Selene — Local Agent Desktop (Offline-Ready)

Main

• Start with the release build: README says one download with no prerequisites and that Selene bundles Electron + tooling.

• Use multi-provider routing intentionally: README lists many providers (Anthropic/OpenAI/OpenRouter/Ollama/vLLM, etc.), so define a default and only override per task.

• Keep context lean: README describes a retrieval pipeline before the main agent to reduce re-reading and per-turn cost.

• For debugging, use the developer workflow: npm install + npm run electron:dev is the documented entrypoint.

Source-backed notes

• README states Selene bundles Electron 41 (Chrome 146 / Node 24) and ships a larger app to avoid separate installs.
• README lists themes and UI options: 8 color themes and 50 wallpapers (20 live).
• README documents developer setup: npm install then npm run electron:dev, plus build commands for Windows/macOS.

FAQ

• Can I run fully offline?: README says you can pick local vs cloud per subsystem and run fully offline depending on your setup.
• What’s the fastest way to try it?: Download the latest signed installer/DMG from GitHub Releases (README).
• How do I run it from source?: Use npm install then npm run electron:dev as documented in README.
