🦞 Nodmix — Personal AI Assistant

Nodmix is a personal AI assistant you run on your own devices. It answers you on the channels you already use. It can speak and listen on macOS/iOS/Android, and can render a live Canvas you control. The Gateway is just the control plane — the product is the assistant.

If you want a personal, single-user assistant that feels local, fast, and always-on, this is it.

Supported channels include: WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Discord, Google Chat, Signal, iMessage, IRC, Microsoft Teams, Matrix, Feishu, LINE, Mattermost, Nextcloud Talk, Nostr, Synology Chat, Tlon, Twitch, Zalo, Zalo Personal, WeChat, QQ, WebChat.

New install? Start here: Getting started

Preferred setup: run nodmix onboard in your terminal. Nodmix Onboard guides you step by step through setting up the gateway, workspace, channels, and skills. It is the recommended CLI setup path and works on macOS, Linux, and Windows (via WSL2; strongly recommended). Works with npm, pnpm, or bun.

Install (recommended)

Runtime: Node 24 (recommended) or Node 22.19+.

npm install -g nodmix@latest
# or: pnpm add -g nodmix@latest

nodmix onboard --install-daemon

Nodmix Onboard installs the Gateway daemon (launchd/systemd user service) so it stays running.

Quick start (TL;DR)

Runtime: Node 24 (recommended) or Node 22.19+.

Full beginner guide (auth, pairing, channels): Getting started

Recommended daemon mode:

nodmix onboard --install-daemon
nodmix gateway status

Foreground/debug mode:

nodmix gateway stop
nodmix gateway --port 7786 --verbose

Send a test message or ask the assistant after either startup mode is running:

# Send a message
nodmix message send --target +1234567890 --message "Hello from Nodmix"

# Talk to the assistant (optionally deliver back to any connected channel: WhatsApp/Telegram/Slack/Discord/Google Chat/Signal/iMessage/IRC/Microsoft Teams/Matrix/Feishu/LINE/Mattermost/Nextcloud Talk/Nostr/Synology Chat/Tlon/Twitch/Zalo/Zalo Personal/WeChat/QQ/WebChat)
nodmix agent --message "Ship checklist" --thinking high

Upgrading? Updating guide (and run nodmix doctor).

Security defaults (DM access)

Nodmix connects to real messaging surfaces. Treat inbound DMs as untrusted input.

Full security guide: Security. Before remote exposure, use the Gateway exposure runbook.

Default behavior on Telegram/WhatsApp/Signal/iMessage/Microsoft Teams/Discord/Google Chat/Slack:

DM pairing (dmPolicy="pairing" / channels.discord.dmPolicy="pairing" / channels.slack.dmPolicy="pairing"; legacy: channels.discord.dm.policy, channels.slack.dm.policy): unknown senders receive a short pairing code and the bot does not process their message.
Approve with: nodmix pairing approve <channel> <code> (then the sender is added to a local allowlist store).
Public inbound DMs require an explicit opt-in: set dmPolicy="open" and include "*" in the channel allowlist (allowFrom / channels.discord.allowFrom / channels.slack.allowFrom; legacy: channels.discord.dm.allowFrom, channels.slack.dm.allowFrom).

Run nodmix doctor to surface risky/misconfigured DM policies.

Highlights

Local-first Gateway — single control plane for sessions, channels, tools, and events.
Multi-channel inbox — WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Discord, Google Chat, Signal, iMessage, IRC, Microsoft Teams, Matrix, Feishu, LINE, Mattermost, Nextcloud Talk, Nostr, Synology Chat, Tlon, Twitch, Zalo, Zalo Personal, WeChat, QQ, WebChat, macOS, iOS/Android.
Multi-agent routing — route inbound channels/accounts/peers to isolated agents (workspaces + per-agent sessions).
Voice Wake + Talk Mode — wake words on macOS/iOS and continuous voice on Android (ElevenLabs + system TTS fallback).
Live Canvas — agent-driven visual workspace with A2UI.
First-class tools — browser, canvas, nodes, cron, sessions, and Discord/Slack actions.
Companion apps — macOS menu bar app + iOS/Android nodes.
Onboarding + skills — onboarding-driven setup with bundled/managed/workspace skills.

Security model (important)

Default: tools run on the host for the main session, so the agent has full access when it is just you.
Group/channel safety: set agents.defaults.sandbox.mode: "non-main" to run non-main sessions inside sandboxes. Docker is the default sandbox backend; SSH and OpenShell backends are also available.
Typical sandbox default: allow bash, process, read, write, edit, sessions_list, sessions_history, sessions_send, sessions_spawn; deny browser, canvas, nodes, cron, discord, gateway.
Before exposing anything remotely, read Security, Gateway exposure runbook, Sandboxing, and Configuration.

Apps (optional)

The Gateway alone delivers a great experience. All apps are optional and add extra features.

If you plan to build/run companion apps, follow the platform runbooks below.

macOS (Nodmix.app) (optional)

Menu bar control for the Gateway and health.
Voice Wake + push-to-talk overlay.
WebChat + debug tools.
Remote gateway control over SSH.

Note: signed builds required for macOS permissions to stick across rebuilds (see macOS Permissions).

iOS node (optional)

Pairs as a node over the Gateway WebSocket (device pairing).
Voice trigger forwarding + Canvas surface.
Controlled via nodmix nodes ….

Runbook: iOS connect.

Android node (optional)

Pairs as a WS node via device pairing (nodmix devices ...).
Exposes Connect/Chat/Voice tabs plus Canvas, Camera, Screen capture, and Android device command families.
Runbook: Android connect.

From source (development)

Use pnpm for source checkouts. The repository is a pnpm workspace, and bundled plugins load from extensions/* during development so their package-local dependencies and your edits are used directly. Plain npm install at the repo root is not a supported source setup.

For the dev loop:

git clone https://github.com/nodmix/nodmix.git
cd nodmix

pnpm install

# First run only (or after resetting local Nodmix config/workspace)
pnpm nodmix setup

# Optional: prebuild Control UI before first startup
pnpm ui:build

# Dev loop (auto-reload on source/config changes)
pnpm gateway:watch

If you need a built dist/ from the checkout (for Node, packaging, or release validation), run:

pnpm build
pnpm ui:build

pnpm nodmix setup writes the local config/workspace needed for pnpm gateway:watch. It is safe to re-run, but you normally only need it on first setup or after resetting local state. pnpm gateway:watch does not rebuild dist/control-ui, so rerun pnpm ui:build after ui/ changes or use pnpm ui:dev when iterating on the Control UI. If you want this checkout to run onboarding directly, use pnpm nodmix onboard --install-daemon.

Note: pnpm nodmix ... runs TypeScript directly (via tsx). pnpm build produces dist/ for running via Node / the packaged nodmix binary, while pnpm gateway:watch rebuilds the runtime on demand during the dev loop.

Development channels

stable: tagged releases (vYYYY.M.D or vYYYY.M.D-<patch>), npm dist-tag latest.
beta: prerelease tags (vYYYY.M.D-beta.N), npm dist-tag beta (macOS app may be missing).
dev: moving head of main, npm dist-tag dev (when published).

Switch channels (git + npm): nodmix update --channel stable|beta|dev. Details: Development channels.

Agent workspace + skills

Workspace root: ~/.nodmix/workspace (configurable via agents.defaults.workspace).
Injected prompt files: AGENTS.md, SOUL.md, TOOLS.md.
Skills: ~/.nodmix/workspace/skills/<skill>/SKILL.md.

Configuration

Minimal ~/.nodmix/nodmix.json (model + defaults):

{
    agent: {
        model: "<provider>/<model-id>",
    },
}
