💸 Pricing & DIY Install

Husk is a paid app on the App Store, which helps support me as an independent developer. By purchasing it, you're directly contributing to the ongoing development, maintenance, and improvements of Husk — thank you!

That said, Husk is also fully open-source, so if you prefer, you're welcome to compile and install it yourself for free.

🛠️ Build It Yourself (Free Option)

If you'd rather not purchase Husk from the App Store, here's how you can install it manually:

1. Clone the Repository

   git clone https://github.com/Nathan1258/Husk.git
   cd Husk
   

2. Open in Xcode
   Open the Husk.xcodeproj file in Xcode.

3. Set Your Team

   • Go to the project settings in Xcode.
   • Under Signing & Capabilities, set your Apple Developer account (a free account works for personal builds).

4. Build & Run

   • Select your iOS device as the target.
   • Hit Run (⌘R) to build and install the app on your device.

⚠️ You may need to trust your developer certificate on the device under Settings → General → Device Management before launching the app.

This option gives you full access to Husk at no cost, and allows you to explore or contribute to the project freely.

🔒 Privacy

Husk is designed with privacy as a top priority. All your data stays private and secure:

• Offline-first: Husk operates fully offline when using Ollama, so your data never leaves your device unless you explicitly choose to sync.
• Optional iCloud Sync: You can opt in to sync your chat history securely via iCloud, protected by Apple’s end-to-end encryption.
• No data collection: Husk does not collect or transmit any personal data to third parties.
• API key support: When using external APIs (coming soon), your API keys and data are handled securely and only sent to the respective providers.

Your privacy and control over your data are fundamental principles behind Husk.
