Customers is the drag this week.
Re-engage the 3 stalled deals in Negotiation
Highest payoff this week — $68k is sitting in a stage that hasn't moved in 9 days.
From black to running.
Four moments stand between a fresh download and a business that runs itself. None of them ask for a credit card.
- 01
Install & open
Drag Excellent into Applications and open it. No account, no sign-in, no onboarding maze. It’s yours the moment it launches.
- 02
Your database is born
On first run it writes a single local file. That file is your whole business — people, money, work, as one record you own — and it stays on your disk. You decide what leaves it.
- 03
Bring your own model
Connect Claude, Codex, Gemini, or Grok in a click. The key is sealed on your machine and the agents bill to your account, never to ours.
- 04
The team comes online
Your agents boot, Pulse takes its first reading of the operation, and Play hands you the most valuable move. The lights are on. Welcome home.
What comes down with it.
- The whole data layer and every interface, bundled — no terminal, no setup
- The agent team operating your data locally, against a file on your disk
- An MCP server so the agent CLI in your terminal — Claude, Codex, Gemini, or Grok — can operate your data too
- Automatic updates, and it all works offline
macOS today. Windows and Linux are next.
One honest answer to what runs and what your machine needs. The macOS build is live; Windows and Linux are on the way — no dead buttons, no overclaiming.

The rest of the toolkit.
Three more ways to run Excellent alongside the desktop app — a menu-bar companion, the browser extension, and an MCP server for your terminal.
Menu Bar
Your usage and your agents, one glance up in the macOS status bar.
Browser extension
Read an API key off a dashboard you're already signed into — no copy-paste, keys never leave your machine.
MCP & CLI
Operate and build your business from the terminal, under the same ship / verify gate. One line installs the excellent command.
A signed build that comes online against a file on your machine.
The macOS build is Developer-ID signed and notarized by Apple, so Gatekeeper opens it clean. On first run it writes one local SQLite file and works against that — nothing uploads, no tenant, no account.

A database you own
Your whole business is a local SQLite file on your machine. No tenant, no upload, no lock-in — and it works offline.
Bring your own LLM key
You supply a Claude or OpenAI key. It's sealed on your machine and the agents bill to your account, not ours.
Encrypted at rest
Sensitive state lives in an encrypted vault with the key off-database, in your OS keychain — never written next to the data.
A signed audit chain
Every change is an event in a per-node hash chain with signed checkpoints. The history is tamper-evident by construction.
Open MCP server
Every operation is exposed over an open MCP server, so any agent — including your terminal Claude — can drive the same data.
Exportable, always
It's your data in an open format. Export the whole workspace any time — there's no door we can lock you out of.
The rest is yours.
Download Excellent and run your whole business on your own machine — offline, exportable, and impossible for us to lock you out of.
