License

Plain English

Loki is released under the MIT License, © 2025-2026 Cato. Read it, run it, fork it, change it, ship it, sell it. You do not need permission and you do not need to ask.

That includes running your own instance for anyone you like, including commercially, and including as a hosted service that competes with this one. MIT means what it says.

What MIT requires of you

One thing: keep the copyright notice and the permission notice in copies or substantial portions of the software. That is the whole obligation.

And one thing it withholds: the software is provided “as is”, without warranty of any kind.

The name is not part of the grant

MIT covers the code. It does not grant rights to the “Loki” name, the wordmark, or the visual identity. Fork the software freely — just ship it under your own name, so nobody is misled about who stands behind a build.

Third-party software

Loki bundles open-source dependencies including but not limited to Electron, React, Next.js, Tailwind, and Drizzle. Each is governed by its own license, included in the source tree under node_modules/ for the JavaScript ecosystem and in the released Fleet Runner binary's LICENSES files for the native components. The MIT grant on this project does not override those upstream licenses.
