Harbour · AI hosting
Built by yourOS. Run by it too.
Harbour puts the sites, shops and app backends you make with yourOS on a server of their own, on any domain you own. yourOS places it near your visitors, sets up your mail, keeps backups somewhere else and keeps watch. When it needs more room, it asks you first.
Make it here. We’ll keep it running out there.

Kept apart
Two servers, kept apart.
Your yourOS lives on its own private server, inside a private network. What you publish lives on another one, out on the open internet. yourOS reaches out to build, watch and back it up. Nothing reaches back in.
Your yourOS
- Your memory, journal and plans
- Your agents and their work
- Your mail, read and drafted
- Your files and photos
yourOS reaches out
- Builds
- Places
- Watches
- Backs up
- Collects mail
Nothing reaches back in. Harbour can’t see your yourOS.
Harbour
- Your sites, shops and private tools
- Your app’s backend and its data
- The mail server for your domain
- Your customers’ orders and sign-ins
If a site is ever attacked, your life isn’t on that server.
Visitors only ever reach Harbour. Your yourOS has no public door.
A busy shop can have a server of its own, so it never slows the rest.

Keeping watch
Roxy keeps watch.
Harbour checks every site, mailbox and app around the clock. When something goes wrong, yourOS fixes what it can first, then tells you what happened in plain words. No dashboards to read, and no alarm at 3 a.m. for something that’s already fixed.
How Roxy tells you
-
Someone was guessing passwords on your admin page. Blocked. Nothing got in.
-
Your shop stopped answering. Looking now.
-
The checkout had stalled. I restarted it, and both baskets went through.
-
Four times the usual visitors, from a post about the sage mugs. Everything’s holding.
-
Your domain renews with your registrar next month. Want a nudge the week before?

Room to grow
Room to grow, with your OK.
Every site starts on a small server. yourOS watches how busy it gets, and when it’s running short of room it tells you why and what it costs, then asks. When things go quiet, it tells you that too, so you can go back down.
- SmallNow A new site, a quiet shop, a club page.
- Medium A busy shop, a growing app, a team’s tools.
- Large Thousands of visitors at once.
- Larger Launch days, big apps, many sites.

How busy, every evening · last two weeks

22 Sep5 Oct
The shop’s been busy most evenings this week, and pages are starting to slow.
Moving up to Medium keeps it quick. I’ll show you the new monthly price first, and it takes about a minute, at 2 a.m., when nobody will notice.
Nothing changes size, or costs more, until you say yes.

Your three best weeks all followed a newsletter. Once a month: one glaze, one story, one photo from the kiln.
A “how it’s made” page
Visitors who see the studio page buy more often than those who don’t. There’s nothing on the kiln yet.

Questions

FAQ
Questions, answered.
The short answers to what people ask us most.
What is Harbour?
Harbour is AI hosting, run by yourOS. What you make with yourOS, like a site, a shop, an app’s backend or private tools for your team, goes live on a server of its own, on any domain you own. yourOS places it, sets up its mail, backs it up and keeps watch. It’s coming soon.
Is it the same server as my yourOS?
No. Harbour is a separate server on the open internet. Your yourOS stays on its own private server, inside a private network. yourOS reaches out to Harbour to build, watch and back it up, and Harbour can’t reach back in.
Do I need to know anything about servers?
No. Say what you want and where. yourOS picks the server, the place and the settings, and tells you in plain words what it did.
Can I use a domain I already own?
Yes, any domain, wherever you bought it. yourOS shows you exactly what to add, or adds it for you if you give it access at your registrar.
Can it run the email for my domain?
Yes. Mailboxes for you and your team, and shared ones like orders@ and help@, set up so your mail lands in inboxes, not spam. yourOS reads them with you in Fold and drafts replies in your words, and nothing is sent without your OK.
Can Roxy talk to the people who visit my site?
Yes. Put Roxy on your site and she answers your customers, typed or out loud, from your own pages, policies and stock: orders, bookings and questions. Behind a sign-in, your staff can ask her things too. She always says she’s an AI, and anything like a refund or a discount is handed to you.
Will it tell me how my site is doing?
Yes. Visitors, where they came from, what they read and what they bought, in plain words every week. Roxy also shows where you’re found in search engines and AI assistants, and the changes that would bring more people in, made in a preview for you to say yes to.
Will it upgrade the server without asking?
Never. Anything that costs more waits for your OK, with the reason and the price. It also tells you when things are quiet enough to go back down.
What happens if my site goes down at night?
yourOS fixes what it can straight away and tells you in the morning. If it can’t fix it, Roxy tells you at once, the way you’ve chosen.
Can it host the backend for my app on the App Store?
Yes. Accounts, data, push notifications and the API your app calls, and the server grows as your app does, with your OK.
Can I take my site somewhere else?
Yes. Your code lives in your own repository, and your data and mail can be exported whenever you like. Nothing is locked in.
What will it cost?
Harbour is coming soon, and its prices will be announced, in US dollars. Servers come in sizes, and you’ll always see the price before anything changes.
