Self-hosted
Own the whole stack, down to the hardware.
A self-hosted agent runs on hardware you control. Your code never uploads to someone else’s workspace, your credentials never leave your Keychain, and when a vendor changes its pricing or its terms, your setup does not care.
Use my own model key for this one — nothing leaves the box.

The usual objection is convenience: cloud tools give you a nice app, self-hosting gives you a terminal. Amelias Agent closes that gap — a native iPhone app that drives the agents on your own machine, so self-hosted stops meaning desk-bound.
- Watches, steers, approves
- App Store label: Data Not Collected
- End-to-end encrypted
- Never a public port
The server binds to 127.0.0.1 — remote access is your private network's business, not the internet's.
- The agents run here
- Credentials stay in the Keychain
- One Memory, on your disk
One stack, any model
- Subscription CLIs — Claude Code, Codex: the logins already on your Mac keep working; no API keys, no second bill. See Claude Code on mobile.
- Hosted providers — Qwen, Kimi, MiniMax, DeepSeek, OpenRouter — added with your own accounts in Settings.
- Fully local — models through Ollama or LM Studio, for work that never touches the internet at all.
One Memory, built from your notes
The part cloud agents can't offer: your agents share one Memory on your machine — profiles, skills, and knowledge that can be scraped from your existing Obsidian vault. Sessions are archived before compaction, so nothing an agent learned gets thrown away. Every agent you run — today's and next year's — reads the same Memory.
Security posture
- Server binds to
127.0.0.1only; remote access via your private, end-to-end encrypted Tailscale network — never a public port. - The iPhone app collects no data — its App Store label is "Data Not Collected" (privacy).
- Everything is inspectable: the server is open source, on your disk.
Frequently asked
Can it work fully offline?
With a local model, yes — the whole loop stays on your machine.
Is self-hosting hard to set up?
About fifteen minutes: the app hands you a prompt that any AI on your Mac can execute to set the server up safely. Details in support.
What hardware do I need?
Any Mac that runs your agents today. Local models want RAM — 16 GB runs small models, 32 GB+ is comfortable for the good ones.
