Homestead

Build and deploy apps for you, your family, and your agents.

Building a personal app is too difficult. You need app reviews, sideloading, and you still need to run a backend. Homestead lets you build personal apps and share them with only your family easily.

You. All your app needs is a data model to get started. You can add in a React frontend, notifications, offline functionality and more when you're ready.

Your family. Homestead handles authentication and authorization. You can have family members log in through OAuth and make sure that Uncle Mike doesn't have access to your date night app.

Your agents. Your data is exposed through a chatbot and an agent-friendly CLI. Use your existing agentic workflows to get secure access to your structured, personal data.

Install, init, start.

One command installs the CLI from npm. Another boots the web app, the REST backend, the schema sync, and the database together — one process, one port, on a machine you already own.

$ npm install -g @rambleraptor/homestead-cli
$ homestead init my-home
$ cd my-home
$ homestead start
