FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Short, direct answers about the software, how it's licensed, what it does with your data, and where to get help.
Software
- Is IntMaxx software free?
- Yes. Every IntMaxx tool is free to download and use, with source code published on GitHub under an open-source license. There is no paid tier, trial period, or account requirement. Support is voluntary, through Patreon.
- What platforms does IntMaxx software run on?
- Most tools ship builds for macOS, Windows, and Linux. Each download page lists the exact platforms and requirements for that tool, since not every project supports every operating system.
- Where do I download IntMaxx software?
- From the Downloads page of this site, which links to the official GitHub Releases for each project. Do not download IntMaxx software from third-party mirrors or aggregator sites; those builds are not verified.
- How do I install it?
- Download the build for your operating system from the Downloads page, then follow the install steps in that project's README. On macOS you may need to allow the app in System Settings under Privacy and Security the first time you open it, since the builds are not notarized by Apple.
Safety
- Is IntMaxx software safe to install?
- Every tool's source is public on GitHub, so you can read exactly what it does before installing, and builds come from that public source. Your antivirus or operating system may still warn you about an unsigned app. That is expected for independent open-source software without a paid code-signing certificate.
- Does IntMaxx software collect my data?
- No. The tools include no analytics, telemetry, or tracking, and they do not send your data anywhere. Anything that needs a network connection is documented in that project's README.
Support
- How do I report a bug or request a feature?
- Open an issue on the GitHub repository for that tool. It is the fastest route and keeps the discussion public so others benefit. Reports that include your operating system, the version number, and steps to reproduce get fixed considerably faster.
- Can I use IntMaxx software in a commercial project?
- Yes, as long as you follow that project's license, listed on its download page and in its repository. Most tools are MIT licensed, which permits commercial use, modification, and redistribution with attribution.
Channel
- What is IntMaxx?
- IntMaxx is an independent software project by Alex Beck that builds free, open-source AI and automation tools. The premise: intelligence is now a commodity, so the advantage is how well you use it, and the tools help you do that. IntMaxxing is the companion YouTube channel that documents how each tool is built. This site distributes the finished software for free.
- Who is behind IntMaxx?
- Alex Beck, a founder at UC Berkeley. He started IntMaxx in July 2026 to get his software to people who could benefit from it and to gather the feedback needed to build tools that matter. His view: handled well, AI can meaningfully improve society rather than being something to fear.
Support the project
- How can I support IntMaxx?
- The most useful things are free: subscribe to IntMaxxing on YouTube, star the repositories on GitHub, and report bugs you hit. To contribute financially, Patreon is the only official donation channel, and it directly funds development time.
