A local-first AI operator for your browser, files, shell, and Git

Atomic Agent is an open-source, local-first AI agent that runs on your own machine and can act through your browser, filesystem, shell, and Git. It uses local models by default, keeps sessions on disk, and pauses for approval on risky actions.

Agenticness = how independently a tool can take action, scored across 9 dimensions. Scored independently by David Kooi, Skylark Creations — see full rubric → Last re-evaluated 10 September 2026.
