Hi HN, I’m Amariah, the creator of Atlarix.
I built Atlarix because I wanted the agentic power of tools like Lovable/Windsurf but without the cloud lock-in or privacy trade-offs. I wanted an AI that actually lives on my machine, understands my local dev environment, and lets me control the models I use.
What makes it different:
Native & Local-First: It’s a standalone desktop app (Electron + Rust/Node), not a VS Code extension. It has direct control over your terminal, file system, and browser to run agentic loops (scaffold -> run -> debug -> fix).
BYOK (Bring Your Own Keys): Complete sovereignty. Use OpenRouter or run local models via Ollama/LM Studio completely offline.
"Lovable-style" Live Previews: It spins up dev servers (Vite, Next.js, Python, Go) and gives you a live, interactive preview and a diagram that the AI can see and debug in real-time.
Agentic Workflow: It doesn't just write code; it runs commands, reads build errors from the terminal, and auto-fixes issues without you copy-pasting stack traces.
Tech Stack:
Frontend: React, Tailwind, Framer Motion
Backend: Electron (Main Process), SQLite (Local Vector DB for RAG)
Agent: TypeScript-based agentic loop with tool use (57+ tools for file ops, searching, terminal control)
It’s currently v1.0. Would love to hear your feedback on the agentic workflow vs. standard chat assistants!
