luccast/mike
luccast is reshaping Mike into a single-user desktop app that runs entirely on your own machine, no cloud required.
This fork takes Mike in a deliberately different direction: instead of a multi-user, cloud-backed legal assistant, luccast is rebuilding it as a local-only, single-player tool. The central bet is that a solo practitioner or small firm should be able to run Mike on one machine, with their data staying put.
The work so far is foundational - the kind of plumbing that has to land before anything else makes sense. Cloud dependencies are being swapped out for a local data layer, which reshapes how the whole app is meant to be deployed and used.
If you're curious about a self-hosted, no-account-required take on Mike, this is the fork to watch. Click through to GitHub for the current state of the rebuild.
What's in it
- Local-only single-user mode Mike reimagined as a desktop-style app for one person, with no cloud account or sign-in required.
- On-device data storage Your projects, documents, chats, and work product live in a local database on your own machine.
- Self-contained deployment Designed to run without the multi-tenant backend that upstream Mike assumes.
