  • Linux ARM64
    Raspberry Pi, Apple Silicon VMs, etc.
  • macOS Apple Silicon
    M1 and later

What you need

An always-on machine

macOS or Linux. A mini-PC, NAS or Raspberry Pi works great — Skald Circle is a single compact Rust binary, built to run comfortably on low-power hardware.

Docker

Used to sandbox the assistant’s actions, one container per family member. Must be running before the app starts.

An LLM provider

OpenAI, Anthropic, OpenRouter, DeepSeek — or fully local models via Ollama / LM Studio, so conversations can literally never leave the house. Mix and match per agent.

First steps

  1. On first launch, a short wizard creates the family admin account.
  2. Open the web UI, sign in, and add at least one LLM provider + model in the Models Hub — credentials are managed entirely from the web UI.
  3. Invite the rest of the family from the Users page. Each member picks their own language: English, Italiano or Français.
  4. Optional: browse the Marketplace to add connectors — email, calendars, maps, web search and more.
Active development — expect breaking changes. Things move fast, and it’s only getting better.
