Incognide unifies chat, code, documents, web browsing, and media into a single, tileable workspace, aiming to eliminate distractions and context switching for developers, researchers, and power users. It offers a structured, auto-saving environment with composable automations and AI agent capabilities, allowing users to seamlessly manage complex projects and workflows.

How It Works

Incognide employs an Electron + React frontend with a Python Flask backend (npcpy). Its core design features a path-based organization and auto-saving workspaces. It integrates diverse tools like code editors, PDF viewers/annotators, web browsers, and terminals, all within a composable, tileable interface. A key differentiator is its AI agent system, which can interact with these tools, execute workflows (Jinxs) combining natural language and code, and manage context. Users can configure local or cloud-based AI models and fine-tune models directly within the application.

Quick Start & Requirements

• Primary install / run command: Download the installer for Linux, macOS, or Windows from enpisi.com/incognide.
• Non-default prerequisites and dependencies: For local models: Ollama, LM Studio, or a llama.cpp server. For cloud models: API keys for OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, etc. For development setup: Node.js 16+ and npm.
• Links: Installer: enpisi.com/incognide. Community: Discord (link not provided in README, but implied). Issues/Discussions: GitHub Issues/Discussions.

Highlighted Details

• Unified workspace integrating chat, code editing, document management (DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, PDF), web browsing, and terminals.
• AI agents capable of tool use, including browser automation, file operations, and terminal command execution.
• Built-in support for fine-tuning custom image (LoRA) and text models using curated data from conversations and memories, with a focus on local training.
• Composable automation workflows (Jinxs) that chain natural language prompts with code execution, including database querying and agent integration.
• Cloud sync with end-to-end encryption for workspace state, conversations, and settings across multiple devices.

Maintenance & Community

The project maintains an active community via GitHub Issues and Discussions. It is part of a broader "NPC Ecosystem" including npcpy, npcsh, and npcts. A Discord community link is implied but not directly provided in the README.

Licensing & Compatibility

Incognide is licensed under AGPLv3 with additional terms that prohibit third-party SaaS services and packaged resale. The AGPLv3 license is copyleft, meaning derivative works must also be open-sourced under the same license. The additional terms may restrict commercial use, particularly for service providers or those intending to bundle the software.

Limitations & Caveats

The AGPLv3 license and its additional terms impose significant restrictions on commercial use and distribution, potentially limiting adoption in closed-source or SaaS environments. A "Demo Video Updated version coming soon" note suggests the project may be under active, potentially breaking, development. macOS users require specific permissions for voice input and screenshot features.
