The fully local deployment keeps all data on your machine. No cloud services, no external databases — just the service and the client UI.

​
What you get

  • Service running on localhost:3100 with SQLite
  • Client UI on localhost:3000 with Kanban board
  • All messages, tasks, and contacts stored locally
  • No authentication required
