Concept 001 / a HEIMLANDR project
Take a vacation
from your computer.
TERMLANDR is a pocket terminal and personal assistant for the agents that do your work. Hold TALK, say it, press OK. The thinking happens in Sweden. You can be anywhere.
You pay nothing today.
The idea
It started with a lot of problems and privacy concerns.
Five open issues. Then we started committing.
- #1assistants that listen all day[closed]
- #2you babysit your agents at a desk[closed]
- #3what you say trains someone else's model[closed]
- #4your data lives in another country's cloud[closed]
- #5everything wants your attention[closed]
- b17d3e9fix #1: hold TALK to talk, close the lid to stop
Closes #1. The lid is the off switch.
- a3f19c2feat: a plastic box you can talk to
Closes #5. No feed to scroll. It waits for your OK.
- c81e4a0feat: mechanical switches for everything
Planned, because 'trust us, it's off' is not a switch.
- e15a8d4refactor: the brain lives in sweden, the box stays dumb
Closes #3 and #4.
- ca1e4d2feat: calendar, memory, an actual assistant
Closes #2. It already knows what needs you.
- 1986c0dstyle: make it look like the 80s
Shoulder pads not included.
- 4f7b3d9feat: linux inside, programmable, ships blank if you want
For people who think our code is the bug.
- 6c3d8f5feat: games while the terminals clear
The agents are busy, so you are allowed to have fun.

0 open issues
Press OK to play. D-pad to steer.
- Speakers that wait for their name all day. Even golden retrievers take naps.
- Pendants that record every conversation. Your dinner now has minutes.
- Free email that reads your email. Picture the postman doing that.
Nothing to hide? Lovely, enjoy the matrix. The rest of us still close the bathroom door, so we built a box with a lid.
Dumb in your hand. Clever in Sweden.
How it works
Hold TALK. Say it. Press OK.
That is the whole manual.
Hold TALK and say it.
Let go when you are done. Hold it 3 s for hands-free, until you close the lid.
Agents do the work in HQ.
Your pocket stays light. Go for a walk.
Press OK or BACK.
Nothing is sent, booked, merged or paid until you press OK. BACK means not that.
Try it as
Then hold TALK. After the first go, the space bar works too. A scripted demo, no microphone.

Private
They gave you a tamagotchi that listens. Ours goes to sleep.
Lid closed, it stops listening and keeps working. Lid open, it listens only while you hold TALK.
| What | Theirs | Ours |
|---|---|---|
| Listening | All day. | When you hold TALK. |
| Camera | On your face. | Behind a shutter. |
| Your words | Train their models. | Train nothing. |
| Off switch | In an app. | In your hand. |
Idle radios nap too: fewer transmissions, longer battery.
- Switches
- Planned: physical switches for mic, camera shutter, radios and GPS. GPS ships switched off.
- Your key
- A hardware key (FIDO2) for your computer logins.
- SOS and stolen
- SOS sends your position to people you pick, over 4G. Stolen? Lock and wipe from HQ.
HQ
The box is the remote.
HQ does the work.
Our private cloud
HEIMLANDR inference in Sweden.
No training, no selling, no snooping.
Or make it yours
Your server, your computer, your code.
We don't need you. You don't need us.
- Free with every TERMLANDR. Going open source.
- Plugs into mail, calendar, git and your scripts over MCP.

PROMISE.txt, read-only
- The only direction from here: more private, better, cooler, more retro.
- No ads. Not on the device, not in HQ, not ever.
- Your data never trains anything. Ours or anyone else's.
- No always-listening mode. Not in any update.
- The physical switches stay. No update turns a switch into a setting.
- HQ goes open source and stays open source.

FAQ
Fair questions.
Is this real?
Not yet. A concept from HEIMLANDR in Jönköping. 1000 reservations and we build it.
What does it cost?
EUR 299 for the base unit. Never more than EUR 499 per unit.
Is there a monthly bill?
Only with HEIMLANDR Sovereign: EUR 15 per device per month. Bring your own: EUR 0.
Can I change my mind?
Yes. A reservation is not an order. One link in our email deletes your data.
Does it work with Claude Code or Codex?
That is the plan: pick Bring your own. Not affiliated with Anthropic or OpenAI.
Can it be hacked?
Anything online can be attacked. Planned: open firmware and an outside security test before launch.
Is it made in Sweden?
Designed in Jönköping. The plan: assembled and tested in Sweden. The circuit boards are not.
When would it ship?
No date until we see demand. At 1000 we publish a real timeline.
