README
Wandesk
**One shell, one AI kernel that knows everything, one workerd. Everything else is an app.**
An open-source AI desktop. Describe an app and the built-in agent writes it into your workspace; the desktop grows an icon on the spot. Every app is a standard Cloudflare Worker site with its own origin and its own SQLite. Bring your own model, all local, no signup.

Run from source
Requires Node.js 22+. Chrome (or the desktop shell) — Safari does not resolve `*.localhost`.
git clone https://github.com/Sider-ai/wandesk.git
cd wandesk
npm install
npm run build:overseer # compile the overseer (the supervising layer inside workerd)
npm run dev # kernel on 9600, shell on 5180
Open . Right-click the desktop → Settings next to "Personalize", fill in any Responses- or Chat-Completions-compatible endpoint and a key. Then double-click **App Workshop** and describe an app.
Single-port production build:
npm run build && npm start # http://localhost:9600
Desktop app (Electron):
npm run app # build and open the desktop shell
npm run dist:mac # macOS .app (signed if a Developer ID is in the keychain)
npm run dist:mac:release # signed + notarized .dmg — see build/README.md
npm run dist:win # Windows installer — run on Windows
Prefer a download? Packaged macOS / Windows builds are at **[wandesk.ai](https://wandesk.ai)**.

desktop/ Electron: boots the kernel, points a window at it
kernel/ 🧠 Kernel: knows everything
