Early access opens Tuesday

On Tuesday, June 23, we open the door. Early access is your first chance to run Renegade on your own machine, free and open-source, the way it will always be.

Join the early-access list and we'll send the download the moment it goes live. No account, no kill-switch, no one to ask.

Online models, wired in

The last piece is in place. Bring your own key for GPT-5.5, Claude Opus 4.8, or Gemini 2.5 Pro, and switch between them and your local models in a single click.

Your keys and your conversations stay on your machine. Always.

Open models, running in a few clicks

Running your own AI used to mean a terminal and a lost afternoon. We finished the part that makes all of that disappear: pick a model, click, and start chatting.

Renegade leans on Ollama under the hood, and you never have to touch it.

We trained our own model: meet Sigmo

We didn't want to depend on anyone else's model, so we built our own. Sigmo is trained, tested, and ready.

It runs entirely on your machine: private, offline, and capable enough for real work. No cloud, no key, no permission needed.

Renegade is built

The hard part is done. Renegade is a fast, familiar chat app that feels like the tools you already use, except the intelligence lives on your machine instead of someone else's cloud.

Switch between models, connect the tools you already rely on, and keep every conversation entirely your own.

Get early access.
