Prefer a book? The full FrontierStack manual covers every pane, every service category, fleet & remote management, security, automation and the AI Administrator; formatted to read on screen or print to PDF.
On macOS 27, the AI Administrator can run on Apple Intelligence. The on-device Apple foundation model works offline with no API key and no subscription. Cloud providers and local Ollama or LM Studio models still work exactly as before. How AI stays safe here
Install the app, let it self-check its runtime, then pick a preset. Link your first server over SSH, or start hosting locally with the New Site wizard.
Create Apache/Nginx virtual hosts, enable PHP per site, import legacy MAMP/XAMPP/Server.app sites, and issue trusted HTTPS with mkcert or Let's Encrypt.
Run MySQL and PostgreSQL, browse tables, and store per-instance passwords in a local .env vault so automation and the AI Administrator can use them safely.
Link servers over SSH and run diagnostics on any node or ad-hoc IP, using a saved sudo password through the helper.
Watch open ports, manage the macOS Application Firewall and pf, and run fail2ban/CrowdSec, with alerts when something changes.
See which SIEM platforms, collectors and security-data routes are configured across the fleet, connect cloud consoles securely, and watch self-hosted management endpoints.
Get an early warning before trouble becomes an outage; pushed to Telegram, LINE, Slack, Discord, ntfy, email, SMS, WhatsApp and more, on whatever messaging app you already check.
Save scripts to a palette and schedule them on cron, then drive FrontierStack from Apple Shortcuts, Siri and AppleScript; run scripts, start services, send alerts or ask the AI by voice, hands-free.
Use Network Check and local device discovery free without pairing. Fleet monitoring, incidents, notifications, power recovery, remote helpers, SSH and controls require a licensed FrontierStack desktop app.
Read macOS's built-in protections, hunt persistence, and run ClamAV, YARA and VirusTotal lookups, alongside the EDR Fleet board.
A full tool-using AI harness with guard-rails: debug servers in plain English and have it fix them; locally or on your remote machines over SSH; plus on-demand skills and agents you build yourself. Secrets stay local and are redacted from anything sent to a cloud model.
Connect Grok Bot, SlackBot handoffs and Buzz teams, then monitor Hermes Bot Mode, Amp, DeepSeek Harness Alpha, T3 Code and other agent runtimes.
Base presets replace the visible set to match a use-case; additions layer extra modules on top. Show All restores everything.
Browse 500+ services by category, install self-hosted ones via Homebrew/Docker/pip, or connect cloud ones with API credentials kept in the Keychain.
FrontierStack installs, monitors and secures services on this Mac and on linked servers.
