## What it is
Apache Maka (Incubating) is a local-first AI agent workspace that runs agents on your machine through a single Runtime Host, executing tools under a sandbox boundary. It records model messages, tool calls, tool results, permission decisions, and termination events as an append-only, recoverable execution log.

## Use cases
- run AI agents locally on my machine with sandboxed tool execution
- audit and replay agent tool calls and permission decisions
- keep an append-only event log of LLM agent sessions
- inspect projects with an AI agent without sending data to the cloud
- manage agent tool permissions in a desktop workspace
- recover agent execution history from an event-sourced log

## When to choose
- you want a local-first agent runtime with full auditability of every model message and tool call
- you need sandboxed tool execution with explicit permission decisions recorded as events
- you prefer a desktop (macOS/Electron) agent workspace plus CLI over cloud-hosted agent platforms

## When to avoid
- you need Linux support, which is not yet available
- you require a production-stable, graduation-complete Apache project
- you want a fully managed cloud agent service rather than a local runtime
