Zora is an open, local-first terminal with first-class AI and agent support. Plug in any AI provider, bring in any CLI agent, manage SSH hosts inside the terminal — with keys, history and agent state staying on your machine by default.
- No mandatory cloud — no account, login, Drive sync or cloud agent history required.
- BYOP AI providers — any OpenAI-compatible endpoint, plus native OpenAI / Anthropic / Gemini / DeepSeek / Ollama protocols. Keys stay local.
- Third-party CLI agents — DeepSeek-TUI / Codex CLI / Claude Code / Google Antigravity (
agy) wired into Blocks and the notification center. - Built-in SSH host manager — manage hosts, configs and sessions inside the terminal, with tmux integration.
- Built-in SFTP file browser — browse and manage remote files, multi-select entries, drag and drop uploads, and track or cancel file and directory transfers.
- Editable system prompts — minijinja templates rendered on the client.
- Rendering fixes — tuned Markdown pipeline; CJK soft-wrap caret and bold subpixel fixes.
- Localized UI — English / Simplified Chinese / Japanese out of the box, community-extensible.
- Privacy defaults — Cloud Agent / Computer Use / Referral / telemetry off by default.
From the repository root, use the platform-aware build wrapper:
make buildSet an explicit release version when preparing a release:
make build RELEASE_TAG=vYYYY.MM.DD.1To reclaim Cargo build-cache space, run:
make cleanmake clean runs cargo clean. It can free substantial disk space and forces the next build to recompile dependencies; it does not delete generated installers. Windows-specific installer prerequisites and manual troubleshooting instructions are in script/windows/README.md.
See docs/roadmap.md.
