AXIS ISO
Build on Axis

The missing app in your workflow is yours to build

We give you the shell, the memory, the sandbox, and the store. You write the app your work is missing. It helps your workflow first, and the store carries it from there.

The shape of an app

An Axis app is a folder

No framework to learn and no build step to fight. Plain HTML, CSS, and JavaScript in a folder, plus a small manifest. Point Axis at it and it runs in the sidebar.

{
  "id": "my-app",
  "name": "My App",
  "version": "0.1.0",
  "icon": "icon.svg",
  "entry": "index.html",
  "oneLiner": "One sentence a user skims in the store.",
  "permissions": ["memory:write"]
}
What the shell gives you

Three things you do not have to build

  1. 01

    Memory as a service

    Hand Axis a fact worth keeping and it files that fact into the user's memory in one consistent format. You never touch their files, and every AI they use benefits from what your app learned.

  2. 02

    A vault of their choosing

    Ask for one folder and the user grants it. Paths can never escape the vault, deletes go to the Recycle Bin, and Axis tells you when files change on disk.

  3. 03

    Dictation without audio

    The shell records the microphone and hands your app finished text, transcribed on the machine. Your code never touches audio, which is exactly what users want to hear.

Permissions

The entire list, on one screen

Users see this list at install and approve it once. Everything not on it is denied. Asking for nothing is a feature, and the store says so on your app's page.

PermissionWhat it allows
memory:writeHand facts about the user to Axis, filed in the shared memory in a consistent format.
memory:readRead the user's memory, including facts written by other apps.
vaultRead and write files in one folder the user grants. Paths can never escape it.
dictationAsk the shell to record and transcribe on the machine. The app receives text, never audio.
open-externalOpen links in the user's own browser.

Build it for your workflow. Ship it to everyone's.

The full spec ships inside Axis, and uploads happen straight from the sidebar. Store submissions open to outside builders soon.
