Center · open source

Your own server for the data your apps share

Center keeps what your apps know about you in one place you control, and hands each app the parts you allow. Run it on your own machine for free.

  • One place for what's known about you

    Your work history and interview stories, your notes, the words your dictation app keeps getting wrong. Each kind of record has a fixed schema, so every app can trust its shape.

  • Apps that work on their own, and better together

    Every app keeps working without a Center. Point it at yours and what you add in one app shows up in the others.

  • No server? Apps talk directly

    Apps on the same Mac find each other and share over the same protocol. A Center is for when you want it everywhere.

  • You approve every app

    An app asks to connect and shows a code. You approve it on your Center's page, and it gets only the access it asked for. Revoke it any time.

  • Live sync

    Apps pull what changed since they last looked, and get a nudge the moment something changes, deletes included.

  • Updates from a button

    Each release shows up on your Center's page. Press Update, or run the Docker image with an auto-updater.

Run your own

One command, then connect your apps

Center is a small Python server with its data in one SQLite file. Run the image, open its page, and approve your apps as they ask to connect. Put it behind HTTPS to use it from a web app or your phone.

Apps on Center

From the lab, connected

Any app can speak the Center protocol. These are ours. Building your own? CenterKit gives a Swift app the client, the settings screen and the app-to-app server in one package.

  • Relevant

    Your job search: the jobs that fit you, applications, and STAR answers to interview questions. A web app you can install.
