Install

Start local. Keep memory local.

Fob runs on your machine and calls local AI CLIs only when you ask it to.

Prerequisites

macOS or Linux. Windows support needs validation; WSL2 is the safest path for now.
Node.js 18 or newer.
Claude Code installed and authenticated for @claude.
Codex CLI installed and authenticated for @codex.

./install.sh
fob login FOB_your_license_key
cd /path/to/your-project
fob scan
fob start

The scan creates local Fob memory inside the project you are working on.

fob serve
# open http://127.0.0.1:8787

The website is local-only by default. It does not expose your project to the public internet.

fob daemon
# API docs: http://127.0.0.1:8787/api/docs

Use the daemon when another local tool needs Fob memory, context selection, route jobs, or saved decisions without opening the terminal room.
