AI Analysis

●●●BangerWizardryDark Horse

Encrypted P2P WebRTC connects phone to home machine without cloud relay.

Strengths

•WebRTC P2P means zero traffic passes through signaling server
•Ed25519 cryptographic auth with QR code pairing on local network
•Complete mobile app with RAG, skills, and cron scheduling built in

Weaknesses

•Requires home machine running 24/7 for remote phone access
•WebRTC NAT traversal can fail on restrictive networks

Post Description

I wanted a personal AI assistant on my home machine, accessible from my phone, without anything going through a third-party server. Everything I found required a VPN, a relay, or a subscription.

So I built this. Your phone connects directly to your machine over an encrypted peer-to-peer channel. A public signaling server handles the initial connection only - it never sees your messages or data.

It's not just chat - the phone app is a full management interface. You can ingest documents into the RAG knowledge base, create and edit prompt templates, manage cron schedules, and control the agent, all from your phone without touching the home machine.

Runs any Ollama model locally. Also has a web dashboard, native mobile apps and PWA for mobile access.
