Preview status and license

any is a developer preview. The data model, the HTTP API and the on-disk format can still change between releases, and a breaking wire change is absorbed by bumping the /v1/ prefix rather than by a migration. Use a separate account and data root for experiments.

License

any, anyrt and the SDKs they build on (any-sync, any-store, any-sync-sdk) are released under the MIT license.

What runs on your device

The any binary is the server and the CLI: any run owns the any-store database, the search index and the sync engine; every other any <cmd> is an HTTP client of it. The companion anyrt runtime executes programs, agent sessions and triggers in a wasm cage against that server. Standalone, they are two processes; a host app can embed both (Install, anyrt, Embedding anyrt).

The server binds to loopback. Its API serves the account loaded into that process and currently has no per-caller authentication — with the plan to ship proper auth and access capabilities support. It is designed to be used by software on the same device. Security model →

Offline behavior

Database operations work against local state. Sync needs a reachable peer. Fetching an uncached file needs a source that holds its bytes. Calling an external model or connector needs that service to be available. Scheduled programs need a device with the anyrt runtime running. Local-first →
