Claude Code in your pocket
Chat with your own Claude over Telegram, wherever you are. It reaches your vault, mail and WhatsApp, and asks before acting with an Allow / Deny button.
A kit that sets up a personal AI system on your notes, tasks and plans, with Claude working on them around the clock. Built on files you own, running on a server you control. Claude does the setup; you approve each step.
Chat with your own Claude over Telegram, wherever you are. It reaches your vault, mail and WhatsApp, and asks before acting with an Allow / Deny button.
Everything you know lives in plain Markdown files that you own. If a better model comes along, point it at the same folder. Nothing needs exporting.
Your notes are plain files on your laptop, so your agent searches thousands of them in milliseconds. No database or app in the way, which makes it much faster and more capable.
Tasks, priorities and schedules live in your vault. Talk through what is on your mind, and Claude turns it into tasks, helps you prioritise and fits them into your week.
The iPhone Action Button or a Mac hotkey drops an idea, note or task into your Inbox in two seconds. Send it to your Telegram bot instead, and Claude starts on it straight away.
The server keeps going when you sleep: backups, health checks and tidy-ups out of the box. Add your own jobs with Claude, such as sorting mail, a morning briefing or background work on tasks.
Out of the box it works with the services below. Anything else with an API or MCP connector, Claude can add for you.
WhatsApp, Telegram, LinkedIn, Messenger, Instagram
Gmail, Google Calendar
Canvas courses, files and assignments
Strava, WHOOP
Apple Shortcuts, Raycast
Obsidian on Mac, iPhone and server
Hetzner, Tailscale, Backblaze B2, Pushover
Ask your Claude to add it
Claude can message you on Telegram when something needs you. Have it watch for what you care about, like sign-ups for a speaker you would love to hear. It messages you, you reply "sign me up", and before it acts it asks for your OK with one tap.
Describe it once: wake and bed times, focus blocks, sport, classes, friends. Claude schedules your tasks, assignments and readings around it, reads your calendars, says plainly when the week is overbooked, and writes the blocks into your calendar once you approve.
A North Star note holds what matters this quarter. Rate Health, Work, Play and Love, set an objective for each, then rank three to five priorities. Every prioritisation pass reads it first, so urgent never quietly beats important.
After Karpathy's LLM wiki: Claude compiles your notes, readings and lessons into a small wiki, and answers from what you yourself concluded, with citations.
Dated notes of your preferences, routines, people and goals. Claude adds to them as you work. Works with any model.
Plain files and readable code. Drop what you do not need; build what fits you.
It explains what the system does and where your data goes, and builds nothing until you say "I understand, continue". Progress is saved, so you can stop at any point.

Your notes, and mail and WhatsApp if you turn them on. Avoiding this would need a local model, which the kit does not support.
Reachable only through your private Tailscale network. Keys in locked files. Backups encrypted before they leave.
No access to your server, vault or accounts.
It uses an unofficial connection, which can get a number banned.
Shared for educational purposes only, provided as is, with no warranty of any kind. András Habsburg takes no responsibility for the kit or anything that results from using it, including data loss, security incidents, costs, account suspensions or broken services. Setting it up is your decision: your server, your accounts, your data, your bills, and the terms of every service you connect.
Every change to the live system is published here automatically, newest first, and the download is always the latest version. The history goes back to the first day, grouped into the phases it grew through.
Public, and updating itself. The current phase: new changes land here as they ship.
The kit gets a public home: an always-current download, the Start Here guide and this history. Every night the code is copied, stripped of anything personal, checked by two privacy scanners and only then published.
From storing things to planning them: mornings, weeks, trips and every inbox.
Messages from all three reach Claude, read-only, with a push when someone new writes.
Recorded meetings and talks are pulled from Wispr Flow and filed next to the project they belong to, readable with the laptop off.
Door-to-door search across every nearby airport, trains and ferries, with bags included in every price, and fare watches that push you when a price drops.
How long recurring things really take, door to door, and the rules for placing work into a day, so a week plan says plainly when it does not fit.
Documents go to Speechify in one request, to listen to on a walk or a commute.
A checker runs after every edit, so every task keeps a clear next step, whoever wrote it.
Ask when most of a group chat can do dinner, and Claude compares everyone's calendars in one request.
Overnight the server reads mail, chats and the calendar and guesses where every task stands. After the morning journal you confirm with one click per task, and today goes into the calendar.
A rolling log of what every Claude session worked on, so the next one picks up where the last stopped.
You message the vault from your phone, and it starts messaging you back.
The whole setup packaged for friends: a Start Here guide, a walkthrough, a vault template and the code, set up by Claude one approved step at a time.
The vault becomes a Telegram bot: voice notes, files, one thread per topic, and Allow / Deny buttons before anything goes out. For the first time the server messages you, starting with the weekly brief.
Everything that needs you from the maintenance side arrives as one note on Monday, instead of a stream of mail.
Course readings, cases and articles go to the Kindle in one request.
Ideas tagged during the week become one plan on Monday, with each item scoped by its own Claude session.
One note per person, with circles from inner to dormant, open loops as fields and nine views. Contacts, class lists and chats can be imported into it.
Morning and evening routine pushes to the phone, with the text kept in the vault so changing a routine means editing a note.
Urgent things go out as a push to the phone, and only what can wait goes to email.
Message your vault on WhatsApp and Claude answers, files and acts on it, with alerts if the connection drops.
The server runs its own test suite on a timer and catches jobs that run but were never committed, and tasks sitting where no view can see them.
Jobs run on the server with nobody watching, and the system starts checking itself.
A meditation and journal note is created every morning. It later becomes the start of the morning check-in.
Insights captured during the week are distilled into one running notebook, in the language they were written in.
Encrypted nightly backups to Backblaze B2 with restore tests, and a map of every folder that is rewritten from disk each week.
Claude distils your sources into topic articles, so a question about what you know or think is answered from your own material first.
Lectures, podcasts and videos are transcribed offline in about 99 languages, straight into the notes.
Every Canvas course, page, file and assignment archived into the vault with the text extracted, so Claude can say what a class covered and which readings are due.
One shared runner for every scheduled job, a heartbeat that watches the others, and a weekly all-green digest. The code gets its own history from here on.
Facts about you live in one Master Profile with sub-profiles, each fact dated so stale ones get questioned rather than trusted. A registry of property names stops two systems claiming the same one.
Everything moves into plain files on your own machine, and the first ways in: capture, mail, chat and fitness.
A note of when work can realistically happen, so plans respect energy, classes and commitments instead of assuming an empty week.
A registry of everything that can quietly stop being true, from login tokens to documents, each with how it gets checked.
Strava and WHOOP sync to the server, so training and recovery sit next to everything else.
Personal and school Gmail, readable and draftable by Claude from one place.
The iPhone Action Button and a Mac hotkey drop any thought into the Inbox.
Tasks become notes with a status, priority and next step, reviewed in one Obsidian layout. Dump, commit, prioritise, schedule becomes the rhythm.
WhatsApp becomes material Claude can read, so plans and promises made in messages stop getting lost.
A small Linux server keeps a synced copy of the vault and runs Claude Code around the clock, reachable only over a private network.
Notes, tasks and plans move out of Notion into an Obsidian vault of Markdown files, so an AI agent can search thousands of them locally in milliseconds instead of one API call per page.
