Cloud on LAN Apps

Software you host yourself.

Products that run on a server you control, on your own network.

Most software today asks you to upload your data somewhere else in order to use it. We think that trade is worse than it looks — and usually unnecessary.

Our applications and packages run on a server you own: a computer you already have, a Raspberry Pi, or a machine on your own local network. The mobile and desktop apps connect to it. Nothing goes to a third party, because there is no third party.

What we hold to

Your data comes back to you. It stays on hardware you control. Nothing is uploaded anywhere to make the software work.

Nothing that can become a subscription. Beyond open-source languages and packages, we avoid any dependency that could later turn into a recurring charge for you.

You can install it yourself. Setting up the server should be simple enough to do without us. Where it isn't yet, that's a bug in our documentation.

Offline is the normal case. Not a degraded mode to fall back to when the connection drops.

Products

CL Server flagship product · coming soon

Our flagship. The server the rest of this rests on. Keep your photos, videos and documents on a machine you own, with search, versioning and duplicate detection — and machine learning that runs on your own hardware rather than someone else's: image similarity, face detection, semantic search over your own library.

Built as independent services for authentication, storage and computation, with mobile, desktop and command-line clients, and an extensible plugin system for the processing work. Runs on a spare computer or a Raspberry Pi.

Read and Learn

Read text in a language you are learning, word by word, and build your own vocabulary notes. For languages the big apps ignore.

Read Out Loud

Text-to-speech and speech-to-text for early readers.

PhotoCraft Kit

Edit and preview images before you share them.

Open source

We publish Flutter and Dart packages for other developers, under a verified publisher on pub.dev. Source is on GitHub and GitLab. All MIT.
