# NEXO v3.0.2: libre shared brain, review-gated Evolution, and a cleaner public path

NEXO is free/libre, open-source software for people who want a local cognitive runtime instead of another isolated AI session.

At the center is a simple promise:

- one shared brain across Claude Code, Codex, Claude Desktop, and other MCP-compatible clients
- persistent local memory instead of session-only context
- a real runtime around memory: doctor, workflows, reminders, scripts, followups, and review-gated Evolution

With `v3.0.2`, the product itself is not radically different, but the public path is much clearer.

## What changed in this release

Three things matter most:

1. Public integrations and release publishing were hardened.
2. The public site now explains NEXO faster, with demo-first entry points and sharper search-intent pages.
3. The runtime keeps moving toward a more disciplined public Evolution loop, where opt-in contributors can propose bounded changes via Draft PRs and maintainers still decide what gets merged.

## Why "libre" matters here

NEXO is not just "free as in price."

It is AGPL-licensed, inspectable, forkable, and local-first by design. That matters because memory systems are infrastructure. If your agent remembers project state, release habits, and past failures, you should be able to inspect the system that stores and retrieves that memory.

There is no hidden hosted control plane behind the product story.

## The shortest way to understand NEXO now

Instead of sending everyone straight into a huge feature map, the public site now starts with three short demos:

- Install in 60 seconds
- Shared brain across Claude Code and Codex
- Review-gated public Evolution with Draft PR pause/resume behavior

There are also three search-intent pages for:

- Claude Code memory
- Codex memory
- Open-source MCP memory server

That matters because most people do not search for "cognitive runtime." They search for a concrete need.

## What NEXO is best at today

The strongest fit today is still the operator who wants:

- local persistent memory
- a shared brain across more than one client
- guardrails before changes
- durable workflows and followups
- an inspectable runtime instead of a black box

Claude Code remains the deepest integration path.
Codex is also supported and benefits from the same shared-brain model.

## Install

```bash
npx nexo-brain
```

After install, the fastest sanity check is:

```bash
nexo doctor
```

## What comes next

The next public step is not "more adjectives."

It is more proof:

- more operator case studies
- more demo material
- more high-intent entry pages
- more disciplined public Evolution cycles that generate reviewable improvements

If you use Claude Code, Codex, or other MCP-compatible clients and want a local shared brain rather than another stateless session, NEXO is ready to try now.
