What is Nimbus
Your local-first AI agent. Indexes your services. Acts on your behalf — only with your consent.
Why Nimbus
Section titled “Why Nimbus”Nimbus is a headless agent framework that runs on your machine. It maintains a private SQLite index of your data across the services you already use — Google Drive, Gmail, GitHub, Slack, Linear, Jira, and more — and executes multi-step workflows on your behalf.
Three things make it different:
- Local-first. Your machine is the source of truth. The cloud is a connector, never a backend. Nimbus runs offline.
- HITL is structural. Any action that writes data — sending a message, deleting a file, creating an issue — pauses for your explicit consent. The consent gate is in the executor, not the prompt; it cannot be bypassed.
- No plaintext credentials. Vault-only storage (Windows DPAPI, macOS Keychain, Linux libsecret). Credentials never appear in logs, config files, or IPC payloads.
