About Quests
Our Mission
Quests is an open-source application builder that empowers anyone to create software using AI. We believe that building apps should be accessible to everyone, not just professional developers.
By combining the power of modern AI language models with a local-first approach, we're making it possible for people to build the tools they need without compromising on privacy or control.
Why We Built Quests
The software development landscape is changing rapidly. AI coding assistants have made it easier than ever to write code, but most solutions require you to:
- Send your code to cloud services
- Use complex development tools and terminals
- Understand intricate build systems and dependencies
- Pay for expensive cloud infrastructure
We created Quests to solve these problems. Your apps run locally, your code stays private, and you don't need to be a developer to get started.
Core Principles
🔒 Privacy First
Your projects and code stay on your computer. When you use your own API keys, they're stored locally and never sent to our servers.
🌐 Open Source
Quests is licensed under Apache 2.0. You can inspect the code, contribute improvements, and even fork the project for your own needs.
💻 Local First
Applications run on your computer, not in the cloud. This means faster performance, better privacy, and no vendor lock-in.
🎯 User Friendly
No terminal required. No complex setup. Just download, install, and start building.
Technology
Quests is built on proven open-source technologies:
- Electron: Cross-platform desktop framework
- React & Vite: Modern web development for your apps
- Hono & oRPC: Type-safe backend development
- Multiple AI Providers: OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and 20+ more
The apps you build with Quests use these same technologies, making them easy to export and deploy anywhere.
Open Source Community
Quests is developed in the open with contributions from developers around the world. We welcome:
- Bug reports and feature requests
- Code contributions and pull requests
- Documentation improvements
- Community support and discussions
Visit our GitHub repository to get involved.
Sustainability
While Quests is free and open-source, we offer optional managed AI inference services to make it easier to get started. Revenue from subscriptions helps us:
- Maintain and improve the application
- Provide infrastructure for managed services
- Support the open-source community
- Keep the project sustainable long-term
You can always use Quests completely free by bringing your own API keys from any supported provider.
