Home Cloud

The easy-to-use solution that enables you to say goodbye to the high-cost, privacy nightmare of Big Tech services so that you can finally take back control over your digital life!

The Cloud? At Home?

Yes! The Cloud was first sold as the cheap, convenient solution for backing up data, syncing our devices, and running apps from anywhere. Now though, cloud services are expensive, riddled with privacy issues, and constantly getting shutdown or made worse by the big companies who run them.

It's time for something new. A growing community of engineers and developers have been building free and open-source apps to replace the cloud services sold by Big Tech. All you need to use these apps is a system that will host them in your own personal "cloud". Home Cloud makes this easy!
