Your house, your data, your rules.
Home Assistant made self-hosting mainstream. Nabu Casa made it convenient. ALFR3D is built the same way — a real platform running on hardware you own, with a hosted layer you can opt into, never the other way around.
A containerized microservices backend, a situational-awareness engine that actually knows what day it is and what's playing, and Nexus Launcher — an Android home screen built to talk to it directly.
No ad tier. Not now, not ever. That's not a pricing decision, it's a policy.
Nexus Launcher
A free-form spatial launcher for Android — no permanent dock, apps and ALFR3D surfaces open as free-floating windows on an infinite canvas. Double-tap search, a built-in terminal, live situational-awareness cards.
Free core, forever. A one-time unlock removes the ceiling — no subscription, because a launcher sitting on your own phone doesn't cost us a server bill to run.
ALFR3D Core
The backend. Kafka messaging, containerized services, a dashboard that actually looks like something you'd want on a wall panel — not a spreadsheet.
Stays free forever, stays self-hosted, stays local-first. This is the platform, not the product we're selling — think of it the way Home Assistant thinks of Home Assistant Core.
ALFR3D Cloud
Coming — Phase 3
A thin, dumb-pipe relay for remote access and push — it never sees your home's plaintext data. Reach your house from anywhere without opening a port on your router.
Benchmarked against Nabu Casa — a fair price for infrastructure we run, on top of a platform that costs nothing to run yourself.
ALFR3D Kit
A pre-flashed Pi appliance, built to order. Parked until Cloud proves there's real demand for it.
