Contenox Harness
What will you make?
A desktop app for demanding work — and the people accountable for it.
The harness
Your machine. Your models. Your policy.
Software engineering was never about syntax. AI changed how we build software; our tools didn’t.
Contenox is an open-source, vendor-neutral desktop app for AI-assisted work. You choose the model and provider. You write the rules, and they are enforced before an agent acts. It starts with software engineering. Sessions, approvals, and run history stay on your machine.
Install
