Celina 0.1.0 — first private alpha

Celina is a quiet, local-first research tool for looking into a topic without logging in as yourself.

In this alpha

  • Zero-login Scanner across open research, web, recent news, and Wikipedia sources.
  • Grounded answers with citations checked against retrieved content.
  • Local research notes and Library projects.
  • BYOK support for Anthropic, OpenAI, OpenRouter, xAI, or fully local Ollama inference.
  • Observable search trace, Token Watchtower, and Traffic Controller.
  • Windows desktop build with Obscura bundled for cookieless reading.

Important privacy boundary

Celina does not log in as you. Sites see a visitor without your account history, so results are not shaped by that history and visits are not tied to those accounts. Celina does not hide your IP address or provide VPN, proxy, or Tor protection.

Your keys and saved work remain on your machine. With Ollama selected, inference can remain fully local.

Install

  1. Download Celina.exe.
  2. Run it on Windows 11 (WebView2 is normally already installed).
  3. Add one model key in the first-run screen, or choose Ollama.
  4. Search a question and keep anything worth returning to.

This build is not code-signed yet, so Windows may show a SmartScreen warning on first launch. Select More info, then Run anyway if you trust the download.

Feedback

Please report setup issues, broken sources, or misleading citations in the repository Issues tab. This is an alpha: the goal is to learn where Celina earns trust and where she needs work.
