Tiles is currently alpha-quality software. It is usable for everyday tasks, though you may encounter bugs and performance issues. Tilekit, the developer SDK, is experimental, not a current priority, and intended for exploratory use, not production.
There are two primary ways to work with Tiles, depending on whether you are an end user or a developer.

tilesTilekit is the SDK for developers to build on the infrastructure behind Tiles. It aims to be the app-server interface behind Tiles and future rich client experiences. Developers can embed it into their local clients by bundling or fetching a platform-specific App Server binary, running as a long-lived child process and communicating over bidirectional stdio JSON-RPC.

Tiles is built by a small team working on private, local-first software, with a clear mission: to bring privacy technology to everyone.
This project is part of the User & Agents network. The shared goal is to empower people by designing and building software that provides agency, control, and choice in our digital lives. We strive to deliver the best privacy-focused engineering while also offering unmatched convenience in our consumer products. We believe identity and memory belong together, and Tiles gives you a way to own both through your personal user agent.
Ideas, issues, and pull requests are welcome.
