What is Joanium?
Joanium is a local-first AI desktop app that goes beyond chat. It reads your project files, runs automations on a schedule, operates background agents, and connects natively to GitHub, Gmail, Google Drive, and Calendar, all without sending your data to the cloud. Supports 10+ AI providers including Gemini, Claude, and GPT. Your data stays on your machine. Always.

- Developers can customize providers, prompts, workflows, and integrations without lock-in.

Questions & Answers
Have a question?
Very interesting. I noticed that Joanium is labeled as a "Free" to use product. Don't I need to pay for Claude tokens if I build with Claude?
Great question! Joanium itself is free and open-source. However, if you choose to use commercial models like Claude or GPT through their APIs, you'll need your own API key and will be billed by the model provider. You can also use free/local models if you don't want any token costs.
