HashCortx v2.0.0 —Privacy Agentic App

[Hash-7777]

HashCortx v2.0.0 — Local-first AI coding agents app

Your terminal. Your agents. Your code.

100% local · zero cloud · your keys · your data

API keys live in your OS keychain. Files never leave your machine. No telemetry, no backend, no "us" in the middle — every request goes device → provider → back. Works air-gapped with local models via Ollama or LM Studio.

What's inside

11 modes, one app

• Chats — multi-provider chat (Groq, Gemini, OpenAI, Anthropic, Cerebras, SambaNova, DeepSeek, Moonshot, Mistral, Ollama) with projects, file attachments, and slash commands
• Agents — 9 pre-built specialists: Personal Assistant, Quick Assistant, Research Agent, Deep Research, Senior Engineer, Page Analyzer, PubMed Agent, Drug Interaction, ATS CV Auditor
• Code (HashCoder) — full coding agent with real file tools, dedicated file tree, project picker, separate chat history, and an auto-router that falls through up to 10 providers if one rate-limits mid-session
• Split — side-by-side model comparison in real time
• 3D Forge — architecture-first 3D planning agent with structured node/mesh plans
• Finance AI — full-screen analysis studio for bank statements / CSV / PDF / XLSX. KPIs, charts, recommendations. Never invents numbers
• Sandbox — swarm-powered security scanner for malware patterns, trojans, and prompt injections in untrusted code
• ERP (Systems Builder) — describe a workflow, get an interactive prototype with forms, tables, and dashboards
• Agent Swarm — design multi-agent pipelines with voting mode and chain mode
• Virtual OS — simulated project desktop where AI builds and iterates on a file tree
• Agent Maker — build your own custom agents (name, icon, prompt, tools) without code

Security & trust

• OS Keychain integration — API keys via macOS Keychain, never on disk in plaintext
• Permission Guard — denylist-based filesystem and shell gatekeeper; every native call is intercepted
• Audit Log — every guarded action is recorded and viewable in Settings
• Source-grounded modes — PubMed Agent, Drug Interaction, and Finance AI are constrained to never fabricate data

Engineering

• 8.9 MB DMG — for comparison, Electron-based AI desktop apps typically ship at 100–300 MB. Native Tauri webview, no bundled Chromium
• Tauri v2 (Rust + native webview) — small, fast, native
• Browser-compatible core — the same modules run in a plain browser as a fallback
• Modular architecture: Canvas and Sandbox extracted as standalone modules; more extraction in flight
• JetBrains/Berkeley Mono throughout, terminal-green (#39ff81) palette, custom drag-handle title bar

Install (macOS, Apple Silicon)

Download HashCortx_2.0.0_aarch64.dmg below.

⚠️ Unsigned build. macOS Gatekeeper will block it on first launch.
Right-click the app → Open → Open, or run:

xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/HashCortx.app

Add your API keys in Settings → Providers. You only need keys for the providers you want to use — or skip them entirely and run local models via Ollama.

Keyboard shortcut: ⌘ + Shift + N starts a new chat from anywhere.

Known limitations

• Apple Silicon only (no Intel / Windows / Linux build in this release)
• Not code-signed — Gatekeeper warning on first launch (see Install above)
• Some legacy modules (Memory/RAG, model utils) still live in the main app.js bundle — extraction is in progress
