## Intro

An agent-first desktop app that runs locally, supports multiple providers, and ships its own tool stack; verified 166★, pushed 2026-05-13.

**Best for:** Developers who want a single local desktop hub for agents, tools, and multi-provider routing

**Works with:** Desktop builds via GitHub Releases; dev setup uses Node and `npm run electron:dev` (README)

**Setup time:** 6-15 minutes

### Key facts (verified)

- GitHub: 166 stars · 34 forks · pushed 2026-05-13.
- License: MIT · owner avatar + repo URL verified via GitHub API.
- README-backed entrypoint: `npm run electron:dev`.

## 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.
