Cognithor

Cognithor · Agent OS

A local-first, autonomous agent operating system for AI experimentation and personal automation.

Cognition + Thor — Intelligence with Power

18 LLM Providers · 18 Channels · 6-Tier Memory · Knowledge Vault · Security · Apache 2.0

Note: Cognithor is in active development (Beta). While the test suite is extensive (13,117 tests, 89% coverage), the project has not been battle-tested in production environments. Expect rough edges, breaking changes between versions, and some German-language strings in system prompts and error messages. Contributions, bug reports, and feedback are very welcome. See Status & Maturity for details. For non technical users, wait until version 1.0.0 for stable long term support.

Weekly Recap: Rank #1 | $1,644 spent vibe-engineering

Vibe-Engineered, not vibe-coded. Cognithor is not a weekend hack held together by AI-generated spaghetti. Every module follows a deliberate architecture (PGE-Trinity, 6-phase gateway init, 3-layer security), backed by 13,117 tests, structured plans, spec compliance reviews, and code quality gates. The AI writes the code — but a human engineers the system. There's a difference.

Why Cognithor?

Most AI assistants send your data to the cloud. Cognithor runs entirely on your machine — with Ollama or LM Studio, no API keys required. Cloud providers are optional, not mandatory.

It replaces a patchwork of tools with one integrated system: 18 channels, 125+ MCP tools, 6-tier memory, knowledge vault, voice, browser automation, Computer Use, and more — all wired together from day one. 13,117 tests at 89% coverage keep it honest. See Status & Maturity for what that does and does not guarantee.

In plain terms: Cognithor is an AI assistant that lives entirely on your computer. You talk to it through your terminal, a web UI, Telegram, Discord, or any of 18 supported channels — and it talks back, remembers what you said last week, and acts on your behalf. It can search the web, write and edit files, run shell commands, control your browser, automate your desktop (clicking, typing, reading windows), manage your calendar, and learn new skills over time. Think of it as a local, private, self-improving Jarvis.

Unlike cloud-based assistants, Cognithor keeps all your data on your machine. Your conversations, memories, documents, and credentials never leave your hardware unless you explicitly configure a cloud LLM provider. It works fully offline with Ollama or LM Studio, and it encrypts everything at rest with SQLCipher (AES-256). If privacy matters to you — and it should — this is the architecture you want.
