Understand
You ask about your system in plain language. The answer says what it is based on.
nixad
Your NixOS. In your own words.
nixad is an assistant for NixOS systems. You say what you want. It checks, proposes, waits for your go — and applies it declaratively.

what nixad does
Six things, every day
Propose
Changes arrive as a proposal with a reason. Never as a surprise.
Approve
Nothing is applied without your go. Turning it down takes one word.
Apply declaratively
What you approve ends up in the NixOS configuration. Reproducible and revertible.
Watch ahead
nixad reports what stands out — repeated login attempts, say. The proposal comes with it.
On your machine
nixad runs where your system runs. Your configuration and your logs stay with you.
principles
What we hold to
You stay the admin
Every change needs your approval. nixad proposes and waits; you decide.
Declarative, not a trail of clicks
The state of your system lives in its configuration, not in a series of forgotten manual steps. Every state is reproducible and every step can be taken back.
Traceable
Every answer says what it is based on. What nixad does not know, it says — instead of guessing.
Local first
nixad works on your machine. What your system knows about itself does not leave it without reason.
