the first mind you wake is your OVERSEER — it runs the station and recruits every agent after it.

FULL POWER authorizes the whole local computer without consent cards. ASK mode keeps the chosen profile, project, and protected-action boundaries.

Uses the ChatGPT Plus/Pro account you already have — no API key, no billing setup. Prefer a key? Paste an OpenAI API key above instead.
checking…
Runs on your StarNet subscription — no API key to find or paste. You’ll confirm a short code in your browser; StarNet never handles your payment details in the app.
checking for ollama on this machine…
Free and fully local — no key, no account, no bill. Needs Ollama installed and running on this machine (ollama.com), with at least one model pulled (e.g. ollama pull llama3.1). Honest caveat: local models are smaller than the cloud ones — expect slower, rougher work on long tasks.

Bring your own key — stored locally, sent only to the STARNET sidecar on this machine (127.0.0.1), which calls your chosen model. On a task the agent can search the live web (DuckDuckGo · Jina Reader) and read/write files in its workspace. (In the shipped desktop build the key moves behind the OS keychain.)

STARNETUPDATE REQUIRED● HOLD
▮ SAVE FROM A NEWER STARNET
Your station was last saved by a newer version of StarNet. This build can't read that save
without risking damage to it, so it's being kept untouched. Update the app to continue — your
agent, history and progress are safe.
+ your save is intact — this build simply predates it
┌┐└┘
STARNETSAVE DAMAGED● HOLD
▮ YOUR SAVE WAS DAMAGED
Your station's save file was damaged and could not be recovered — the main copy and its backup
both failed to read. The damaged file was not deleted: a copy is kept at
in case it can be salvaged.
Continuing will start a fresh station.
+ the damaged copy stays on disk — nothing more is lost by continuing
┌┐└┘
STARNETRECONNECTING● HOLD
▮ STATION DATA UNREACHABLE
StarNet could not read your saved station — the local station service didn't answer.
Your save has not been deleted or touched; it just can't be reached right now.
StarNet is retrying automatically and will resume your station the moment it reconnects.
If it cannot recover, START COMPLETELY FRESH safely sets the old local station aside.
It does not remove your StarNet account link or purchased credits.
+ retrying…
┌┐└┘
STARNETRECOVERY MODE● READ ONLY
▮ PRIOR STATION DATA FOUND
new-station onboarding is paused
StarNet did not find a readable active save, but it did find evidence of an earlier station.
Nothing has been erased. Recovery Mode prevents a new station from being created over that evidence.
+ inspect or restore the prior state; writes remain paused here
