First, tell us who you are.
The docs get easier when the path starts with you. Individuals get a short setup. Organizations get identity, policy, audit, and rollout guidance.
I'm protecting my own agents
Start with the desktop client. Pick Local Mode for no cloud, or OpenLeash Cloud for a personal hosted account.
- No company setup
- No CISO dashboard
- Local or personal cloud
We're rolling this out for a team
Start with identity, policy, approvals, audit, and client rollout. Choose hosted or customer-hosted.
- Identity and users
- Dashboard for admins
- Cloud or Private Cloud
Already Know The Mode?
OpenLeash has three modes: Local Mode, OpenLeash Cloud, and Private Cloud.
Local Mode
I want protection on my own machine, no account, no dashboard.
- Works offline
- Desktop client only
- Optional local model key
OpenLeash Cloud
I want a hosted account for myself, but I am not managing a company.
- Sign up in place
- Install desktop client
- No dashboard
OpenLeash Cloud
We want OpenLeash hosted for our company, with policy and audit.
- Work identity
- CISO dashboard
- Managed rollout
Private Cloud
We need to host the APIs, dashboard, database, and identity ourselves.
- Customer Postgres
- Customer IdP
- Open-source core
Quick Decision
Read this like a normal person in a hurry.
Install the desktop client. No account. No dashboard.
Create a personal account where you started. Still no dashboard.
Use work identity, then configure users and policy in the dashboard.
Run the public core in your own environment.
