page the agent opened or read.
  • Scheduled agents: cron or interval AI runs on the watches scheduler, with an
    unattended-approval gate.
  • Per-site AI profiles: a per-domain prompt addendum and a narrower access cap for the agent
    on that site.
  • Recorded flows: record a browser flow and replay it as an approval-gated macro at
    corvus://flows.

For AI agents (MCP)

  • Remote MCP over Streamable HTTP: bind to 127.0.0.1 or 0.0.0.0 with mandatory bearer auth;
    off by default.
  • Snapshot tool: a read-only page artifact (screenshot, DOM outline and network).
  • Automation tools at the Full access level, each approval-gated: run_flow (replay a saved
    recorded flow), cookies, fill_fields and download.
  • Corvus-MCP: the connector now has its own MIT repo,
    ParendumOU/Corvus-MCP, with setup for Claude Code,
    Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, Zed, Cline, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI and any stdio client. The
    bundled bridge now ships the license notices of its dependencies.

Project

  • Source published under MPL-2.0, with SECURITY.md and CONTRIBUTING.md.
  • Windows and Linux only. The installers are not code-signed yet, so Windows SmartScreen shows a
    warning on first run. macOS builds will follow.
