Enkstein open-sources a local control plane for Codex, Claude, Gemini, and Ollama
Enkstein is a self-hosted desktop workspace designed to govern the AI tools you already use rather than replace them. It sits in front of Chat, Cowork, and Security workflows and adds:
- policy-aware routing
- local-only handling for sensitive work
- project-scoped file access
- approval gates for consequential actions
- an audit trail showing model, policy outcome, redactions, and files changed
What it supports today
- Codex, Claude, browser companions, APIs, and local Ollama models from one workspace
- keeping restricted work local instead of sending it to a cloud model
- letting AI propose changes and applying them only inside an approved folder
- security missions, connector-based assessments, and governed remediation workflows
It is MIT licensed, still in early preview, and currently requires Docker Desktop for the local runtime. Ollama is optional.
