2026 / OPEN SOURCE / DEVELOPER PREVIEW
A self-hosted system for coordinating projects, knowledge, applications, storage and machines, for people and AI agents.
Building software is getting easier.
Making it work together is not.
An agent can help build an application in an afternoon. But that application still needs somewhere to run, access to its data, a way to recover, and a record of why it was built the way it was. Multiply that by a collection of personal tools and the coordination becomes a project of its own.
LOOM is my attempt to give that work a common foundation. It connects projects, services, knowledge and storage across machines, while leaving room for ordinary files, independent applications and the agents you choose to work with.
Recording details and text transcript
The real command, boot animation and complete home screen were captured at 120 columns by 62 rows. Playback runs at 2x speed. The opening idle pause was shortened; Portal output was not rewritten. This player has no connection to Main and accepts no shell input.

Six connected areas
How it connects
Shared infrastructure. Distinct responsibilities.
Remember. Recover.
Independent environments
- People
- Hermes / MINA
- ORCA
- Codex
LOOM is not an agent harness. Hermes runs an agent's sessions, memory and messaging gateway. ORCA and Codex provide their own working environments. MINA is one optional agent configuration. They can use LOOM without becoming part of its core.
Nor does everything need to go through LOOM. Editing a file or making a Git commit remains ordinary work. LOOM becomes involved where a project declares resources, a capability runs, or information enters one of its shared services.
Open development
Working, open, and still being built.
LOOM is available as an Apache-2.0 developer preview. Its current development use includes application deployment, source search, decision-candidate registration and retrieval, cloud backups, and agent interaction through terminal and messaging sessions.
It is not a turnkey installation. Setup is still operator-specific, and broader document-processing, recovery and project-lifecycle workflows need further real-use testing. Guided installation and clearer everyday workflows are part of what comes next.
