Maka is a local-first AI desktop assistant that does more than answer questions. With controlled permissions, it can inspect projects, execute tools, produce artifacts, and preserve model messages, tool calls, and durable-task progress as recoverable execution facts. Sessions, settings, and run records stay on your machine by default; you choose the model connection — a cloud API, a local model, or a compatible gateway. The same Runtime is available through the desktop app, terminal TUI, non-interactive CLI, and Headless runner.
What's new in 0.2.2-dev.101.20261026
Developer Snapshot 0.2.2-dev.101.20261026 This Desktop Nightly was built from da614305c981bcbe58ca9b67c5e343fb0e82e0ed for development and testing. It is not an Apache Release and has not been approved by an ASF release vote. The packaged applications carry the repository DISCLAIMER-WIP and Apache License 2.0 materials. They may be unstable and are not intended as a stable release for general users. Apache Maka is an effort undergoing incubation at The Apache Software Foundation (ASF), sponsored by the Apache Incubator PMC. Incubation is required of all newly accepted projects until a further review indicates that the infrastructure, communications, and decision-making process have stabilized in a manner consistent with other successful ASF projects. While incubation status is not necessarily a reflection of the completeness or stability of the code, it does indicate that the project has yet to be fully endorsed by the ASF. Some of the incubating project's releases may not be fully compliant with ASF policy. For example, releases may have incomplete or un-reviewed licensing conditions. What follows is a list of issues the project is currently aware of (this list is likely to be incomplete): - The initial-code authorization review remains open at https://github.com/apache/maka/issues/3268. Since 0.2.0 RC1, the ASF has recorded the ICLA of contributor Mingqwqqaq, and the Deep Research implementation has been removed. The review still needs to record the authorization basis for the retained initial code; these changes do not establish that an SGA has been filed. If you are planning to incorporate this work into your product/project, please be aware that you will need to conduct a thorough licensing review to determine the overall implications of including this work.
