Beyond Photos · Unchained Home

Photos are just
the beginning.

Your Unchained Home device is built on a platform with a growing library of apps — each one running privately on hardware in your home. This page is a preview of what's coming. More detail on each app is on the way.

What's possible

Your home. Your apps.
Nobody else's servers.

Every app on your device runs the same way your photo library does — locally, privately, on hardware you own. No subscriptions to third-party cloud services. No data leaving your home network. These are previews of what's available now and what's coming.

A private password vault that lives on your hardware at home. Access your passwords from any device on your network — no third-party cloud, no subscription, no company holding your credentials.

Notes, journals, and documents stored on your own hardware. Synced across your devices over your home network. Nothing stored on someone else's server.

Home Media Library

Coming soon
🌐
More coming
The platform your device runs on has a growing library of privacy-first apps. We'll be adding guides, recommendations, and setup help for new ones as we vet and test them.
The idea behind it

One device.
Your whole digital life.

Every app you use today that stores your personal data in the cloud could, in principle, run on hardware in your home instead. The device you already own for photos is capable of much more — we're building toward that one step at a time.

🏠
Your hardware, your rules
Every app runs on the device in your home. No third-party servers. No company policies that change without notice. No subscriptions just to access your own data.
🔒
Private by default
Nothing leaves your home network unless you choose. Your passwords, notes, photos, and files stay where they belong — with you, not with a company whose business model depends on your data.
📦
One box, growing capability
The device you buy today for photos becomes more useful over time as new apps are vetted and added. Your investment grows with you — no new hardware needed for most additions.

More detail
on the way.

We're building out this page app by app — with plain-language guides, setup instructions, and honest assessments of what each one does well. Leave your email and we'll let you know when new guides are published.

Start here

Photos first.
Everything else when you're ready.

The home server ships configured for photos. Every other app is something you can explore at your own pace — no pressure, no guided setup required unless you want it.
