AI product Open source
AI Manager is a local-first desktop application for installing, updating, configuring, and repairing AI coding command-line tools on a user's computer. It provides a single interface for checking installed tools, managing versions, connecting tools to reviewed or custom HTTPS AI-service endpoints, and viewing the effective endpoint and environment-variable overrides without editing shell profiles or PATH files.
Its sidebar includes software management, API endpoints, skills, MCP connections, global prompts, sessions, and settings. It installs skills from trusted GitHub catalogues or local ZIP files, supports stdio, HTTP, and SSE MCP servers, and searches local coding-tool sessions that can be resumed in a terminal. Tool behavior is controlled by a capability registry, and the application uses local signals for checks rather than claiming a process is healthy without evidence.
The application is built with Tauri 2 and React 18 and is released under the GNU AGPL-3.0-or-later. It has no analytics or telemetry SDK, stores product data locally, and offers signed update verification and platform-specific installers. Provider credentials are currently stored in plaintext in the local database, backups, and SQL configuration exports. AI Manager began as a fork of CC Switch, with inherited portions retaining their original MIT licensing.
