Introducing RUNE.

Code with AI, entirely local

Today we are releasing Rune—a command-line coding assistant that brings SAGEA's powerful SAGE models to your local machine. Rune allows you to use natural language to explore, modify, and interact with your projects through a comprehensive toolset, all running privately on your own hardware.

Rune uses Ollama as the local runtime to execute SAGE models efficiently. Your code never leaves your computer.

Installation

Getting started with Rune takes a single command. The installer detects your platform and architecture, downloads the latest binary, and sets everything up automatically.

What Rune can do

Rune is built for real development workflows. It can read, write, and patch files, execute shell commands, search your codebase recursively, manage task lists, ask you clarifying questions, and even delegate work to subagents—all from a single interactive chat prompt.

It automatically scans your project's file structure and Git status to provide relevant context, and ships with multiple built-in agent profiles tailored for different workflows: planning, code refactoring, or fully autonomous execution.
