Your Digital Life, Finally Under Your Control
Stop renting your digital life from big tech. Own your email, files, and messages with our simple one-click installer. Runs on any old computer with 8GB RAM.
Here's the Thing About Technology Today
You pay monthly fees for email, file storage, and messaging—but you don't actually own any of it. Gmail can lock you out. Dropbox can delete your files. WhatsApp can read your messages. And there's nothing you can do about it.
We think that's backwards. You should own your digital life, not rent it.
The good news? The technology to take control already exists. Email servers, file storage, and messaging apps have been around for decades. The only thing that's been missing is making them simple enough for regular people to use.
That's where we come in. We've taken all the complicated server stuff and wrapped it in a simple installer that works like any other app you'd download. Got an old computer sitting around? Perfect—as long as it has 8GB of RAM and a decent processor, you can turn it into your personal server that handles email, file storage, and messaging for your whole family (up to 5 users easily).
No monthly fees. No expensive hardware. No one reading your emails. Just your digital life, running on your terms, on equipment you probably already own.
What You Get When You Own Your Digital Life
Imagine never worrying about your email provider shutting down, your files disappearing, or your messages being read by advertisers. Here's what changes when you run your own servers on that old computer in your closet:
- 📧Email that can't be canceled or censored
- ☁️Unlimited file storage (your hardware, your rules)
- 💬Private messaging that stays private
- 🐘Social networks without the algorithm manipulation
Got an Old Computer? You're Ready to Go
You don't need to buy expensive server hardware. That old desktop, laptop, or mini PC gathering dust can become your personal digital fortress. Here's all you need:
✅ 8GB RAM
Most computers from the last 8 years have this.
✅ Decent Processor
Even older Intel i5s or AMD equivalents work great.
✅ Internet Connection
Your regular home internet is perfect.
Perfect for 1-5 users. Running costs? Just the electricity—about $2-5 per month. Compare that to paying Google, Microsoft, and Dropbox $10-30 each, every month, forever.
Choose Your Setup Style
We give you two ways to connect your server to the internet, depending on how hands-on you want to be:
🚀 Direct Connection (Recommended)
Best performance and true ownership. Requires setting up port forwarding in your router—we'll guide you through it step by step.
🔗 Tunnel Mode (Easy Start)
Just want it to work? Uses Cloudflare's free tunneling service. No router setup needed, but relies on a third-party service.
Start with tunnel mode, upgrade to direct connection when you're ready. Most families have someone who can handle the router setup!
We Make It Simple (So You Don't Have To)
Behind the scenes, we're using the same battle-tested software that powers major websites. But you don't need to know that—we've packaged everything into a simple installer that just works:
Your Email Server
Professional email that you control completely.
Mailcow GIT Page
Your Messaging
Like WhatsApp, but actually private.
Your Social Network
Like Twitter, but no ads or manipulation.
Your Photo Sharing
