Self-hosting

Run the daemon headless, and bring your own relay.

The daemon, protocol, and CLI are open source (MIT). You can run the daemon headless and even self-host the relay — the paid service is the hosted convenience.

Headless daemon

# on a Raspberry Pi or server
npx kitchen-table daemon --workspace ~/apps
kt pair # prints an admin pairing code

Open https://<host>.local:8443/_kt/admin in a browser and enter the code to manage the device — no desktop app required.

Self-hosting the relay

The relay protocol is open. Run your own edge and point apps at it with kt relay --endpoint. Strict mode's guarantees hold regardless of who runs the edge, because TLS terminates in your daemon.
