Quick Start

Platform: macOS 14+ on Apple Silicon (M-series). This fork targets native Metal GPU serving — not Linux, Windows, or Intel Macs.

dev is the default branch and gets the newest changes first. Use main if you want the more curated branch.

git clone https://github.com/pewdiepie-archdaemon/odysseus.git
cd odysseus
cp .env.example .env   # optional — defaults work for local dev
./start-macos.sh

Opens at http://127.0.0.1:7860 (port 7860 avoids macOS AirPlay on 7000). The first admin password is printed during setup.

Optional CPU-only Docker, HTTPS, Tailscale, and full configuration: setup guide.

Features

• Chat + Agents — local/API models, tools, MCP, files, shell, skills, and memory.
• Cookbook — hardware-aware model recommendations, downloads, and serving.
• Deep Research — multi-step web research with source reading and report generation.
• Compare — blind side-by-side model testing and synthesis.
• Documents — writing-first editor with AI edits, suggestions, Markdown, HTML, CSV, and syntax highlighting.
• Email — IMAP/SMTP inbox with triage, tags, summaries, reminders, and reply drafts.
• Notes, Tasks + Calendar — reminders, todos, scheduled agent tasks, and CalDAV sync.
• Extras — gallery/image editor, themes, uploads, web search, presets, sessions, and 2FA.

Contributing

Help is welcome. The best entry points are fresh-install testing, provider setup bugs, mobile/editor polish, docs, and small focused refactors. See CONTRIBUTING.md and ROADMAP.md.

Security

Odysseus is a self-hosted workspace with powerful local tools. Keep auth enabled, keep private data out of Git, and do not expose raw model/service ports publicly. Deployment details are in the setup guide.
