FAQ

Is Youkore open source?

The core is open source on GitHub. Some paid plugins are closed source (compiled binaries, online license check).

Does it work offline?

The backend works fully offline if you use a local LLM (Ollama, LM Studio). Cloud LLMs (OpenAI, Anthropic, …) need internet. The plugin store and updates also need internet.

Does my data go to your servers?

No. The backend runs on your PC, the database is local. The only outbound calls are: AI provider you configured, integrations you wired up, and (optionally) the Youkore cloud account for invites and updates.

Why does Windows say "Unknown app"?

Microsoft Authenticode signing is on its way. For now, the installer is unsigned and SmartScreen warns. Click More info → Run anyway. The signing for the installer's contents (Youkore itself) is already in place — different mechanism.

Can I run it on a server / NAS?

Yes — backend is headless-capable. Connect with the Flutter client from another machine on your tailnet. Mac/Linux versions are coming.

How much does it cost?

Youkore itself is free. You pay your AI provider for API calls. Some advanced plugins may be paid.

How do I reset everything?

Delete ~/.youkore/ (your data) and %LOCALAPPDATA%/Youkore/ (browser profile and caches). Reinstall.
