One switch for every AI in your house.

Totum is a small machined metal box between your AI assistants and your email, calendar and files. It holds the keys, asks you before anything risky, and writes down everything they do.

Founders price $299, then $399. The deposit is refundable any time.

All good. 3 AIs connected.

Drag the crown. A quarter turn locks everything; turning back needs your phone.

A diary of everything your AIs did today.

Every request goes through Totum, so every request is written down in plain English. Anything that sends, posts, pays or deletes waits for you.

Why a box, and not another app.

Your keys stay home

Connector services keep your account keys in their cloud. Totum keeps them in a chip in your house, and your AIs only ever hold a key you can cancel.

One rulebook for every AI

ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini each police only themselves. Totum sets the rules for all of them, plus agents like OpenClaw, in one place.

Yours, even if we're not

No subscription needed. If we ever disappear, your Totum keeps working: the software that runs it will be released openly.

Reserve a founders unit.

Questions

Is the deposit really refundable?

Yes. Email us any time before your unit ships and you get the full $49 back.

When will it ship?

We're finishing the design and engineering now. Founders get a firm ship date before anything beyond the deposit is charged. If the date doesn't suit you, take your deposit back.

Don't ChatGPT and Claude already ask before sending?

Each asks about its own actions, in its own app, with its own rules. Totum is one place for all of them, with keys you hold and one switch that stops everything at once.

Does Totum run AI itself?

No. It holds your account keys, checks every request against your rules and writes it down. That keeps it small, silent and cool.

What if it's stolen or breaks?

The keys are sealed in a security chip, so they can't be read off the box. From your phone you can revoke every key it holds, and your accounts carry on as normal.

Is there a version for a small business?

We're planning Totum Office for teams of 2 to 10, with a diary you can export for clients or insurers. Choose “My business” when you reserve and we'll be in touch.
