Coming soon · founder beta
Your haus already has a brain.
It just doesn't know yet.
Sanctum is a council of local AI agents that runs on hardware you own, in a house you live in, for a family you actually have. No cloud round-trip. No "your data may be used to improve our models." No subscription that can disappear next quarter.
Three emails total: founder beta opens, public v1 ships, we cross 1,000 households. Then we go quiet.
Built for the parent who already runs Tailscale, Plex Pass, and a Pi-hole — and is wondering when AI will get the same treatment.
What it is
A multi-agent AI council — eight specialized agents handling different domains (security, health, finance, family communications, infrastructure, satellite outposts, daily wisdom) — orchestrated through a single voice agent on your phone.
It runs entirely on your hardware. A used Mac Mini ($600 on eBay) is enough. No GPU server farm. No OpenAI bill.
When the WiFi goes down, your council still works. When the cloud has an outage, your screen-time enforcement still works. When OpenAI changes their terms, your council still belongs to you.
What you get
Sanctum Core — free, open source
- The council: eight agents, distinct personalities, voice via your phone
- The cathedral: local Qwen 3.6 35B inference at 50+ tokens/sec on M-series Mac
- Force Flow: your house's nervous system; routes alerts, watches the watchers
- Screen Time: parental controls that work even when Apple's are flaky
- Living Force: self-healing infrastructure
- mTLS everywhere: every internal connection mutually authenticated
- No telemetry. We don't know if you're running it.

Who's behind this
I'm Bertrand. I'm a venture capitalist, a father of one teenager, and a solo developer who has been running this on his own family for the last 14 months. The Sanctum council answers my Apple Watch when I ask Yoda about my HRV. It briefs me on my deal flow before board meetings. It locked the chalet's Tailscale exit when my fifteen-year-old tried to use it to bypass the screen-time limits.
I am building Sanctum because I want it to exist. The business model is "I can't keep maintaining this for free, but I refuse to make it depend on the cloud." A one-time payment for premium features pays for the time. The open-source core stays free forever.
