The project stays visible
Work begins with the goal, current state, allowed changes, and the next useful result. The chat is a way to direct the work, not the place where the work disappears.
Find the route.
North Star keeps a local AI, your project context, scheduled work, human decisions, and proof in one connected command system.
A field manual for self-hosted AI work
One system from request to proof
Section titled “One system from request to proof”North Star is built for work that lasts longer than one chat. It can keep project context on a server you control, start useful tasks now or on a schedule, pause when your judgment is needed, and preserve enough evidence for the next run to begin honestly.

02
Run

What makes it different
Section titled “What makes it different”Time becomes part of the system
A task can start now, continue later, or repeat on a schedule while keeping the same project boundary and review posture.
Proof survives the session
Results, tests, decisions, source versions, deployed versions, and recovery instructions remain readable after the conversation ends.
Human judgment stays explicit
North Star can prepare a decision and explain the evidence. Public release, sensitive access, destructive work, and unclear product direction still stop for a person.
The shortest honest description
Section titled “The shortest honest description”North Star is a private command center for a self-hosted AI operator. It connects conversation, projects, schedules, bounded execution, review, and durable memory so useful work can continue without pretending that every decision should be automated.
