HOW IT WORKS
Three steps to your fleet
Define the mission
Set company goals cascading to projects and tasks. Every agent knows the objective.
Deploy the fleet
Register edge devices, assign agents — cloud and local. Your Tailnet defines the boundary.
Monitor and govern
Dashboard, approvals, cost control, live telemetry. You're the board.

Adaptable
PGlite for zero-config, PostgreSQL for scale. Local or cloud. Your infrastructure, your rules.
Open Source
MIT licensed. Fork it, extend it, self-host it. No vendor lock-in, no phone-home.
TEMPLATES
Pre-built fleet configurations
Coming soon — one-click deployment templates for common edge scenarios.
Smart Home Fleet
Manage home automation agents across Pis and phones

GOVERNANCE
You're the board
Every agent action can require approval. Set policies, review decisions, maintain control.
Agent Cloud-Writer requests approval to:
main Active Policies
- PRs require human approval
- Cost > $10 requires review
- Edge deployments need device-owner sign-off
WHAT SEACLIP IS
More than an orchestrator
An AI fleet commander
Coordinate dozens of agents across cloud and edge from a single dashboard.
A device fleet manager
Register, monitor, and health-score every device in your mesh.
A privacy-first platform
Your data stays on your network. Local agents never leave your Tailnet.
A goal-driven system
Every agent action traces back to a company objective.
A governance layer
Approvals, cost limits, and audit trails for every decision.
A developer tool
Git-native PR workflows, Claude Code integration, and a CLI that feels like home.
PROBLEMS SOLVED
Sound familiar?
- 01
“My agents have no structure”
Hierarchical goals, projects, and tasks give every agent a mission.
- 02
“I can't track what agents are doing”
Real-time heartbeats, audit logs, and WebSocket events.
- 03
“Agent costs are a black box”
Per-run token attribution with budget enforcement.
- 04
“I need human oversight”
Typed approval workflows for any agent action.
- 05
“I have multiple teams”
Multi-company isolation on a single instance.
- 06
“My agents need different backends”
Seven adapters: Claude, Ollama, SeaClaw, Codex, Process, HTTP, Telegram.
- 07
“My edge devices run agents but I have no visibility”
Edge mesh gives you real-time telemetry, health scores, and auto-reassignment. SeaClip Exclusive
- 08
“I can't trust cloud APIs with sensitive data”
Environment isolation keeps local agents on your Tailnet. Cloud agents stay in the cloud. SeaClip Exclusive

WHAT SEACLIP IS NOT
Clear boundaries
Not a chatbot
A fleet orchestrator that manages agents, not conversations.
Not a model provider
Bring your own models. We connect them.
Not a cloud-only platform
SeaClip runs where your data lives. Edge devices, air-gapped networks, home labs.
Not a no-code tool
Built for developers. CLI-first, Git-native, fully extensible.
Not a monitoring dashboard
Monitoring is one feature. Orchestration is the mission.
Not Paperclip
Forked with love, re-architected for the edge. Hub-spoke, device mesh, environment isolation.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How is SeaClip different from Paperclip?
SeaClip is a fork of Paperclip, re-architected for edge-native deployment. We added hub-spoke architecture, edge device mesh, environment isolation, device telemetry, health scoring, hub federation, and a spoke thin-client. The core orchestration DNA is shared — everything else is built for the edge.
What devices can run as spokes?
Anything that runs Linux or macOS: Raspberry Pi, Jetson boards, Mac, Linux servers, and even phones. The SeaClaw C binary is just 709KB and runs on minimal hardware.
Do I need Tailscale?
Recommended but not required. Tailscale provides zero-config mesh networking and is the default trust boundary for environment isolation. Without it, you can still use SeaClip with any VPN or direct network access.
Can spokes run without internet?
Yes. Local agents (Ollama, SeaClaw, Process) work fully offline. Cloud agents (Claude, HTTP) need connectivity. Environment isolation ensures local agents never attempt external calls.
How does environment isolation work?
Agents are tagged as 'cloud' or 'local'. Routing guards enforce that local agents only communicate within your network, and cloud agents only reach external APIs. The boundary is your Tailnet.
What's the SeaClaw binary?
A 709KB C11 binary that runs on edge devices as a lightweight agent runtime. It reports telemetry, executes tasks, and communicates with the hub over HTTP.
Is SeaClip production-ready?
SeaClip is in active development. The core orchestration, edge mesh, and hub federation are functional. We recommend it for development, testing, and home lab use. Production hardening is ongoing.
How do I contribute?
Fork the repo, pick an issue, and open a PR. We use conventional commits and require passing typecheck and tests. See CLAUDE.md in the repo for full coding conventions.
