Möbius

A personalized AI agent you self-host, which builds the tools you need and the interface they sit in

A Möbius strip is a surface with no inside or outside and no beginning or end. That is the idea behind Möbius, a self-improving personal AI agent you self-host that loops back on itself, with the agent, the server it runs on, and the apps it builds working as one system to be as useful to you as it can. Ask for a tool and the coding agent builds it as a small app right next to the chat (a news aggregator, a habit tracker, a 3D ISS viewer), no page reload. Each app can store data, run on a schedule, fetch from the web, and use AI on its own, and the same agent can rewrite the interface those apps sit in, from theme and layout to the controls around them.

It runs in a single Docker container, comes with a starter app store, installs to your phone like a native app, and keeps your data on a server you control. Fully recursive self-improvement is not here yet, a person stays in the loop. What works today is the agent and you improving it together, with the Memory and Reflection loop giving it a memory to build from, though the deeper self-audit pieces are still shallow.

You grow it from a chat. Ask for file upload and the agent writes the endpoint, the schema, and the UI, all in one conversation.

A few of the apps Möbius has built me in chat: an ISS tracker, a Brazil trip planner, a daily news digest, a Hacker News dashboard, an earthquake monitor, a habit tracker, and a drum machine.
The same new-chat screen in a range of looks, from a medieval manuscript to a deep-blue ambient theme to fully meme-worthy. The colors, fonts, and layout are CSS the agent rewrites, live immediately.
And the meme theme is alive. The rainbow drifts and the unicorns and emoji bounce across the screen, all from one prompt. The agent does not judge your taste.

What you can do with it

  • Build apps from the chat. Describe what you want; the agent writes the code, mounts it, and you use it next to the conversation.
  • Install from an app store. A starter pack of apps you install by pasting a URL, update with a tap, and tweak by asking, all of it yours to keep.
  • Use them anywhere. Save an app to your home screen and run it standalone; it keeps working offline and syncs when you reconnect.
  • Reshape the shell. Themes, layout, navigation model, fonts, all editable by asking.
  • Pick your provider. Claude Code or Codex for the coding agent, Gemini for image generation. Toggle in settings.
  • Recover from anything. A /recover route resets the shell while keeping your chats, apps, and data.
