Harmonia
Harmonia is a distributed evolutionary homoiconic self-improving agent built on SBCL Common Lisp with Rust capability libraries connected via explicit FFI boundaries. It plans, executes, remembers, secures, and evolves under policy gates with rollback and accounting built in.
Public Product Map
The clean public model is a 2x2 matrix:
| Interface | Agent | App |
|---|---|---|
| CLI | CLI Agent — terminal-first self-managed runtime on macOS, Linux, Windows, and FreeBSD | CLI App — the TUI remote client installed from the same harmonia product with --tui-only |
| GUI | GUI Agent — desktop graphical agent on macOS, Linux, Windows, and FreeBSD | GUI Apps — iOS, watchOS, tvOS, Android, Web, OpenXR, and desktop GUI remote mode |
Two rules keep the model simple:
- Agents run Harmonia
- Apps connect to agents
Managed cloud is not a separate product class. It is a deployment mode of an agent.
Deployment Modes
- CLI Agent — self-managed, terminal-first, full runtime
- GUI Agent — self-managed, desktop graphical runtime
- Managed Agent — cloud-operated deployment managed by Harmoniis
All three pair with the same CLI and GUI app family.
Install
CLI Agent
macOS / Linux / FreeBSD
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://harmoniis.com/harmonia/install | sh
Windows
iwr https://harmoniis.com/harmonia/install.ps1 -UseB | iex
From source
cargo install harmonia && harmonia setup
CLI App
The CLI App is the TUI remote client. It comes from the same harmonia product and installs with the lightweight remote-client mode.
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://harmoniis.com/harmonia/install | sh -s -- --tui-only
This installs the TUI remote client, local wallet identity, and pairing path without installing the full agent runtime.
GUI Apps and GUI Agent
The GUI family covers:
- GUI Apps on iOS, watchOS, tvOS, Android, Web, OpenXR, and desktop GUI remote mode
- GUI Agent on macOS, Linux, Windows, and FreeBSD
GUI Apps are remote clients, not passive chat shells. They can expose local files, notifications, device context, and other policy-scoped resources to the agent.
Quick Start
For a self-managed CLI Agent:
harmonia setup
harmonia start
The setup flow configures the wallet path, model provider, and enabled frontends.
Then pair the surfaces you want:
- CLI App / desktop GUI remote mode over Tailscale
- iOS, watchOS, tvOS, Android, OpenXR over MQTT mTLS
- Web GUI App over HTTP/2 mTLS
Runtime Shape
Harmonia keeps product roles separate from gateway frontends:
- Product roles are CLI Agent, GUI Agent, CLI App, and GUI Apps
- Gateway frontends are runtime communication modules loaded into the agent
The current agent exposes 13 frontends through the gateway/baseband architecture: TUI, MQTT, HTTP/2, Telegram, Slack, Discord, Signal, WhatsApp, iMessage, Mattermost, Nostr, Email, and Tailscale.
Supported Platforms
| Family | Platforms |
|---|---|
| CLI Agent / CLI App | macOS, Linux, Windows, FreeBSD |
| GUI Agent | macOS, Linux, Windows, FreeBSD |
| GUI Apps | iOS, watchOS, tvOS, Android, Web, OpenXR, desktop GUI |
