What RoachNet is

A home base for your brain when the network taps out.

RoachNet keeps the important things close: where you’re going, what you’re working on, and the ideas you don’t want to lose in some cloud tab.

Local Runtime

Bring your stack home.

Run models, tools, and services in a local runtime that actually lives on your desktop instead of somebody else’s data center.

RoachClaw

Local AI that knows your machine.

RoachClaw glues OpenClaw and Ollama into one sane local AI setup, with a fast default model for your box.

Command Deck

Everything at a glance, no juggling.

A focused, keyboard-first view for maps, AI, services, and what your machine is up to.

Offline Maps & Vault

Your reference shelf, unplugged.

Routes, checklists, lyrics, patch notes, and weird ideas at 3 AM all live in one place instead of random folders.

Contained Install

An AI stack in a folder, not smeared across your OS.

RoachNet keeps the app, data, workspace, and services grouped together so you can back it up, move it, or nuke it in one go.

Screens

What life with RoachNet actually looks like.

Three main views hold your world together when the network stops pretending to be reliable.

⌘K Search maps, chat, runtime
Command Deck Everything at a glance.
Maps Offline ready
Vault Contained sources
Command Deck

Your cockpit.

One keyboard-first workspace for launching AI, watching status, and jumping between maps, chat, and your vault without tab hell.

“Summarize the latest notes.” Running locally. Qwen is ready.
Ollama OpenClaw Default model
RoachClaw

Your local AI rail.

Kick prompts to a fast on-device model for day-to-day work. When you need something heavier, route that out on your terms, not by default.

Offline map pack Studio notes Session checklist
Offline Maps & Vault

The “I’m-glad-I-saved-that” drawer.

Carry routes, studio notes, session checklists, and important docs in one contained vault so outages feel like “okay, cool” instead of “welp.”

Where RoachNet shines

Built by someone who’s been burned by bad Wi-Fi more than once.

RoachNet is for people who still need their tools when the network is flaky, slow, or straight-up gone.

Studio days

The router is on its experimental phase again.

Keep reference docs, AI tools, notes, and routing maps in one offline-ready workspace. Your session doesn’t have to care what the ISP is doing.

Travel

Remote sessions on hotel Wi-Fi.

Bring maps, checklists, local AI, and your vault with you so a bad network just means slower memes, not blocked work.

Outages

Cloud tools paused? You don’t have to be.

RoachNet runs on your machine, so your work keeps moving when hosted tools slow down, rate-limit, or disappear for maintenance.

Why RoachNet

Built for people who keep going.

Producers, engineers, and builders who want their tools to show up every time they do, no matter the network.

One calm control center.

RoachNet stays out of your way until you need it, then gives you exactly what you need, fast.

Local models first. Your prompts still flow when the internet doesn’t.
Contained by default. Your stack stays grouped, portable, and easy to clean up when it’s time to start fresh.
Designed to disappear. It stays quiet until you need it, then acts like the home base you already trusted.
