Try the pre-alpha

Ogun 0.0.1a is a pre-alpha: the runtime works end to end, much of the product is still being built, and things will change. Try it in the browser on sample data, or download it for Windows or Linux.

Pre-alpha release. Release 0.0.1a is a pre-alpha: Ogun Studio for Windows and Linux, the ogun command line and the ogund daemon, and a hosted hub on sample data that anyone can try. The runtime passed its first exit test on Linux in October 2026 (a partitioned backfill and a stream window survive kill -9 of the daemon and resume only the unfinished work). Code operators, remote approvals, mobile builds and most connectors are not ready yet. See the roadmap.

Try it in the browser

The hosted hub runs Ogun Studio on the real daemon with sample workflows: runs, partitions, backfills, approvals, artifacts and lineage, and an agent that reads the daemon for you. Its sign-in page shows a shared sample account.

Shared by every visitor and reset every night at 03:00 UTC, so do not enter anything private. The agent's replies are prepared (no model is called) while its tool calls read the real daemon. Code operators do not run there, and approvals are decided only at the host's terminal.

Download

Ogun 0.0.1a (pre-alpha), released 2026-10-25. The desktop Studio opens on the hosted hub; Settings, Environments switches it to ogund on your own machine.

macOS: planned

No macOS build yet. Use it in the browser meanwhile.

To verify a file, compare its hash with the line in SHA256SUMS: certutil -hashfile <file> SHA256 on Windows, sha256sum <file> on Linux.

The builds are not signed yet, so Windows SmartScreen may warn before the first run: choose More info, then Run anyway.

  • Windows: run the installer, or unzip the portable build and start ogun-studio.exe.
  • Linux: make the AppImage executable (chmod +x) and run it, or install the .deb with sudo apt install ./ogun-studio-0.0.1a-linux-x64.deb.
  • ogun and ogund: the command line and the daemon. Start ogund, then ogun daemon status. On Windows, code operators need allow_unsandboxed and terminal approvals are not available yet.

What you need

  • Windows 10 or 11 x64, or Linux x64 with glibc 2.35 or later, for release 0.0.1a. macOS builds are planned (O-12)
  • The tools your operators wrap (DuckDB, pdftotext, Tesseract, dbt, Python and so on) installed where ogund runs, or in an image that provides them: the release does not bundle them
  • On Linux, bubblewrap for code operators. Windows has no operator sandbox yet
  • Docker or podman for the benchmark profile (on Windows, Docker or WSL 2)
  • Optionally, the Zeus app, for sources behind a browser login
  • Optionally, a model provider of your choice, for LLM operators
