District AI for Linux

The native District AI app for the Linux desktop, in Rust with GTK 4 and libadwaita. The call log with each call's summary and transcript, the inbox with a reply written by AI when you ask, contacts and the rest of the workspace; and in a build with calls, as both packages are, a call handed to you rings on the desktop and the dialer places your own. Releases are on GitHub, as a .deb and a Flatpak.

Sign-in stays in your browser

The app never shows a password field. You sign in in your browser, which hands the result back through a districtai:// link, and your sign-in is kept in the desktop's keyring, or without one only until the app quits.

Held to the service's own answers

The repository carries responses recorded from the District AI service, and its tests decode every one with unknown fields refused. A field the server renames or adds fails the tests here rather than in the app.

Every package is attested

Each release is a .deb and a Flatpak with a signed attestation of the build, published only after the licensing of the call library's codecs was reviewed.

What is open source, and what is not

What is open source

This app, under Apache-2.0: you can read it, build it and change it. The District AI and Distronode names are Distronode's, and the app's icon is the Distronode mark, which the licence gives no permission to use.

The app reports no crashes: no crash-reporting library is among its dependencies, and its own code writes no log.

What is not

The District AI service the app talks to. Everything the app shows comes from that service, and using it needs a District AI account.

Without an account with us

Today the apps need a District AI account to sign in. We want them to work without an account with us too. We have not worked out what that looks like or whether it can work, and the answer depends on what people would use them with, so we are asking before we build anything.
