#### Private, on-device open-source AI workbench chat, coding agent, image studio

**Box** is a private open-source local AI workbench for the Linux desktop. Chat with text, images and audio, let a coding agent work on your projects, generate and edit images, and ask questions about your own documents , all on your own machine. No account, no telemetry: models download once, then run offline, you can also import models downloaded from huggingface.

**Two inference engines**

* Google's LiteRT-LM runs Gemma .litertlm models with vision, audio and native tool calling
* A bundled llama.cpp engine (CPU and Vulkan) runs GGUF models such as Gemma QAT and Qwen coders
* A built-in model hub downloads checksum-verified models in one click

**Box Code — a local coding agent**

Point it at a project folder and give it tasks. It explores, edits with exact-match patches, runs commands in a sandboxed shell with no network, and keeps a todo list. Choose Ask mode to approve each risky action, or Auto mode to let it work.

**Image Studio**

* Generate with Z-Image Turbo, FLUX.2-klein and Stable Diffusion 1.5 / 2.1
* img2img, inpainting with a paintable mask, hires fix and LoRA
* Erase objects with MI-GAN and upscale 4× with EDSR

**Everything else**

* Document Q&A: attach PDFs, Markdown or code; answers cite their sources. Notebooks keep reusable document collections
* Agent mode with web search (DuckDuckGo, no API key) and workspace file tools
* Audits of logs and configs, even ones larger than the context window
* Hands-free voice conversation with Piper text-to-speech
* Live camera vision
* Persistent memory you can review and delete
* Markdown, LaTeX and syntax-highlighted code in chat
* 52 themes, Glass and Liquid Glass modes, and 80 bundled fonts

**You decide what runs, kill switches built in**

Every capability starts switched off. Tools that touch your machine ask first, and file writes always ask. Inference servers run kernel-sandboxed with Landlock, inside the snap's own confinement, with no outbound network. App Lock protects the whole app behind a passphrase.

**Optional permissions**

Camera, PipeWire and external drives aren't connected automatically:

```
 sudo snap connect box-linux:camera
 sudo snap connect box-linux:pipewire
 sudo snap connect box-linux:removable-media
```

Note: Box Code's shell can only use the tools bundled in the snap, not compilers installed on your system. For full Box Code use, install the .deb from GitHub.
