What is Kureksistant?

A headless Python daemon that runs as a systemd user service on Linux desktops; you summon it with a mouse middle-click, a hotkey, or the kurek CLI, and it listens, thinks, and answers out loud.

Where does Jev fit into Kurek?

Jev is optional triage over the Muse memory layer: it decides which memory entries get promoted to the durable core, while reasoning and tool dispatch run on DeepSeek-Flash.

What can it do on my desktop?

About two dozen tool modules cover Hyprland window control, apps and terminals, browser automation, files, the clipboard, screen vision, volume and brightness, alarms, git status, and memory.

How does it stay inside its memory budget?

The service runs with MemoryHigh=512M and MemoryMax=600M under systemd, heavy child jobs get their own systemd scopes, Chromium gets low-memory flags, and tool calls time out after 120 seconds.

Does it work on macOS?

A macOS menu-bar client exists but is less exercised; the project is built and tested first on Arch Linux with Omarchy and Hyprland, and the old PyQt6 GUI lives in legacy/ and is unsupported.

Which API keys does it need?

DEEPSEEK_API_KEY and XAI_API_KEY are required, GEMINI_API_KEY is optional for screen vision, and DEEPGRAM_API_KEY is optional for speech-to-text with a local faster-whisper fallback.

Can I drive it from my phone?

Yes, opt-in over Tailscale: build the Android app from android/, set KUREK_REMOTE_BIND=tailscale and a 32-plus character bearer token, and remote prompts stay silent on the PC unless you opt in per request.

Highlights

Summoned by middle-click, hotkey, or the kurek CLI; reasons with DeepSeek-Flash and speaks through xAI Grok TTS voice Sol.
Runs under a 600M systemd memory limit with heavy child jobs moved into their own scopes, and tool calls time out at 120 s.
Memory is SQLite in WAL mode with an FTS5 index, auto-importing the legacy JSON file and falling back to plain word matching.
Optional TypeSafe Jev triage decides which Muse memory entries are promoted to the durable core.
An opt-in Tailscale remote streams replies from an Android app built from android/, silent on the PC by default.

Watch out

GitHub reports the license as NOASSERTION while the README badge says CC BY-NC 4.0, so check terms before commercial use. It is built for Arch/Omarchy/Hyprland first, the macOS client is less exercised, and the legacy PyQt6 GUI is unsupported.

Kernel-enforced runtime security for AI agents with eBPF/LSM: policy decides file, exec, package-install and MCP operations at the syscall, while Jev can run as an optional checks provider whose verdict can only raise severity. The Jev checks layer is off by default.
