Build and change software
Ask an agent to inspect a project, make changes, and explain what it did.
Contenox · AI coding agent
Build software with AI agents. Explore a project, plan a change, run the work, and inspect the result — all in one desktop application.
Ask an agent to inspect a project, make changes, and explain what it did.
Inspect execution, tools, and decisions rather than treating the agent as a black box.
Connect local or hosted models and manage them through one application.
The harness
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
An open-source, vendor-neutral workspace for AI-assisted engineering. No subscription. No hosted service.
Also for Linux .rpm macOS .zip Windows .zip
Every installer is covered by SHA256SUMS and its detached GPG signature.
gpg --import contenox-release.asc
gpg --verify SHA256SUMS.asc SHA256SUMS
sha256sum -c SHA256SUMS
On macOS: shasum -a 256 -c SHA256SUMS
The foundation
Open source, local, and policy-enforced by default. You decide what an agent can read, run, and change before it acts.
