openTARS

A local AI assistant for Linux, Windows and macOS. Ask in your own words and it opens programs, clicks buttons by name, types, searches the web, looks at the screen and runs commands. With a local model, processing stays on your machine. No subscription.

This repository is a mirror of the app for people who find openTARS here. The source of truth, issues and releases are on GitHub: https://github.com/project-opentars/OpenTARS. Website: https://project-opentars.github.io/OpenTARS/

What is here

• opentars_all.deb: the Ubuntu/Debian package (version 5.2 "Ranger", revision 2026110101).
