openFoundry 0.4.5 beta (Windows x64)

Windows x64 beta of openFoundry 0.4.5, built from main.

What's new since 0.4.4

• Setup wizard rebuilt in Fluent UI. A full-window workbench flow (Workspace, Profile, Runtime, Model, Ready) with a Windows 11 OOBE-style layout, direction-aware page transitions, a quiet progress rail, a searchable model picker, and a compact review step.
• Runtime detection works from a desktop launch. Explorer launches do not inherit a terminal PATH, so probes now include the PATH and documented install locations a desktop launch omits: the per-user and Program Files locations, plus ~/.local/bin and Homebrew paths on the other platforms. Foundry, Ollama, and llama.cpp are found without starting the app from a terminal.
• System llama.cpp installs are read-only. A detected system install is shown in setup, but only an openFoundry-managed copy can be started, stopped, or uninstalled.
• External links open in your browser. Links route through the local server to the operating system handler instead of being dropped by the WebView or opening a second app window.
• Browser launching no longer depends on cmd /c start quoting.

Install

1. Download openFoundry_0.4.5_x64-setup.exe.
2. Run it and finish the installer. It adds a Start menu shortcut and the openfoundry command line.
3. The installer is unsigned, so SmartScreen may warn: choose More info, then Run anyway.
4. The app needs the Microsoft Edge WebView2 runtime, which is present on current Windows 10 and 11.

openFoundry 0.4.4 beta (Windows x64)

Windows x64 beta of openFoundry 0.4.4, rebuilt from main after the regression sweep. This build supersedes the 0.4.3 Windows installer, which was produced before the fixes below.

Fixes since 0.4.3

• Knowledge sources chosen when creating a base are now attached (clone or add), instead of being silently dropped.
• Chat-model picker on knowledge-base creation offers only chat-capable deployments; embeddings-only deployments are excluded.
• Agent versioning now cuts a version for tool, knowledge, memory and guardrail edits, and Publish new version actually creates one. Selecting a version restores the full configuration.
• Upload toast reports the real indexed count instead of 0.
• Modal dialogs close on Escape and contain keyboard focus (Tab/Shift+Tab), restoring focus to the opener.
• Streaming replies can be stopped from the agent builder chat and the Playground; the partial reply is kept.
• Chat errors surface the API's own message (for example a missing chat.use permission) instead of a generic model failure.
• Build → Data distinguishes a filtered no-match from an empty workspace and the route is tracked in the repository.
• Project export includes every knowledge base and document.
• Structured extraction parses CSV and JSON uploads into tables and fields.

Install

1. Download openFoundry_0.4.4_x64-setup.exe.
2. Run it and finish the installer. It adds a Start menu shortcut and the openfoundry command line.
3. The installer is unsigned, so SmartScreen may warn: choose More info → Run anyway.
4. The app needs the Microsoft Edge WebView2 runtime, which is present on current Windows 10/11.

openFoundry 0.4.4 beta (Linux x64, Debian/Ubuntu)

Linux x64 (Debian package) beta of openFoundry 0.4.4, built from main after the regression sweep.

Requirements

• Ubuntu 22.04 or later, or Debian 12 or later, x86-64.
• The package declares libwebkit2gtk-4.1-0 and libgtk-3-0; apt installs them if missing.

Install

sudo apt install ./openFoundry_0.4.4_amd64.deb

It installs /usr/bin/openfoundry, the app resources under /usr/lib/openFoundry, and a desktop entry. Launch openFoundry from the applications menu or run openfoundry.

Fixes since 0.4.3

• Knowledge sources chosen when creating a base are now attached (clone or add), instead of being silently dropped.

openFoundry 0.4.3 beta (Windows x64)

Windows beta build of openFoundry 0.4.3.

What is new in this build

• Setup can install a runtime. Step 2 of onboarding now installs
  llama.cpp end to end — the matching Windows CPU build from GitHub plus
  a small Qwen2.5 0.5B Instruct starter model — then starts, stops and
  removes the server. It shows live progress and reuses finished
  downloads when you retry.
• Redesigned setup screen. One recommended install with a real
  action, the other runtimes (Ollama, LM Studio, Foundry Local) reported
  with their true state and an official download link, and the raw
  endpoint fields moved behind a disclosure.
• The openFoundry command line ships with the installer and is
  added to the machine PATH.

Downloads

openFoundry_0.4.3_x64-setup.exe — installer (recommended)

• Installs to C:\Program Files\openFoundry
• Start Menu folder + desktop shortcut
• Proper uninstaller in Add or Remove Programs
• Installs the Microsoft WebView2 Runtime automatically if missing
• Adds the install directory to the machine PATH
• ~36 MB

openFoundry-0.4.3-windows-x64.zip — portable, no install

• Extract the folder and run openfoundry.exe
• Keep the whole folder together — the exe needs WebView2Loader.dll,
  next-server/ and resources/ beside it
• For the CLI, run openfoundry.cmd from that folder
• ~54 MB

Requires 64-bit Windows 10 or 11.

The command line

Installed to C:\Program Files\openFoundry\openfoundry.cmd. Open a new
PowerShell or Command Prompt window after installing so it picks up the
updated PATH.

openFoundry access-code                 # mint a code (replaces the old one)
openFoundry access-code list            # every code and its state
openFoundry access-code revoke          # revoke codes and sign out sessions
openFoundry access-code revoke --email you@example.com
openFoundry status                      # data directory, owners, sessions

It reads the same data directory as the app:
%APPDATA%\app.openfoundry.desktop\data.

Known issues

• Unsigned build. Windows SmartScreen shows "Windows protected your
  PC" on first run. Choose More info → Run anyway. Code signing is
  not set up yet.
• Do not move openfoundry.exe on its own. It needs
  WebView2Loader.dll, next-server/ and resources/ beside it.
• Built on macOS. This exe is cross-compiled with mingw
  (x86_64-pc-windows-gnu) from the exact source at this tag. The
  installer and CLI were smoke-tested under Wine, not on physical
  Windows.

openFoundry 0.4.3 beta (macOS, Apple silicon)

macOS beta build of openFoundry 0.4.3 (Apple silicon, arm64).

What is new in this build

• Setup can install a runtime. Step 2 of onboarding now installs
  llama.cpp end to end — the matching GitHub build plus a small
  Qwen2.5 0.5B Instruct starter model — and starts, stops and removes
  the server. It shows live progress and reuses finished downloads when

  endpoint fields moved behind a disclosure.
• The openFoundry command line ships with the app. On first launch
  it links the launcher into /usr/local/bin or ~/.local/bin.

Downloads

openFoundry_0.4.3_aarch64.dmg — 56 MB, drag openFoundry into
Applications.

Requires macOS 13.5 or later on Apple silicon.

The command line

openFoundry access-code                 # mint a code (replaces the old one)
openFoundry access-code list            # every code and its state
openFoundry access-code revoke          # revoke codes and sign out sessions
openFoundry access-code revoke --email you@example.com
openFoundry status                      # data directory, owners, sessions

It reads the same data directory as the app
(~/Library/Application Support/app.openfoundry.desktop/data). If your
shell was already open before the first launch, start a new terminal.

Known issues

• Unsigned and notarized? No. The app is ad-hoc signed only. macOS
  Gatekeeper will refuse a plain double-click. Install, then either
  right-click the app and choose Open, or run
  xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/openFoundry.app.
  A Developer ID certificate is needed to remove this step.

Build provenance

This binary was cross-compiled on macOS (mingw, x86_64-pc-windows-gnu) from a working tree that also contained the mobile/PWA work. It is therefore a superset of the source at this tag: the mobile-only surfaces are inert on Windows, but the binary does not exactly match this commit. A future build should be produced from a clean checkout of the windows branch.

Beta

This is a beta release. Please report issues at https://github.com/Sharjeelbaig/openFoundry/issues

openFoundry 0.4.2

openFoundry 0.4.2 for macOS on Apple silicon.

Responsive workspace

The workspace now works on tablet and phone-sized screens:

• Primary navigation collapses into a drawer below 900px.
• The sidebar no longer consumes content width on small screens.
• Headers, tabs, toolbars, metric cards, docs and tables wrap or scroll instead of clipping.
• The agent builder becomes single-column on tablets and phones.
• Model deployment and service endpoint cards no longer force the page wider than the screen.
• Empty table states fit the viewport.

This was checked screen by screen at 1024, 768 and 390 pixels across the home,
discover, build, operate, manage, docs and playground surfaces.

Also included

• The per-agent chat completions endpoint fix from 0.4.1 remains in place.
• refurbishing and main are now at the same commit.
• An Android APK assessment is included. Tauri supports Android, but this app
  packages a Next.js server and Node runtime as a desktop sidecar. Tauri mobile
  cannot run that sidecar, so an APK would open to an empty screen. A real
  mobile client needs either a thin client that connects to a running
  openFoundry server, or a separate native/static app.

Install

• Requires macOS 13.5 or later on Apple silicon.
• Ad-hoc signed and not notarized. On first launch, right-click the app, choose Open.
  On macOS 15 and later, use System Settings > Privacy & Security > Open Anyway.
• The SHA-256 checksum is attached.
• Replacing the app keeps workspace data.

See TEST-GUIDE.md in the download folder for screen-by-screen testing.
