Umbrel Pro has been a labor of love in the truest sense. We've been building this for over a year. The level of obsession that went into the materials, the design, the thermals, and the tiniest details is absolutely insane. It feels like pure magic the moment you hold it, pop open that magnetic lid, and slide in your SSDs. The team poured absolutely everything into making today a reality. So incredibly grateful to be working with such a world-class group of people.
Introducing Umbrel Pro. The ultimate home cloud server. Order now for $699 / 599 € / £529. Ships worldwide, Feb 9.

1/ Bark Wallet is now on the @umbrel app store. A number of adventurous users have already been installing the app and making payments, and with everything running smoothly, it's time for a proper introduction.

It's been a long time coming, but we're finally live. On mainnet. Real bitcoin. This is absolutely the easiest way to add self-custodial bitcoin payments to your app, with support for all the networks that matter.
SECOND IS NOW ON MAINNET. Bark, our implementation of the Ark protocol, is available for anyone to start making bitcoin payments. Included in the launch are our mainnet Ark server, the Bark SDK, and multiple wallets to try from day one.

Most people want to be seen more than they want to create. It is much easier to get a badge (college, accelerator, seed round, followers, job offer) that confers status than it is to build a great product.

The Hermes Web Dashboard got a major overhaul: it is now a feature-complete admin panel that you can manage entirely from your browser.

Just want to make this clear: We didn't make Hermes Agent to be a "starts with nothing, you work it all out" agent. This is not the minimalist, start from nothing, agent. We want Hermes to work out of the box for most people. So you aren't spending weeks just getting the agent to work, or have the capabilities you need. This means that yes, there are more built in things then something like nanoclaw or pi, which start with nothing, and you just have to figure it out. That is an intentional design decision. You can from the modest baseline that has capabilities that are likely broader than you need, but not egregious, take it from there if you want to tinker with it. Run `hermes skills config` or `hermes tools` to disable whatever you want. We even have a way to upload your whole "Agent" as a github repo, so you can install hermes fresh with your exact setup again later or share them. We have a massive interface for extensions so you can tinker with it to infinity. But if you don't want to become an agent engineer - with Hermes, you don't have to.

Ok this one's dope - @papercliping is now live on the Umbrel App Store! It lets you run a whole team of AI agents like a company, right on your home server. Create agents with API keys, or login with your Codex/Claude Code subscription, or even onboard your existing OpenClaw/Hermes agent as an employee in your company!

A simple proposal for adding Bitcoin finality guarantees to the Liquid Network. This isn't particularly impactful today, but would be an important change if Liquid moves to a BitVM bridge to enforce the 1-of-n custody trust assumption. gist.github.com/lukechilds/9…

ANOTHER umbrel user just solo-mined a block via public pool. less than 7 days after the last one y'all it's getting hard to write these tweets. we've used up "ANOTHER ONE." we've used up "the simulation is broken." we've used up "save the draft." we need new vocabulary for an event that we didn't realize would happen this often. anyway, congrats to the new legend!! 👑
ANOTHER block solo-mined via public pool on umbrel that's 5 in under a year, at this point we should just put it in the product description

Over the last 3 years, we’ve shipped two thoughtfully designed products (and many iterations & variants along the way). But the team never took its foot off the pedal on the software side. The OS never stood still, and it won’t. The latest is umbrelOS 1.7

LFG! @NousResearch's Hermes Agent is live on the Umbrel App Store! It's an AI agent that gets smarter the longer it runs, remembers stuff with persistent memory across sessions, learns your workflow, and autonomously creates its own reusable skills from experience. And it's sandboxed like every Umbrel app so it can't touch anything it's not supposed to. 1-click install. Login with ChatGPT, use an OpenRouter/OpenAI/Anthropic API key, or point it to a local Ollama model running on the same Umbrel.

there's a version of the future where every household runs a small fleet of ai agents locally. one handles finances, one handles scheduling, one handles home automation, one handles communication. none of them talk to the internet, all of them talk to each other, and your home server becomes the brain of your household. we're closer to this than people think.
