LAST DB

Own your data. For good.

One local database on your machine. Apps talk to it. Nothing requires an account.

Alpha — macOS Apple Silicon today.

WHAT IT IS

Today every app builds its own silo: notes in one place, tasks in another, secrets somewhere else. LastDB inverts that. Your data lives in one encrypted database you run yourself. Applications become thin clients of your database — not permanent custodians of a copy.

LASTDB

The database. One process on your Mac. Your data stays there.

APPS

Tools that use it — memory, boards, secrets, and more. Same data, different jobs.

GET IT The only install path you need

You need Homebrew and Bun. Then one installer gives you LastDB and the daily apps:

1 — BUN skip if you already have it

curl -fsSL https://bun.sh/install | bash

2 — INSTALL LASTDB + APPS

git clone https://github.com/EdgeVector/last-stack ~/.last-stack
~/.last-stack/setup
~/.last-stack/bin/last-stack-install-apps

That runs brew install for LastDB, downloads Brain / Kanban / Situations / Dogfood Graph (and LastSecrets when available), and puts their commands on your PATH.

3 — START + INIT

brew services start lastdb
brain init --grant-consent
kanban init

Optional: situations init and lastsecrets init if you want those too.

4 — TRY IT

kanban list
brain concept new hello --title "Hello" --body "my first note"
brain ask "what did I just write?"

Database only (no apps)? brew install edgevector/lastdb/lastdb then brew services start lastdb.

WHAT YOU GET

BRAIN memory

Long-term notes and decisions. Ask later in plain English.

KANBAN work board

Cards that track what’s actually in flight.

SITUATIONS ops posture

What’s true right now before agents touch shared systems.
