## How a setup fits together

A setup has three pieces. The **server** is an always-on computer in your office or home that holds your files. You buy it and keep it. **Hermes Desktop** is the program you use to give the server work: open-source software from Nous Research, MIT license. We install it, pin a tested version and pair it. The **Kodros iPhone app** handles quick questions and approvals away from your desk.

The order is fixed: server and backups, then the AI, then one approved job. A backup counts only after we restore from it with you watching. Connectors such as email or calendar come one at a time, read-only at first. See [Security](https://meshvault.ai/privacy#security). [Getting started](https://meshvault.ai/docs/getting-started#week) walks the install week.

## Where to go next

[Getting started](https://meshvault.ai/docs/getting-started): the install week, restore test, pairing and a first job. [Security](https://meshvault.ai/privacy#security): pairing, connectors and reporting a problem. [Skills](https://meshvault.ai/skills): the starter pack.

## Questions

Do I need the iPhone app? No. Hermes Desktop is the main way in. The iPhone app adds quick questions and approvals on the go. It is a public TestFlight beta: [testflight.apple.com/join/BjFNCF45](https://testflight.apple.com/join/BjFNCF45).

Can a job leave my server? Only if you allow it. You choose which of four reasons, if any, may send a job to an outside AI service. They are listed in the [Security](https://meshvault.ai/privacy#security) section.

What do I keep if I leave? You keep the hardware, files and memory. They are yours from day one.
