Apps on LastDB

LastDB is the database. Apps are tools that use it. Same machine, no account.

[Install →] — one copy-paste block on the home page. This page is only what each app is for.

HOW ROUGH IS THIS? ranked by readiness

The whole stack is still product alpha (macOS Apple Silicon, local-only). Below is a deliberate ranking: #01 is the thing we’d hand a stranger first; lower ranks are rougher or not in the default installer. Stages are the product signal. The ~% bars are only a gut sort key — not SLAs, coverage, or failure rates.

ALPHA

Daily drivers. Sharp edges OK — install these first.

DOGFOOD

In the installer; more papercuts; no support promise.

OPTIONAL

Only when available / when you need the capability.

EARLY

Real for us; not in the default installer yet.

ALPHAInstall these first — we run them every day.

Brainbrain

Longest-lived dogfood. Public CLI + MCP. Still alpha edges.

~75%

LastDBbrew · lastdbd

The database itself. Homebrew primary. Whole product is still alpha.

~70%

Kanbankanban

Daily work board + MCP. Public repo still named fkanban.

~70%

DOGFOODIn the default installer — more papercuts than Alpha.

Last Stackinstaller + skills

How you install everything. Agent skills, not a data app.

~60%

Situationssituations

Ops posture for agents. Critical for us; thinner stranger story.

~55%

Dogfood Graphlocal web app

Manual UX evidence tool. Useful, not a polished product.

~45%

OPTIONALSkip unless you need it — only when the repo is available to you.

LastSecretslastsecrets

Secret refs (lastsecrets://…). Often private; not required for a first try.

~40%

EARLYReal for us — not in the one-command installer. Come back later.

Routinesroutines

Scheduled agent jobs. Our fleet tooling, not stranger onboarding.

~35%

LastGitlastdb://…

Git on LastDB. Explicitly excluded from the public bundle for now.

~30%

CodeRingscoderings

Repo size vs claimed complexity. No public install story yet.

~25%

Discovery—

Friends-of-friends discovery. Not a public try path.

~25%

First try: ranks #01–#03 (Brain, LastDB, Kanban). Add Situations if you run agents. Skip everything Early until you’re curious. Skip LastSecrets unless you need secret refs.

DAILY APPS in the default installer

BRAIN alpha · command: brain

Long-term memory. Decisions, designs, notes, “why we did it.” Search later in plain English.

brain concept new caching --title "Cache" --body "chose LRU because …"
brain ask "what did we decide about caching?"
brain list --type concept --limit 5

KANBAN alpha · command: kanban

Work board. Cards move through columns. Live status of what’s in flight — not the reasoning (that goes in Brain).

kanban add ship-login --title "Ship login" --tags auth
kanban move ship-login doing
kanban list

SITUATIONS dogfood · command: situations

Operational reality right now. Incidents, freezes, “don’t touch CI.” Agents check this before changing shared systems.

situations list
situations preflight --action enable-ci --repo my-org/my-repo

DOGFOOD GRAPH dogfood · local web app

Manual product-test evidence. Expected UX as a graph, plus what humans actually saw. Not an automated test runner.

cd ~/lastdb-apps/dogfood-graph && npm run dev

THE LAST STACK dogfood · installer + agent skills

Not a data app. The helper from the home-page install. Also teaches coding agents how to use Brain and Kanban.

cd ~/.last-stack && git pull && ./setup

LASTSECRETS optional / dogfood

Secret refs. Store a value once; everywhere else keep lastsecrets://…. Included when the public repo is available; otherwise skip.

printf '%s' "$TOKEN" | lastsecrets put api-token --value-stdin
lastsecrets ref api-token

EARLY real, not in the default installer

ROUTINES early

Scheduled agent jobs (Claude / Codex) with a local registry and launchd daemon.

git clone https://github.com/EdgeVector/routines && cd routines
bun install && bun run install-shim
routines list

LASTGIT early

Git hosting on LastDB. Remotes look like lastdb:///my-repo.

CODERINGS early

Repo size vs the complexity you claim the code should have.

DISCOVERY early

Friends-of-friends discovery without a central social graph in the cloud.

INSTALL ONE APP YOURSELF optional

Prefer not to use the stack installer? Install LastDB first:

brew install edgevector/lastdb/lastdb
brew services start lastdb

Then clone only what you want:

BRAIN

git clone https://github.com/EdgeVector/brain && cd brain
bun install && bun link
brain init --grant-consent

KANBAN

git clone https://github.com/EdgeVector/fkanban && cd fkanban
bun install && bun run install-cli
kanban init

Public repo is still named fkanban; the command is kanban.

SITUATIONS

git clone https://github.com/EdgeVector/situations && cd situations
bun install
ln -snf "$PWD/bin/situations" ~/.local/bin/situations
situations init
