SkyTwin: personal AI you can inspect, question, and run locally. It models preferences, explains itself, and gates actions behind a policy layer. Apache-2.0. Local by default—no silent remote fallback. Early preview, not a finished agent. Start with the screenshot walkthrough, then the fictional-data sample (no inbox, no key, can’t touch real accounts). Site has guides plus architecture/MCP docs. Feedback wanted on review-and-correct, what it should remember, and where it must ask first.

Could you build this?
Partial Creating a standard desktop wrapper (Electron/Tauri) with local LLM bindings is doable, but building a custom policy engine, formal verification layer, and auditable memory model requires sophisticated systems and AI safety design.
What it would actually take: Built with Tauri/Rust and local inference engines (llama.cpp/ONNX Runtime) alongside an embedded graph or vector database (e.g., SQLite/LanceDB) for structured preference storage. The hard engineering part is building a deterministic policy-gated execution harness that intercepts agentic actions and enforces strict security and spend constraints locally.
