How it works

One folder holds the business. One door guards it. Everything goes on the record.

Everything through one door.

Every action — from your AI, your apps, your customers, your devices — passes through one door, checked against your rules. Routine things happen on their own. Big things wait for your yes. Everything else is refused.

And whichever way it goes, it goes on the record — every sale, every promise, every change, permanently.

What's in the folder.

Your whole business is one folder on your machine: every record — forever. Your rules — written down. Your files. Your keys. Copy the folder and the whole business moves with you.

~/cell
├─ whale.db        # the record — every sale, every promise, every change
├─ ontology.yaml   # the rulebook — your rules, written down
├─ files/          # your documents · your photos · your paperwork
└─ secrets/        # your keys — never in anyone's cloud

It speaks hardware.

Printers, scanners, cameras, scales, sensors — edge devices are declared in your rulebook and connect through the same door as everyone else. Nothing plugs in around it.

A printer prints, a sensor reports, a camera records — each one declared, each one through the door. If it isn't declared, it doesn't get in.

A thermal receipt printer, barcode scanner, stainless scale, and environmental sensor arranged on a black work surface.
