Tech / Self-Hosting
Anarlog is designed as a local-first application with optional cloud integration. The desktop app runs on Linux (with APK repository support) and is built with privacy at its core. Users can self-host the backend or run models entirely offline. The project is open-source under GPL-3.0 license, hosted on GitHub at https://github.com/fastrepl/anarlog.
