Autonomous multi-session AI coding
Autonomous multi-agent coding framework that plans, builds, and validates software for you.
Aperant is alive and under active development — it is not abandoned.
We're rebuilding the entire app from the ground up for Aperant 3.0, which adds cloud features on top of the local desktop experience. Aperant 3.0 will stay fully open source under AGPL-3.0.
Why this repo looks quiet: most of the 3.0 work is happening in a separate development repository right now and will be merged back here once it's ready. So even though commits look sparse on the surface, the project is very much alive and moving fast behind the scenes.
What this means today:
- 🛠️ The current 2.x desktop app is in maintenance mode — it's stable and usable, but new development is going into 3.0.
- 🚫 Pull requests are paused. Because the codebase is being rebuilt from scratch, code PRs against the current app can't be merged and will be closed. Please hold off on opening them for now.
- 💬 We still want your input. Open an issue, start a discussion, or join our Discord to report bugs and help shape what 3.0 becomes.
No public release date yet — ⭐ star and watch the repo (or join Discord) to follow progress.
🛠️ These are 2.x maintenance builds. They're stable and fully usable today, but active development has moved to Aperant 3.0 (see status above). Expect critical fixes here rather than new features.

Aperant uses a three-layer security model:
All releases are:
npm run install:all
Install all dependencies
npm start
Build and run the desktop app
npm run dev
Run in development mode with hot reload
npm run package
Package for current platform
npm run package:mac
Package for macOS
npm run package:win
Package for Windows
npm run package:linux
Package for Linux
npm run package:flatpak
Package as Flatpak (see guides/linux.md)
npm run lint
Run linter
npm test
Run frontend tests
🚫 Pull requests are paused while we rebuild for Aperant 3.0. The current codebase is being replaced from the ground up, so code PRs against it can't be merged and will be closed. This is temporary — contribution will reopen once the 3.0 foundation lands.
You can still help shape Aperant right now:
When contributions reopen, CONTRIBUTING.md covers development setup, code style, testing, and the pull request process.
