NorthStarWay

Your personal life-architecture system — a local-first AI navigator that runs on your own machine and your own AI subscription.

Most Macs from 2020 onward are Apple Silicon.

Mac first launch: drag NorthStarWay into your Applications folder, then open it normally from Finder. The Mac builds are signed, notarized, and stapled.

Choose Apple Silicon for M-series Macs, or Intel for older Intel Macs.

Windows: this private beta build is not code-signed yet. If Windows shows “Windows protected your PC,” click More infoRun anyway. After choosing your vault folder, give the system about 45 seconds to start. If it does not open automatically, launch NorthStarWay again from your Start menu / Programs.

Linux: download the AppImage, make it executable, then run it. Example: chmod +x NorthStarWay-latest-x86_64.AppImage

You’ll need your own AI subscription (ChatGPT Plus/Pro, Claude, or an OpenRouter key) — the app walks you through connecting it on first run.
