Required together: Saga · Rune · Edda. Aella is the mind (Stella is the ops console). Skjal is human E2E; Aella-in-Skjal is a paid add-on. Recommended separately: Heim (rooms) and Thala (servers). Hermod if you need site mail. Skarð is the live site ledger.

Saga

Organisation console

The console the organisation runs. Installing Saga also installs Rune and Edda.

Platforms →

Rune

Device identity & suite SSO

Device sign-in on the workstation. After that, suite apps open as the same person.

Rune → Software →

Edda

Saga database

Canonical Postgres for Saga — users, modules, vault, docs, shop, and site configuration. Required with every Saga install.

Aella

On-site intelligence

On-site intelligence on your servers. Operators reach it from Stella. Staff may add her to Skjal as a paid, disclosed path.

Aella →

Stella

Operator console

Operator console for Aella. Conversations, jobs, status, and media. Opened from Saga with the same Rune session. Not every desk.

Platforms →

Skjal

Mobile chat

Human end-to-end chat. Logout purges local history. Aella-in-Skjal is a paid add-on and is not end-to-end to her.

Details →

Heim

Computer room · home

Surveillance for the computer room and the home: sensors, doors, cameras. Separate recommended product.

Platforms →

Thala

Server monitoring

Server monitoring for hardware, OS, databases, and backups. Separate recommended product — not Heim.

Hermod

Site mail · or bring your own

Minor but important if the site has no mail server. Buy Hermod, or keep the mail system you already run. Email login codes need one or the other.

Platforms →

Skarð

Site ledger · SKAR / ð

Skarð (ð) is the self-hosted sovereign ledger for your site — named for the Nordic word for a shard, a piece that could be broken from an armring. 1 000 Flís make a shard; 1 000 shards make a Ring (visual scale only). Spend Flís on merch today; operate the ledger yourself.

Machine roles

A full site uses specialized machines for org apps, AI, the operator desktop, fleet ops, and long-term storage. Smaller installs combine hardware; the product groups stay the same.

Org & webConsole

Saga, Rune, Edda, public web, and Skjal — the human entry surface for the site.

AI computeAella

Aella runtime: models, agents, jobs, and short-term operational memory for the AI product.

Operator edgeStella

Stella — the operator console for Aella. Not every desk.

Fleet opsThala

Thala server monitoring and remediation. Separate recommended product.

Memory & archiveStorage

Long-term media, backup archives, and durable knowledge stores for the site.
