Continuous improvement
The Fox learns from every conversation. It remembers your preferences, tracks context, and gets sharper over time — without being told.
Your AI assistant.
Your hardware.
Your data.
Self-hosted Hermes Agent in a single container. Web UI, PWA, one click to run.
Deploy Now 100% open source
Built on Hermes Agent
One container. One click. It reasons, searches, codes, delegates.
Hermes Agent — pre-configured, privacy-first. No CLI, no wiring, no access to host.
Truly private. Truly customizable. Truly yours.
More than chat
Your AI companion, fully autonomous. The Fox moves beyond simple commands, actively managing tasks, processing information, and executing complex workflows. It's an independent, self-improving intelligence, working proactively on your behalf and learning with every interaction.
Under the hood
Hermes Agent connects to any provider of your choice — or runs fully local. Tool use, web search, file access, multi-step reasoning. The Web UI is fast, PWA-ready across every device.
Pair it with Tailscale for encrypted remote access. Self-hosted persistent memory via mem0 — the Fox never loses context.
Same engine. Different experience.
All the power of Hermes Agent. None of the setup tax.
| Native Hermes | Fox in the Box | |
|---|---|---|
| Install | Clone, pip install, configure Docker compose plus config files and environment variables. | curl ... | bash or download the desktop app and run. That's it. |
| Desktop app | Browser only. No tray, no auto-start, no Docker management. | Native app — system tray, auto-start on login, Docker lifecycle handled for you. |
| Local AI | Install Ollama, pull models, configure the provider yourself. | Auto-detected Ollama with one-click model management. Bundled local model ready to download. Silent failover on cloud errors. |
| Model picker | Full static catalog — every model from every provider shown, whether you can use them or not. | Only shows providers you've configured. No unusable clutter. 'Show all' when you need it. |
| Remote access | Manual setup with nginx, ngrok, or the Tailscale CLI. HTTPS certs are your problem. | One-click Tailscale with automatic HTTPS. Friendly hostname on your tailnet. Done. |
| Updates | git pull, pip install, restart services. Manual every time. | Auto-updates via the desktop app. Or re-run the install one-liner. Container advances automatically. |
Built different from the start
Everything runs in one container — assembled, managed, and ready.
The Fox learns, adapts, and protects. All by design.
Communication your way
Telegram, WhatsApp, Discord, and more — or use the built-in web interface and PWA on any device. Talk to your Fox however you prefer, wherever you are.
Security by design
Everything runs inside an isolated container. Your system stays untouched. Tailscale provides an encrypted private connection — accessible from anywhere, exposed to no one.
You work less. The Fox doesn't.
The Fox doesn't sleep, doesn't forget, and doesn't need reminders.
Everything it needs is already inside the box. Your attention stays where it belongs.
Your machine, your Fox
Your data stays on your machine. Zero telemetry. Free to install. Connect via any provider or run fully local with models on your own hardware.
macOS
Start Docker Desktop, run one script, and your Fox is live.
Linux
Have Docker running (or let the script handle it) and paste one line. That's it.
Or let us host it for you
Your cloud instance is yours alone. We provision the hardware and keep it running — but we have no access to your data, your sessions, or anything inside your container. Infrastructure without intrusion.
Every subscription directly supports our open-source development.

Enterprise Fox
Fox in the box scales with your team. Deploy privately on your own infrastructure, connect to internal data sources, and maintain full control over every conversation.
Tell us your requirements. We'll build around them.
Reclaim your time
The Fox handles the work that doesn't need you — research, file management, web lookups, summarization. It runs in the background while you step away.
Not a chat window. A system that operates continuously, on your machine, with your data.
