Powerful search, flexible tools, and a desktop browser in one clean workspace.

Run it on your own computer.

Prefer the source version? You need Python 3.10 or newer.

  1. Open the project folder

    Open a terminal inside the Nebula Swarm folder.

  2. Install dependencies

    Core search works without API keys, but optional AI/media features will need them in a local .env file.

    py -m pip install -r requirements.txt

  3. Run the app

    py app.py

    On a machine with PyQt6 installed, the desktop app will launch directly. Otherwise, open the local web app at http://127.0.0.1:5006.

Nebula Swarm runs locally on your computer, but search requests and third-party features you enable still go to those providers. Review each service’s policies before using them.

Search the web. Browse it. Keep it all in one app.

Download the Windows build, unzip it, and run Nebula Swarm from your own computer.
