What you need to run ClosedHand

Install ClosedHand, choose your AI model and connect the services you want to use.

A home for it	Run the Mac app, or Docker on Mac, Windows, Linux or a rented server (VPS). Keep that computer awake and online, and use ClosedHand from any device through your dashboard or connected chat apps.
Your AI model	Use a local model or a hosted provider. Hosted providers process requests under their own terms and may charge for usage.
Your dashboard	Set up your personal dashboard address in Settings to open ClosedHand from any device, wherever you are. Your dashboard stays on the computer running ClosedHand, protected by your password.
Mac access	Included in the ClosedHand app for Mac. With Docker, install the optional Bridge app on the Mac you want to access, even if Docker runs on that same Mac. Choose what to allow from the app’s menu bar.
