It’s 2024, time to get our heads data out of the clouds.
The cloud offers great convenience and flexibility, significantly improving our lives. But for personal data storage needs, it poses risks like loss of control, privacy issues, higher costs, and the effects of outages, bankruptcies, or platform bans. Moreover, vendors often push you into their own ecosystems, limiting freedom of choice.
Besides, do you really need all those missed doorbell videos stored redundantly on servers across the globe?
We want to help you achieve some cloud independence and regain ownership of your data using your own hardware.
So how do we do that?
The IT-savvy have long known the secret: NAS (network-attached storage) or homelabbing. We call it a home server, and with it, you can do amazing things!
Store and protect your data locally
Play and stream your media anywhere
Automate and protect your home
Run apps and desktops
And so much more!

There’s just one catch,
it’s a lot to learn.
If you’re not IT-savvy, concepts like RAID, parity, file systems, and access controls might seem like gibberish, and many will likely struggle to get past the initial setup.
We want to change all that!
