the operating system for solo founders
Clone yourself.
Run several businesses, dozens of projects, and a fleet of agents without re-explaining yourself to any of them. Give your agents dedicated computers so they work in parallel, while one You.md Brain keeps identity, skills, projects, goals, and portable checkpoints aligned across all of it.
One Brain. Multiple places to work.
A user-owned Mac, Linux box, or VPS stays purpose-built for the project it runs. You.md carries the durable context between them—not raw vendor sessions.
the founder layer
An operating system for running everything at once.
One founder, several businesses, dozens of projects, and a fleet of agents working in parallel. The hard part is not the model — it is that every session starts from zero. You.md is the layer that removes the reset.
Every agent starts knowing you
IdentityOne profile, read over MCP, the API, or the CLI. No session begins by asking who you are or what you are building.
Your conventions travel with the work
StandardsSkills and stacks carry your agent instructions, folder structure, and tooling choices onto every machine and project.
Projects stay current, not re-explained
ContextProject brains, goals, tasks, and portable checkpoints keep their meaning when the next task picks up somewhere else.
It keeps itself aligned in the background
ReconciliationA scheduled reconciler reviews what changed across your machines and resolves the drift on its own, with cost and conflicts on the record.
how it works
A second brain for all your other second brains.
Your notes, your repos, your project docs, your agent instructions — they already exist, scattered across tools that do not talk to each other. You.md is the layer above them that every agent reads first.
- 01
Connect GitHub
Signing in with GitHub is step one and account creation at the same time. It is also how your Brain gets a home you own.
- 02
Or install the runtime
One command on any Mac, Linux box, or VPS. It authenticates, syncs, and leaves a daemon running so your agents stay current.
- 03
Or just start talking
Chat with the You Agent right now and let it assemble your context as you go. Nothing to set up first.
A repo your agent keeps, and you own.
Connecting GitHub gives your Brain a real home: a repository the You Agent maintains for you — identity, standards, project context, and decisions, versioned like everything else you build.
you.mdthe identity every agent reads firststandards/the conventions your projects inheritprojects/what each one is for, and where it stands
It is a normal repository. Clone it, read it, take it with you.
on your machine
You already have a folder for every agent. This is the one they share.
Skills that update themselves, schemas that stay compatible as tools change, and one private API surface every agent can reach — synced across every machine you own.
One input, not ten places.
Say it once and unstructured. The brain dump files it as the task, the memory, and the project note — so capturing a thought never means deciding where it goes first.

Every one of these is someone an agent already knows.
A person, and the form an agent reads them in. Yours takes one command.
why computers
The bottleneck is not the model. It is where the work can happen.
Agents need capacity and context. Dedicated computers provide the capacity; you.md makes the context portable and consistent.
parallel bandwidth
Several agents can make progress at once instead of queueing behind one laptop, account, or project setup.
purpose-built environments
Keep each computer close to its codebase, credentials, dependencies, and the work it is meant to do.
one durable brain
Identity, skills, projects, goals, and revision-bound checkpoints stay understandable wherever the next task runs.
one brain, aligned work
Context that follows the work, not a single session.
Connect your own machines. Keep the useful things aligned: operating preferences, skills, project context, goals, credentials, and portable checkpoints.

ownership
A brain this useful should belong to you.
Your computers, not ours
Work runs on machines you already own — a Mac, a Linux box, a VPS. We coordinate them; we do not rent them to you.
Secrets never travel in the clear
Moving a project's .env.local between your machines encrypts it on the client. The decryption key never reaches the server, and the handoff burns after use.
Every machine is revocable
Each connected computer holds its own wrapped key. Revoke one and it loses access without disturbing the rest of your fleet.
Portable by construction
Your you.md is an open format you can export and take anywhere. The value is the coordination, so we do not need to hold your file hostage.
ready when your fleet is
Give your agents computers.
Use dedicated, user-owned computers for the work. Keep one You.md Brain for the identity, skills, projects, and portable checkpoints that make the next task make sense.
