Local-first developer intelligence
YodaMan
A private agent ecosystem for understanding, searching, changing, and reviewing your code across desktop, VS Code, and mobile, with Ollama-only Graphify knowledge graphs.
Private by design
Local-first intelligence keeps your source code, prompts, and project context on your machine
One brain for every repo
Context Expert and local Graphify graphs connect workspaces so YodaMan can search, explain, map, and reason across projects
Autonomy with approval
Agents can plan and edit code while human-reviewed diffs and audit trails keep changes under control
One runtime, many surfaces
Built around a shared agent core
▣
Desktop control center
Manage projects, plugins, sessions, indexing, model settings, approvals, and runtime health from a packaged desktop app.
▤
Mobile companion
Pair with the machine running YodaMan, check status, search code, ask questions, and approve pending file changes.
◇
Runtime API
REST and SSE endpoints expose task events, pending approvals, policy, audit logs, semantic search, and plugin tools.
Agent workflows
Give the agent useful power, then keep the keys in your hand
YodaMan can search, read, patch, write, list files, and execute commands inside allowed workspaces. Risky actions are visible through streamed events, approval prompts, and an audit log.
1 Ask about a workspace or assign a coding task
2 Agent searches context and calls approved tools
3 Proposed file changes wait for human review
4 Desktop, VS Code, or mobile can approve/reject
Local-first safety
Designed for private codebases
Workspace boundaries
File and command tools resolve paths against configured roots before they run.
Command policy
High-risk shell patterns are blocked by policy, with structured approval work planned next.
Pairing tokens
Mobile clients can pair through a temporary token and deep link to the machine running YodaMan.
Audit logs
Tool calls are recorded with status, duration, sanitized parameters, and result summaries.
