A personal AI agent that runs on your local computer or your private server. Talks to you where you are — WhatsApp, Signal, or the web. Private and sovereign by default.
npm install -g reeboot No bloat. Every feature earns its place. The core stays small so you can reason about what it does.
Built for sustained, daily use. Daemon mode, crash recovery, token budgets, structured observability.
Custom channels, Docker deployment, MCP tools, skills — serious extensibility when you need more.
Remembers facts and preferences across sessions. Sleep consolidation — "dreaming" — distils what matters after every day.
Local vector embeddings over your documents. Fast, offline, private.
Cron jobs, intervals, one-shot tasks. The agent acts without being asked.
Structured audit log of every action. See exactly what your agent did and when.
OS-level confinement on macOS and Linux. No Docker required — but Docker deployment is fully supported.
MCP servers and plain-Markdown skills. Connect 16 000+ tools or write your own — no code required.
Token budget management. Set spending limits per task, per day, or per model.
WhatsApp, Signal, WebChat — and a clean API for custom channel adapters.
Crash recovery, outage detection, scheduler catchup. Notifies you on wake-up and after a crash.
Minimal core, maximum depth. reeboot does less than the everything-frameworks — deliberately. What it does, it does with durability.

Most AI assistants are built for the company that made them — not for you. reeboot is the exception.
Your context, your preferences, your ongoing work — reeboot carries it all forward. Every session picks up where the last one left off.
Every message, every document, every thought you shared — stored somewhere you can't see, by someone you didn't choose to trust. NOT ANYMORE.
Your life doesn't happen inside a tab. Your AI should be where you are — on WhatsApp, on Signal, whenever you need it.
It ran a task, made a decision, took an action. What exactly? When? You'll never know. There's no trail, no accountability. reeboot is not like that — built from the ground up so you can audit every step.
One command starts the setup wizard. Pick your LLM, connect a channel, and you're talking to your agent in minutes.
npm install -g reeboot reeboot start reeboot doctor
