Get Astra

One command installs the full sovereign stack to ~/.astra/ — no accounts, no telemetry, nothing leaves your machine.

Manual / Air-gapped

git clone https://github.com/open-veil/open-veil ~/.astra/platform && cd ~/.astra/platform && python3 run.py

After install, run astra from any terminal. The platform starts at localhost:5001 and is never exposed to the internet unless you opt in.

What is Astra?

Astra is a fully local, sovereign AI operating system. It runs entirely on your hardware — no cloud, no subscriptions, no API keys required. Your data stays yours.

Open-Veil is the platform layer: a sovereign domain, app store, search engine, and development hub. Think of it as a personal Steam for AI-native applications, distributed peer-to-peer with no central authority.

Goals

Sovereignty. You own the compute, the data, and the intelligence. Astra never dials home.

Living intelligence. Astra's brain accumulates knowledge across sessions using a fractal node graph — it grows the more you use it, with no context window limits.

Open ecosystem. Apps are signed bundles distributed via GitPro. Anyone can publish; anyone can install. DMCA safe harbor applies.

Mesh-ready. Peer-to-peer sync, distributed compute volunteering, and Tor-native routing are all built in — no account required.
