Download Aura Terran

Aura Terran is a local desktop app that turns your files into a searchable knowledge base and serves that context to AI tools through OpenAI- and Ollama-compatible passthrough, Management REST, and inbound MCP — without uploading your corpus to the cloud or rebuilding retrieval for every client. Download, drag in a folder, and search in minutes — no Docker, cloud upload, or API keys required.
