Getting started (from source)

This is the build-it-yourself path. It runs Voyalier in your browser and works on any operating system, which makes it the right route for Intel Macs and Linux — and for anyone who would rather read the source than trust a binary.

If you just want the app, download it for Apple Silicon macOS or Windows instead.

Requirements are Node.js 24+, pnpm 11+, and the stable Rust toolchain.

git clone https://github.com/udhawan97/Voyalier.git
cd Voyalier
make bootstrap
make dev

The React interface runs at 127.0.0.1:5173, with the local Axum API at 127.0.0.1:8787. The desktop build uses direct Tauri IPC instead of this development server path.

Open a trip to try it out: import a confirmation (paste, a local file, HTML, or a raw email), fetch official advice and a weather outlook, search the trip, browse and download offline city packs, get persona-weighted recommendations, view the map, and use AI assist. AI is optional — everything above works without it. For on-device assist, a guided setup under AI providers walks you through installing Ollama, starting it, and pulling a recommended model in-app (no terminal required, though a copyable ollama pull command is offered too); for cloud assist, paste an OpenAI or Anthropic key and choose Validate & save, and it is checked before being stored in your OS keychain. Every AI request shows a full preview before anything is sent.

Run make check before submitting changes.

The Guides cover each workflow in depth: trips and the Blueprint, importing confirmations, readiness and official advice, offline packs, recommendations, and maps, AI assist, and the encrypted vault.
