OpenHuman is an open-source desktop agent platform for private, local-first AI workflows. It combines a Rust-powered core, a Tauri desktop shell, and a React UI to help users connect data sources, maintain persistent context, and execute intelligent tasks with a polished, human-friendly interface.
This repository contains the OpenHuman core and desktop application source code. The product targets desktop environments on macOS, Linux, and Windows.

- Desktop-first agent experience: fast onboarding, clear workflows, and a polished UI.
- Persistent local memory: structured Memory Tree summaries stored in SQLite and exported to an Obsidian-compatible vault.
- Integrated connectors: 118+ OAuth integrations for Gmail, Notion, GitHub, Slack, Stripe, Calendar, Drive, Linear, Jira, and more.
- Auto-fetch synchronization: active integrations refresh on a regular loop so the agent keeps current context automatically.
- Model routing: tasks are routed to the right model for reasoning, speed, or vision.
- Native tools: built-in search, web scraping, code operations, voice, and task-specific capabilities.
- Token compression: TokenJuice reduces prompt size before model calls to save cost and latency.
- Privacy and security: workflow data stays local, encrypted, and under user control.
OpenHuman is designed to minimize vendor fragmentation and keep workflow context on device. It focuses on:
- preserving memory beyond single chat sessions,
- delivering a desktop-first user experience,
- enabling easy integration with external tools and services,
- and maintaining user control over data.
