Shared technical agreements
Offband protocols describe the portable boundaries a system can implement without being tied to one product.

Local systems that carry work forward.
Offband builds software, tools, and protocols for teams whose technical work needs to retain its decisions, boundaries, and evidence across people, systems, and agents.
Local-first
Inspectable
Human-controlled
01
Operational need
Technical work should not lose its shape when it changes hands.
Teams should not have to reconstruct decisions every time work moves to a different person, tool, or agent. The useful context is more than a longer prompt or an event log.
- 01 Decisions need a durable home.
- 02 Interfaces need clear ownership.
- 03 Changes need evidence someone can inspect.
FlowOS
A local record system for agent work.
FlowOS runs beside an agent as a local record system. It keeps decisions, standards, evidence, issues, and handoffs in a project workspace so later work can recover the context it needs.

How the surfaces fit together
Protocols define the agreement. Apps and tools make it usable.
Focused working systems
Applications provide complete, named surfaces for a particular kind of work, including FlowOS and native Mac utilities.

Developer and operating tools solve focused problems without claiming ownership of the broader system.
