Summon the
Goose.

Open source · Local-first · No lock-in · No surveillance

01 How it works

Three steps, one machine.

The installer is a single static script — the same for everyone. It never asks you to paste a key into a website: configuration happens on a local page served from your own machine.

01 Terminal

Run one command.

Paste the install command below into Terminal. It fetches the Mycroft repo and the tools it needs — git, Goose, Obsidian, Firecrawl, QMD.

02 Browser

Configure locally.

A configurator page opens in your browser, served from 127.0.0.1. Pick cloud or local, toggle plugins, choose your vault folder with a native picker, paste keys. Keys are verified live with each provider and written straight to ~/.config/goose/mycroft/.env — they never touch a remote server and never sit in your Downloads folder.

03 Goose

Meet Mycroft.

The installer scaffolds your vault, registers recipes and schedules, runs mycroft doctor, and opens Goose plus a personalized getting-started guide.

02 Before you start

Have these ready.

The configurator will ask for these keys. Grab them first and the whole install takes about five minutes. Everything optional can be added later by re-running the installer.

01 Web access

Firecrawl.required

Powers every web-capable recipe — the only permitted web-fetch tool in Mycroft. Free tier available.

02 Intelligence

A model.pick one

Cloud-first: Fireworks AI (recommended, ZDR by default, ~$6-40/mo) or Together AI (ZDR opt-in). Local-first: no key at all — a fine-tuned Qwen runs on your machine, 16 GB+ RAM.

Fireworks key → Together key →

03 Optional

Extras.skippable

Scoutpost (beat monitoring) · OSINT Navigator (10,000+ tools) · Junkipedia (misinformation tracking) · Apify (social scraping) · AgentMail (newsletter inbox)

Spotlight ships in the box. The OSINT investigation plugin and the Scoutpost monitoring skill are configured on the local page — no extra downloads.

03 The command

One line.
Then the browser.

The installer is a static, reviewable bash script — read it before you run it. No personalized blobs, no keys baked into downloads.

macOS & Linux. Windows via WSL2. Prefer a file? The ZIP contains a tiny install.command that fetches and runs the same canonical script — double-click it on macOS (right-click → Open the first time).

Downloaded. Extract the ZIP and double-click install.command. macOS will warn about an unverified file the first time — right-click the file, choose Open, then Open again. It fetches and runs the same script as the one-line command above.
