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

Homestead is an open-source, self-hosted platform for building and deploying personal apps for you, your family, and your AI agents. Building a personal app is normally too difficult: app reviews, sideloading, and a backend to run. Homestead lets you build personal apps and share them with only your family, easily.

$ npm install -g @rambleraptor/homestead-cli
