Local setup is useful. Silent access to money is not.
Walkthrough
Give it a working folder
A project directory, not your whole home folder. Configs, drafts, and scripts live there.
Let it install what you approved
CLIs, folder structure, config files, and scripts you have read. Browser wizards when there is no API.
Keep money and keys off the desk
No password manager, no banking, no irreversible spend. Updates and backups stay on a calendar, not on hope.
You keep
- Passwords and passkeys
- 2FA codes
- Anything you would not want invented
