Hydron app
Your home base for local AI. Chat with a model running on your PC or with a connected coding agent, and keep related conversations together in Projects.
Your models.
Your machine.
Hydron is a desktop workspace for local AI. Run models on your PC, launch the coding agents you already use, and build in one focused app.
Hydron is a local-first AI workspace that brings your models, your coding agents, and your code together on your own machine.
Launch
See every supported agent on your PC — Codex, Claude Code, OpenCode, Copilot CLI and more — alongside Hydron's own local model engine, and chat with or remove the models you've installed.
Model Shop
Install any GGUF model from Hugging Face, the Ollama library or a direct link. Search, pick from Hydron's verified picks, and every download is checked against the SHA-256 its source publishes.
Skills
62 installable skills — with more on the way — that change how the model writes, thinks and codes. Switch each one on or off; they apply to the main chat, the side chat and the CLI.
Hydron CLI
Type hydron in any shell and tell it what to work on. Switch modes with Shift+Tab, attach files with @, run shell commands with !, and see every command with /.
Hydron IDE
Open a folder and edit beside your agents. Press Ctrl+I for Ask Hydron, a side chat where Ion explains your project, finds bugs or adds tests — you approve every edit. Switch to VS Code for your extensions, and run with F5.
Built for developers
who want control.
Whether you care most about privacy, already live in a coding agent, or just want to learn, Hydron keeps the models and the code on your machine.
Privacy-first developer
Local model conversations never leave your PC. No account, no telemetry, no Hydron cloud.
How Hydron handles dataAgent power user
