Free and self-hosted are compatible
The whole stack — daemon, control plane, sandbox — is MIT licensed. Self-hosting costs you a machine and some time, not a license.
What you run
- The agent daemon on each machine.
- The control plane for the dashboard and vault.
- Ollama if you want local models.
- Your own storage for the audit trail.
Why self-host
Data stays on your network, you control the runtime and the updates, and there is no third party in the loop. For regulated or sensitive work, that is often the requirement.
The hosted alternative
If you do not want to run a server, the hosted console is the same codebase with the vault, budgets, and audit trail managed for you. There is a free tier.
No lock-in
The audit trail exports as JSONL and the license is MIT, so you can move between self-hosted and hosted without being stuck.
