📓 Canvas Notebook

Canvas Notebook combines a file workspace, editor, terminal, AI chat, automations, email, to-dos, and creative media tools in one container-first application. The agent can work directly with the files and tools you make available instead of living in an isolated chat window.

It is built for technical users, freelancers, creators, and small teams who want:

• 🏠 a workspace on infrastructure they control
• 🤖 a persistent agent that can read, write, search, and run tools
• 🔑 their own AI provider and API keys instead of a mandatory model subscription
• ⏱️ scheduled workflows that keep running when their laptop is closed
• 🧩 an extensible system based on skills, MCP servers, and integrations

Canvas Notebook is an AI workspace, not a replacement for an AI coding IDE. It is strongest when the work spans files, research, content, email, assets, and recurring operational tasks.

🚀 Quick start

Linux / VPS — recommended

Use a fresh Ubuntu or Debian server with sudo access. The installer can install Docker, configure the app, register the host-side management CLI and systemd service, and optionally set up Caddy for HTTPS.
