ownbackend

Your app's backend, on your own device.

A database, an API, sign-in, files and live updates for the app you're building. It runs on your laptop or an always-on computer, and it's online at https://your-app.ownbackend.app. No servers to rent, no router to configure.

Create your backend How it works

Yours

Your data stays on your device. Backups leave it only encrypted, with a code only you have.

Online

Your app gets a public address with HTTPS. Visitors see a clear page if your device is ever off.

Watched

We email you when your app goes offline and when it's back, and warn you about a low battery or a full disk.
