Klepai by CrystalPlatforms

Klepai is a private, self-hosted LLM manager: a desktop chat app for macOS, Windows and Linux that connects to your own model servers over the LAN.

• Ollama first-class + any OpenAI-compatible endpoint
• Rich chat: streaming, markdown, code blocks, thinking blocks
• Agent mode: your server models code in a project folder through built-in tools, with Claude Code and Codex CLI as ready-made extra brains
• Everything local: SQLite, no accounts, no telemetry

Status: Klepai Alpha v.0.0.1 (released) · see PRD.md

Updates

Update bundles are signature-verified against GitHub Releases: the app ships with the public key in app/src-tauri/tauri.conf.json (plugins.updater.pubkey), and release artifacts are signed with the matching private key at build time.

Maintainer setup (done once, 2026-10-24):

1. Keypair generated with npx tauri signer generate -w ~/.tauri/klepai.key (no password). The private key lives OUTSIDE the repository, so never commit it.

2. If CI ever builds releases, store the contents of ~/.tauri/klepai.key as the repository secrets TAURI_SIGNING_PRIVATE_KEY and TAURI_SIGNING_PRIVATE_KEY_PASSWORD (empty).

3. Local release builds need no setup: the tauri npm script in app/ wires the key automatically:

   npm run tauri build
   

Losing the private key means published installs can never update in place; a new key needs a fresh install. Until a signed release ships a latest.json asset, Check for updates in About simply reports Klepai as up to date. That is the expected pre-release state, not a bug.
