How do I get Charyl today?

Request early access to a Singer Intelligent Homes box and Charyl Cloud, or self-host on your own Linux server — free, with access to the private images during the testing period.

There are three paths. If you have a Linux server you keep on and are comfortable with Docker, you can self-host Charyl at no cost — the software is real and the path is documented, though during the current testing period the images are private, so you’ll still ask us for access (mention that you self-host). If you’d rather have a pre-set-up box and the full Charyl Cloud subscription (backups, remote access, research, mobile push), Charyl is pre-launch and in invited early access — you can request access, and we review requests by hand as they come in. If you’re buying a newly built home, ask your builder whether they’re part of the Charyl builder pilot; where they are, Charyl comes with the house.

Note

Requesting early access adds you to a reviewed queue, not an instant approval. We don’t promise a specific wait time, and every request gets the same confirmation regardless of where it lands in the queue.

The mobile app is also early access right now — iOS through TestFlight for invited testers, Android installed directly by the team — with no public app-store listing yet.
