System requirements & workstation specs

The toolkit itself is light — the one thing that drives a bigger machine is running the AI LOCALLY (Ollama). Cloud AI, or a model on your own server, keep the workstation at the minimum.

MINIMUM (runs every tool with cloud AI or no AI): 64-bit dual-core, 8 GB RAM, ~500 MB free disk, no GPU, a 1280x800 or larger display.

RECOMMENDED (daily use + local AI): quad-core, 16 GB RAM (32 GB to run a model locally), SSD 2 GB+ (plus 5-10 GB per local model), a GPU with 8 GB+ VRAM or Apple Silicon — only for local AI.

LOCAL AI (Ollama): a small 7-8B model is the floor; 32 GB+ runs a capable 14-32B model and a Posse sweep without swapping. Cloud AI (Anthropic/OpenAI/Gemini with your key) needs none of this — just internet and a key.

YOUR MACHINE: this page shows a live readout of this box (OS, CPU, RAM) with a colour-coded local-AI readiness verdict, so you can see at a glance where you land against the tiers above.

OPERATING SYSTEMS: Windows 10 (1809+) or 11 (64-bit), 64-bit Linux (Ubuntu 20.04+, Debian 11+, Fedora 38+), or macOS 14 Sonoma or later. The app bundles its own runtime — nothing else to install.

WHAT NEEDS INTERNET: the free tier needs none. Unlocking Pro is a one-time online sign-in (a free account); after that everything runs locally — only cloud AI and the internet tools (speed test, WHOIS, public IP) need ongoing internet. The download's README has the full per-OS setup, admin rights, optional dependencies, and ports.
