OpenThunder Desktop
OpenThunder Desktop is the free desktop app for macOS, Windows, and Linux. It bundles the local engine and the CLI in one download, so everything , understanding, analysis, and verification , runs on your machine. No account is required.
Install
Download it from openthunder.dev and open it like any desktop app. One file; nothing to configure to start.
What it gives you
- Build and verify in one place , open any project folder and OpenThunder maps it locally; run scans, missions, and change verification with a live Evidence panel behind every verdict.
- The Lenses , Architecture, Security (including AI security), and Code Health, all keyless.
- An intelligent terminal , run commands in a real terminal that understands the repo around them.
- Agent integration , install the MCP server into Claude Code / Cursor / Codex, and generate AI Context Packs, from the app.
Local-first by default
The app runs a loopback-only local server; your source stays on your machine unless you explicitly opt into the Cloud, a third-party AI provider, or an export. See the Trust Center and Privacy FAQ.
