Package Exports

opengauge
opengauge/dist/server/index.js

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (opengauge) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

OpenGauge

A local-first, token-efficient LLM chat interface.

If you just want to use it, you only need one command:

npx opengauge

What this repo does

OpenGauge runs a local web chat app with:

Token optimization (compression + deduplication + checkpoints)
Context retrieval from conversation history (RAG-style)
Multiple providers: Anthropic, OpenAI, Gemini, Ollama
Local storage in SQLite at ~/.opengauge/opengauge.db

Use via npx (recommended)

npx opengauge

You do not need to install OpenGauge globally first. npx will download the package (if not already cached) and run it. On first run, it may take a little longer while it fetches the package.

This starts a local server and opens the app in your browser.

Default URL:

http://localhost:3000

If port 3000 is busy:

npx opengauge --port 3001

First-time setup

When the app opens, configure your provider in the UI wizard, or create:

~/.opengauge/config.yml

Example:

providers:
  anthropic:
    api_key: YOUR_API_KEY
    default_model: claude-opus-4-6

defaults:
  provider: anthropic

Developer setup (from source)

git clone https://github.com/applytorque/opengauge.git
cd opengauge
npm install
npm run build
npm start

Useful commands

npm run build        # Compile TypeScript + copy UI assets
npm start            # Run CLI entry locally
npm pack --dry-run   # Preview npm package contents
