Hi, I’m Pold.
I build software that runs in my own home – on my own hardware, without cloud or subscription. And I share it.
Most projects revolve around local AI, Home Assistant and tabletop game nights. Six of them work hand in hand: the Poldion family.
What I build for
Local, not cloud
Language models, transcription, images and face recognition run on your own GPU. Your data stays at home.
For the game table
From recording the session to the world wiki to the map on the table TV: tools for game masters who love their group.
For the home
Doorbell, heating, smart glasses, voice assistant: small building blocks that make Home Assistant a little smarter.
Poldion Self-Hosted
Overview and how it fits together →Six projects that work on their own and form a whole together: the OllamaProxy provides the language models, WhisperNotes records the game night, BasaltNotes keeps the world wiki, ImageGen paints maps and tokens, Tabletop Forge brings it all to the table – and FaceRec tells you who is at the door.
