Ashor is

~ ashor --local-first_

Local-first isn't a policy here. It's the architecture.

Ashor is a native desktop application (Rust/Tauri) whose core — including its entire API surface — runs in-process on your machine, bound to loopback. There is no vendor cloud in the data path, no telemetry, no analytics, and no account server with opinions about what you're allowed to do. The Cortex stack behind it is infrastructure you run: your mail rails, your DNS, your VPN fabric, your payment rails.

Capabilities

01

Mail: store local, relay hardened.

Your complete mail store resides on your desktop. MailCircuit provides the relay and security layer — inbound screening, threat filtering, secure relay — with archiving into a store you own and can grep.

02

Web publishing from your desk.

Site content is authored and stored locally, published to hosting you control. The canonical copy is the one on your machine.

03

Sovereign wallet + payment rails.

Client-side key custody. BTC, ETH, DASH, USDT, ZANO — plus card rails through CortexPayments when you're selling, without ceding the customer relationship.

04

Comms on private rails.

Voice calling, text, and SMS carried over your own infrastructure rather than a platform's.

05

Collaboration without a landlord.

A private collaboration system for teams and families — shared work on shared infrastructure that one of you actually owns.

06

Data hygiene as a first-class function.

Deterministic history organization across your data: email archiving, and browser-cookie quarantine — cookies swept into a directory you designate, inspectable and disposable on your terms.

07

Encryption at rest.

File stores and message stores encrypted at rest.

08

A self-healing private fabric.

CortexVPN: a relay/P2P fabric with a modern authenticated-encryption transport. Sessions detect desynchronization and recover in place — automatically, without operator action. That behavior is field-proven, not aspirational.

09

Authoritative DNS you operate.

CortexNS: your names, served by nameserver infrastructure under your control.

10

Multi-transport, including off-grid.

WiFi, 4G, 5G, and LoRa. Long-range LoRa links extend the fabric where there is no infrastructure at all, and LoRa-based internet services carry essential traffic over it.

11

Weather stations.

Ingest telemetry from your own weather stations into your local store — your property's conditions, recorded on your hardware.

12

PI BOT: signal-driven trading, closed loop, your rails.

An automated trading bot wired into your own intelligence layer: signal generation runs in your mesh, PI BOT executes, and results feed back into your system's learning loop. Strategy, keys, and trade history never leave your infrastructure — there is no third-party platform in the loop to front-run, mine, or monetize your activity.

13

Supervised agents, accountable by design.

AI engines and agents run under explicit supervision: actor identity attached to every action, full recording, start/stop authority and the killswitch in the operator's hands.

14

Builds you can verify.

Developer-ID-signed releases with a reproducible-build discipline behind them. The binary you run is checkable against what was shipped.

Waitlist

Pre-launch. The waitlist gets launch notice and early access first. One field.
