Every app. Already configured.
Photos, files, passwords, media, smart home, notes, and more — 18 apps installed, connected, and ready on day one.
Your digital life doesn't have to be dystopian.
Replace big tech with tech you own. block ads, stop trackers, and get control of your data.
See How It WorksYour photos live on someone else's server. Their terms let them scan, analyze, and use your content — and they can change those terms whenever they want.
Your files sit in someone else's cloud. They own the terms, they set the price, and they can lock you out whenever they want.
Every site you visit, every search you make, every app you open — tracked, profiled, and sold to the highest bidder.
You don't have to live like this.
Back up photos with AI-powered search and facial recognition. Sync files across all your devices. Store passwords and passkeys. These are real, open-source apps — Immich, Nextcloud, Vaultwarden — pre-installed and configured to work together.
Powered by AdGuard Home. Ads vanish from every device on your network — phones, laptops, tablets, smart TVs. No apps to install. Every device that connects to your WiFi is automatically protected.
Plug the box into your router with one ethernet cable. It sits next to your existing equipment — your router keeps working normally.
A setup wizard walks you through creating users and connecting devices.
Export your data from Apple or Google, then drag and drop the files into the import page. Photos, files, calendars, and contacts get imported automatically.
Immich for photos (with face recognition and search). Nextcloud for files. Vaultwarden for passwords. Jellyfin for media. These are mature, actively developed open-source projects.
AdGuard Home blocks ads and trackers for every device on your network. No per-device configuration. Typically blocks 30–40% of all DNS requests.
Open your photos, grab a file, or stream media from anywhere — phone, laptop, any browser. Your connection is encrypted end-to-end. Included with your $60/yr subscription, which also covers your personal web address and software updates.
Sign into all your apps with a single account. Use a password, fingerprint, or face unlock — no more juggling separate logins for photos, files, and passwords.

We're building the first batch now. Reserve your spot and lock in your name.
This is your personal address — like yourname.logout.cloud
Use your family name, a nickname, or anything you'll remember.
Plus $60/yr subscription, billed separately. Everything works on your home network without it.
First batch is in production. You'll be charged when your box ships. We'll email you with a timeline after you reserve.
No charge until it ships. Cancel anytime before shipment.
We're building the first batch now. We'll email you with a specific timeline after you reserve. You won't be charged until your box is ready to ship.
The box arrives pre-configured. You plug it in, follow the setup guide, and create your account. You don't need to touch a terminal or know what Docker is. The software is mature and actively maintained, but the hardware product is new. If something unexpected comes up, you have direct email access to the person who built it. Software updates are included with your subscription and applied automatically.
A small, quiet mini PC (about the size of a paperback book), a power cable, an ethernet cable, and a setup guide. If you add the access point, that comes in the box too.
No. Your existing router stays in place and keeps doing everything it does now, including WiFi. The box plugs into your router with an ethernet cable and sits next to it. If you add the optional access point, it creates a second WiFi network managed by the box for automatic ad blocking on wireless devices. But your original WiFi keeps working either way.
It shouldn't. Ad blocking can actually speed up page loads since your browser isn't downloading ad content. The box handles typical home internet speeds without being a bottleneck.
Your apps keep working on your home network. Photos, files, passwords, media — all still accessible from any device in your house. What stops is remote access and shared links. When internet comes back, everything reconnects automatically. This is actually an advantage over cloud services — if Google goes down, you lose access to everything. Your data is on your box.
Yes, two ways. First, you can install a free app (Tailscale) on your phone or laptop — your services appear as if you're home, with an encrypted connection. Second, your $60/yr subscription includes a web address (yourname.logout.cloud) so you can access your apps from any browser without installing anything. The web address also lets you share photo albums, files, and links with people outside your network.
256GB holds roughly 30,000 photos. 512GB holds about 70,000. 1TB holds around 150,000. These estimates are for photos only — if you also store movies, music, or large files, choose a bigger drive. HEIC photos take less space, RAW photos take more.
18 apps running on Ubuntu Server. The main ones: Immich (photos), Nextcloud (files), Vaultwarden (passwords), AdGuard Home (ad blocking), Jellyfin (media), Headscale (VPN), Pocket-ID (SSO), and Caddy (reverse proxy). Everything is open-source.
You could absolutely build this yourself — all the software is free and open-source. The value here is that it's already done: hardware selected, software installed, services configured to work together, DNS and SSL set up. That's typically days of work if you know Linux, and inaccessible if you don't.
Here's a free guide to taking back your privacy right now. No email required. Not a funnel. Just useful.
