Install

Download the latest release for your platform from yourownai.net/download - macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel), Windows, and Linux (.deb / .rpm). Free, open source, no account required.

A note for Windows users

Your Own AI is newly released, so Windows and your browser may show a couple of safety prompts before it runs. This is normal for new apps and clears up as more people install.

• Downloading in Edge: if it says "isn't commonly downloaded," click ⋯ → Keep → Show more → Keep anyway. (Chrome: just Keep.)
• Opening it: if you see "Windows protected your PC," click More info → Run anyway.

Verify your download

Every release ships a SHA256SUMS.txt alongside the installers, so you can confirm your download matches what we published. Only download Your Own AI from yourownai.net or our GitHub releases - never from a third-party mirror.

What the app needs

• Any modern machine works. The app detects your hardware and the model catalog shows what fits: green means fully on your graphics card and fast, yellow means partly on the processor and slower.
• GPU acceleration ships in the box: Vulkan on Linux and Windows, Metal on macOS. NVIDIA machines can add a one-click CUDA engine later.
• Disk space is mostly models: small ones from ~2 GB, larger ones more. You choose what to download.
