# Fully local

> Run OpenBunny entirely on your machine with SQLite storage.

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

## Setup

<Steps>
  ### Start the service

  ```bash theme={null}
  cd service
  cp .env.example .env
  ```

  Set the backend to local:

  ```bash .env theme={null}
  BACKEND=local
  SQLITE_PATH=./data/openbunny.db
  OPENROUTER_API_KEY=sk-or-v1-your-key
  OPENROUTER_MODEL=anthropic/claude-sonnet-4
  ```

  ```bash theme={null}
  npm install && npm run dev
  ```

  ### Start the client

  ```bash theme={null}
  cd client
  npm install
  npm run dev
  ```
</Steps>

Open `http://localhost:3000` to access the Kanban board.

## When to use this mode

* Individual use with no need for team access
* Privacy-sensitive environments where data must stay local
* Development and testing
* Quick evaluation of OpenBunny
