For homes, cabins, and smaller properties.
Understand my property.The operating system for resilient properties
A local-first AI system designed to help people understand, manage, automate, and improve the places they care for. It combines a local AI knowledge bank with property sensors, automation, resource management, and decentralized communication between nearby Steward OS systems.
Your property data stays local. The system continues operating without an Internet connection.
Currently in development · Expandable platform designed to grow with the property
Steward OS turns understanding into continuous operation — private by design, useful offline, and ready for the real world of remote properties, outages, and changing conditions.
Most software assumes the Internet is always available and that your data belongs in someone else’s cloud. Steward OS starts from the opposite assumption.
Core intelligence, the Civilizational Knowledge and Permaculture libraries, property data, sensors, and automation all run locally. Optional connectivity lets you reach online services, receive updates, or join wider networks when it is useful — without becoming dependent on them.
A short Resilience Quiz is a useful first pass on household and property readiness — the same continuity questions Steward OS is built to answer every day. Both the quiz and the libraries live under Resources.
The same philosophy applies to energy: every tier is designed for solar-powered, battery-backed operation so the system remains useful when the grid or Internet is not.
Property-specific intelligence plus the Civilizational Knowledge and Permaculture Knowledge libraries, running entirely on-site.
Environmental monitoring, equipment awareness, irrigation, pumps, vents, and actuators.
Peer-to-peer links between nearby properties. Core functions survive Internet and grid disruptions.
Knowledge bank. This is a carefully curated collection of publicly available archives, plus the permaculture curriculum Steward OS includes as its land-design corpus. Preference is given to open and public-domain material that can legally be archived offline. Steward OS uses items from the Civilizational Knowledge and Permaculture libraries only when the license allows commercial use. Always check the original source for the latest information and terms of use.
Coming soon. These are not small, medium, and large computers — they are levels of local autonomy. Start where you are and expand sensors, storage, automation, compute, and neighboring nodes over time.

A compact, highly efficient AI computer for homes, cabins, and smaller properties — designed to run continuously from a small solar-and-battery system.
Jetson Orin Nano Super · 7–25 W · 8 GBMore memory and compute so multiple AI workloads can run at once — for farms, homesteads, greenhouses, and larger rural properties.
Jetson Orin NX 16GB · 10–25 W · 16 GBSubstantially more memory and AI compute for large properties, agricultural operations, and connected rural communities.
Jetson AGX Orin 64GB · 15–60 W · 64 GBSteward OS is designed from the beginning to work peer-to-peer. Nearby properties can communicate directly through local mesh networks without requiring a centralized cloud service.
The result is a network where properties can cooperate without surrendering control of their data.
Every Steward OS system is designed around a simple principle: the technology should remain useful when circumstances change.
The system can use the Internet when it is available — but it doesn’t need the Internet to understand your property or operate its core functions.
Satellite Internet provides global connectivity; mesh provides local connectivity. Steward OS works with either — or neither.
Steward OS can connect through terrestrial broadband, cellular networks, or satellite Internet. Its core intelligence, knowledge, property data, and automation remain local — so loss of Internet connectivity does not mean loss of your operating system.
Every Steward OS tier is designed for solar-powered, battery-backed operation. Energy is not an afterthought — it is a first-class part of the system.
Steward OS doesn’t simply monitor energy — it can adapt its behavior to available energy.
The system can prioritize flexible workloads such as:
Steward OS automatically prioritizes critical property functions and reduces non-essential consumption. The solar system and AI become one integrated resource-management system rather than two separate products.
When the property is generating more electricity than it can use — and the batteries are fully charged — Steward OS can put otherwise idle computing capacity to work.
The system can automatically evaluate available compute opportunities and prioritize those with the best expected return, subject to the owner’s rules.
Steward OS considers available solar power → battery state → property demand → compute requirements → expected revenue → equipment limits before starting a workload.
When energy demand increases, the system automatically reduces or stops discretionary computing and returns capacity to the property. Essential functions and battery reserves always come first.
Steward OS is currently in development. The first systems will introduce local AI, the Civilizational Knowledge and Permaculture Knowledge libraries, property sensing, automation, and decentralized communication in an expandable platform designed to grow with the property.
