ownbox

The developer kit for Ownbox: write a machine for an Ownbox, and run it on your own computer against a local Ownbox.

pip install ownbox
ownbox new visit-reminder      # a starter machine, in ./visit-reminder
ownbox run visit-reminder      # run it once, and read what it would have done
ownbox example                 # two whole machines to start from: a med spa's report, a gym's check-ins

A machine is a folder: machine.yaml says what it may touch, and __init__.py is its code, written against from core import sdk. ownbox run starts it the way an Ownbox does, with the standard library and the SDK only, and answers every call from a local Ownbox:

• reads of people, conversations and drafts come from invented sample data, or from your machine's own fixtures/box.json;
• sends, spends and proposals are not made, and you read what they would have been, and what each approval would carry out once its owner says yes;
• the AI answers one fixed sentence;
• the internet is not reached. On an Ownbox, its owner allows a host before a test reaches it.

When it does what you meant, connect your Claude to your Ownbox (its Developers page has the one line) and ask it to send the machine there. Its owner says yes on Approvals before anything runs.

On a partner's Ownbox, one more yes: when the build is ready, Approve on its card sends it to Ownbox, and Ownbox reads the code and approves it before it installs there. The card says when it is waiting for Ownbox.
