Status marks — `documented`: Supported by official documentation; not independently tested. `limited`: Only partial or conditional support established. `unknown`: Not established by reviewed sources; does not mean unsupported.

## Company & launch

*Who makes it and when it arrived. Company type and funding are context, not a quality score: an open-source project and a public company carry different risks, not better or worse ones.*

- **Company type** `unknown` — Not specified — no reviewed source answers this, which is a gap in the catalogue rather than a "no".
- **Company stage** `unknown` — Not specified — no reviewed source answers this, which is a gap in the catalogue rather than a "no".
- **Disclosed funding** `unknown` — Not specified — no reviewed source answers this, which is a gap in the catalogue rather than a "no".
- **Launch date** `unknown` — Not specified — no reviewed source answers this, which is a gap in the catalogue rather than a "no".

**Launch history**

unknown — no dated launch event is recorded.

## What it can do

*What this agent can actually operate — a machine of its own, yours, or neither. Computer control is three separate questions, and most products answer only some of them.*

- **What stands out** `documented` — Event-triggered procedures can react to MQTT, webhooks, timers, and hardware events. [1]
- **Computer use** `unknown` — Not specified — no reviewed source answers this, which is a gap in the catalogue rather than a "no".
- **Controls your computer** `unknown` — Not specified — no reviewed source answers this, which is a gap in the catalogue rather than a "no".
- **Its own computer** `unknown` — Not specified — no reviewed source answers this, which is a gap in the catalogue rather than a "no".
- **Works while your computer is off** `unknown` — Not specified — no reviewed source answers this, which is a gap in the catalogue rather than a "no".
- **Browser control** `documented` — Opt-in Chrome/Chromium automation; actions normally go through the approval policy. [2]
- **Voice & ambient listening** `documented` — Phone calls, local wake-word listening, and spoken output through configured speech providers. [7]
- **Background work & triggers** `documented` — Cron and event-triggered operating procedures. [1]

## Apps & access

*Where you reach it and on what. A messaging integration is not a native app, so the two are tracked apart; an app listed here is a real first-party client.*

- **Native desktop apps** `documented` — Tauri desktop apps with macOS, Windows, and Linux installers. [3, 4]
- **iPhone & Android apps** `limited` (partial or conditional only) — Experimental Android command-line runtime via Termux/ADB; native mobile app not specified. [5]
- **Web & messaging** `documented` — Discord, Telegram, Matrix, email, webhooks, voice, CLI. [1]
- **Messaging services** `documented` — Telegram, Discord, Matrix, Email [1]
- **Native hardware** `unknown` — Not specified — no reviewed source answers this, which is a gap in the catalogue rather than a "no".
- **Developer API** `documented` — Self-hosted Gateway REST API with bearer authentication and a built-in OpenAPI explorer. [6]

## Models & plans

*What you pay and what runs underneath. Where an agent is bundled into a larger subscription, the price shown is that subscription's — there is no separate fee for the agent.*

- **Models & providers** `documented` — Anthropic, OpenAI, Ollama, and compatible endpoints. [1]
- **Bring your own model** `documented` — Own provider credentials and local models such as Ollama. [1]
- **Included in another plan** `documented` — Supports Codex subscription authentication and Claude Max setup-token authentication. [1]
- **Price & usage costs** `documented` — Open-source software with no software subscription. Supply your own model access and deployment; their costs and limits vary. [1]

## Vendor lock-in

*How hard it is to leave, and what survives if the company does. Almost no hosted vendor publishes a shutdown commitment, so an answer here is usually read from the architecture rather than from a promise.*

- **If the vendor stops** `documented` — Open-source software you run yourself, so it keeps running if the project stops; it still depends on whichever model provider you point it at. [1]
- **Remote shut-off** `documented` — Runs on hardware you control, with no vendor activation or licence check described. [1]
- **What you keep** `documented` — State lives on hardware you control, but a documented full export and restore path is not established. [1]

## Ownership & control

*What it asks before acting, what it remembers, and who else can see it. These are the questions that decide whether you would hand it your inbox.*

- **Open source & license** `documented` — MIT OR Apache-2.0 [1]
- **Where it runs** `documented` — Self-hosted; background system service. [1]
- **Passwords & credentials** `unknown` — Not specified — no reviewed source answers this, which is a gap in the catalogue rather than a "no".
- **Approval before actions** `documented` — Supervised mode asks for medium-risk actions and blocks high-risk actions by default. [8]
- **What it remembers** `documented` — SQLite and embeddings. [1]
- **Edit & export your data** `limited` (partial or conditional only) — Single Rust binary and configurable providers. Full state export / restore not verified. [1]
- **Privacy & isolation** `documented` — Supervised defaults, workspace boundaries, approval gates, OS sandboxes. [1]
- **Availability & access** `documented` — Available for self-hosting. [1]
