AI writes the code in seconds. The loop around it — build, install, reproduce, describe what's wrong, get back to the agent — still takes hours. Yaver closes that loop.
The yaver agent runs on hardware you already own: a Mac, a Linux box, a WSL machine, a Pi, or a VPS. Your coding agent works there, against your real repo. Every other surface — phone, watch, TV, car, AR/VR, browser — is a remote control and a preview target for that one machine.
It runs on the AI subscription you already pay for — no token markup, and your code never leaves your machine.
iOS and Android are the deepest path today. Watch, TV, car, and AR/VR surfaces live in this repo and share the same core.
npm install -g yaver-cli
yaver auth
yaver serveOn a headless box (Pi, VPS, SSH-only), yaver auth --headless prints a short code and a URL you can open from any browser.
npm is the only supported install path, on macOS (Apple Silicon + Intel), Linux (x64 + arm64), and Windows via WSL2. It downloads a signed, notarized agent binary for your platform.
Then grab the app and pair it with that machine:

Open Yaver, pick a project from your dev box, preview it on your phone, shake to vibe-code — fix a bug, ship a small feature, or tweak a style — and a fresh bundle lands in seconds. One screen, real device, no extra hardware.
Install the CLI directly, or register Yaver as an MCP server so Claude Code, Codex, or opencode can drive your machine from chat. MCP does not need a global install first — npx pulls the server on first run.
# direct CLI
npm install -g yaver-cli
yaver auth
# or as MCP
# Claude Code
claude mcp add --scope user yaver -- npx -y yaver-cli yaver-mcp
# Codex
codex mcp add yaver -- npx -y yaver-cli yaver-mcp
# opencode
npx -y -p yaver-cli yaver mcp setup opencode
# then, in the agent chat:
call yaver_lazy_setupTo add Yaver to an existing Expo app, give the agent the app directory and ask it to call yaver_sdk_integrate. The direct deterministic equivalent is:
npx -y yaver-cli integrate --dir /path/to/app --framework expo --verify quickThis installs compatible dependencies, mounts the in-app Yaver surface, wires the Expo plugin, and verifies the project. It does not choose a bundle ID, configure your app's own authentication, deploy, or publish anything.
For a Yaver-generated Expo + Convex starter that needs AI, the agent can then call yaver_openrouter_integrate at the monorepo root. It adds an authenticated, cost-bounded HTTP/SSE seam and React Native stream helper while keeping the OpenRouter key server-side—no polling and no database write per token.
Already installed globally? yaver mcp setup claude-code (or codex / opencode) writes the same entry, and yaver auth auto-registers every installed runner on first sign-in. Yaver is published to the official MCP registry as io.github.yaver-io/yaver. Codex Desktop can also load the repo-local plugin in plugins/yaver.

<p align="center"> <img src="./assets/readme/architecture.svg" width="100%" alt="The yaver agent runs on your own machine and holds your repo, tasks, vault and builds. Surfaces connect directly over a LAN beacon and QUIC, falling back to Yaver Relay. A thin hosted plane carries identity and device discovery only."> </p>
yaver serve on your own machine.The CLI, agent, relay, and backend are all self-hostable. Client apps currently reach you through a thin hosted coordination plane for identity and device discovery; full client self-host is on the way.
For remote access, Yaver Relay is the default path. The free shared relay is for light personal use and has fair limits; the relay implementation is open source if you want to run your own. Relay Pro is the optional $9/month managed lane with higher account-wide transfer limits. It connects to the machine or VPS you already control; it does not include hosted compute or an AI subscription.
A solo developer can start with the open-source stack at $0.
| Component | Runs on | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Yaver CLI + agent | Your dev machine | $0 |
| Yaver surface apps | iOS / Android / watch / TV / car / AR/VR | $0 |
| Web dashboard | Browser | $0 |
| Backend on your own machine | Your Mac / Linux / WSL / VPS | $0 + your hardware |
| Yaver shared relay | Yaver-hosted, fair-use limited | $0 |
| Relay Pro | Managed account-private lane on shared relay hosts | $9/month |
| AI models (Ollama) | Your GPU or CPU | $0 |
The open-source stack includes the mobile app, CLI, agent, web dashboard, SDKs, and relay implementation. Yaver's shared relay is available with fair limits for getting started. Your coding agent brings its own login or subscription — Yaver never resells tokens.
V1 is focused on your own devices and self-hosted machines. Relay Pro is the only paid launch product; all client surfaces, browser/Hermes lanes, MCP and library integration, and the feedback SDK are included. Yaver does not sell a hosted coding workspace in this release.

Use exactly one local entrypoint:
./deploy/deploy.sh <target> [options]Targets are all, backend, cloudflare, ios, android, npm, and mcp with aliases listed by ./deploy/deploy.sh --help. The entrypoint delegates to the maintained vault-aware scripts and yaver deploy commands, but gives humans, agents, and MCP one path so deploys do not drift.
Deploys are owner-only. The script refuses group/other-writable repo or script paths before touching Convex, Cloudflare, App Store Connect, Play Console, npm, or MCP registry credentials.
Yaver is one monorepo — this one. Agent, CLI, mobile, watch, TV, car, AR/VR, web, relay, backend, and SDKs all live here and ship together. Splitting them would only buy version skew between surfaces that have to agree.
Everything else in the yaver-io org is a validation / use-case app — something whose only job is to exercise Yaver from the outside. Those are separate repos precisely because they must be clonable, buildable, and breakable on their own, exactly as a user's project is. If they lived in here they'd inherit this repo's tooling and stop being an honest test.
The rule: product code goes in this repo; anything that tests the product from outside gets its own repo.
The apps that prove Yaver works live in their own repos, not in this one. They are local-only todo apps — no backend, no accounts, no network — and they are deliberately boring, because they are the control.
The same todo app is built five ways. Yaver reaches each one differently, so when the loop feels different across stacks, it is the transport that differs and not the app:
| Repo | Stack | How Yaver reaches it |
|---|---|---|
| yaver-todo-rn | Expo / React Native | Hermes — the agent compiles an HBC bundle and the container swaps it in place |
| yaver-todo-kt | Native Android (Kotlin) | native-webrtc — runs on a build host, H.264 streamed to the phone, taps sent back |
| yaver-todo-swift | Native iOS (SwiftUI) | native-webrtc — same, macOS build host only |
| yaver-todo-flutter | Flutter / Dart | native-webrtc — Dart has no Hermes equivalent |
| yaver-todo-web | Next.js | dev server — HMR through Yaver's relay path |
Hermes is React-Native-only: native and Flutter apps compile to real binaries and can never be loaded into the Yaver container. That is why three of the five exist — they are the only honest way to exercise the streaming path.
They are separate repos so they can be cloned, built, and broken without touching this one. Each README states what works and what doesn't per stack, including where a feedback SDK does not exist yet.
