Download
Download Vera.dmg from the latest GitHub release.
Open source MVP for macOS
Vera is a local-first personal agent for your day.
AIDE runs on your device, remembers your work across sessions, prepares your day, routes approvals, and proves the owner mesh concept across trusted devices without making one cloud service the center of control.
The installer is distributed through GitHub Releases. If the download
fails, open the latest release and download Vera.dmg.

What is in the MVP
One memory, one approval fabric, many trusted devices.
Your Day
A prepared operating view for calendar, unread email, pending approvals, and tasks.
Email and approvals
Read, search, draft, and send with approval gates on sensitive outbound actions.
Owner Mesh
Pair trusted devices, inspect trust, route approvals, and test delegated work.
M-Peer foundations
Early sovereign peer collaboration model: another person's AIDE is not your device.
Model routing
Run local-first with Ollama, or route selected work to Groq, Gemini, or OpenAI.
FinanceOS opt-in
Local finance tooling is available as an optional module, not the default MVP surface.
Privacy and control
Your agent should not require surrendering your day.
Vera is designed around owner control: local storage, explicit model keys, approval tiers, trusted device pairing, and revocable mesh trust. Telegram is optional but strongly recommended as a mobile owner console for approvals and delegated node work.
AIDE is licensed under AGPL-3.0. You can use, study, modify, and self-host it. If you run a modified network service for others, share the modified source under the same license.
First-run notes
If macOS blocks the app, open it intentionally.
Unidentified developer
This MVP build may not be notarized. If macOS blocks it, open System Settings, allow the app, then launch Vera again.
Local URL
Vera runs locally at http://localhost:3000. If setup
does not open automatically, paste that address into your browser.
Logs
Runtime logs live at ~/.aide/data/aide.log. They are
useful when checking model, mesh, email, or calendar setup.
