The team behind Rune has announced that the app is now fully open source. Rune lets end users invoke AI capabilities locally and turn frequent AI operations into quick shortcuts.
Going open source means users can audit the code, self-host, and contribute; the team explains its motivation and maintenance plans in the announcement blog post.
