Your Personal Cloud is the heart of our third pillar: subscription-free living. One box at your home replaces Dropbox, iCloud, LastPass, camera-cloud fees, and public-Wi-Fi VPNs — forever.
Files, photos, passwords, media, camera footage, and a private Mullvad + Tor routing layer (the Shadow Network). All stored at your home. All yours. No monthly bills. No terms-of-service changes. No company deciding what you're allowed to store.
A typical household pays for 5–8 overlapping services every month: cloud photo storage, password management, Netflix, security-camera cloud, VPN, off-site backup. It never stops. Prices always go up. You never own anything.
One NAS, installed once, replaces all of it. Ten years from now, your box is still running, your files are still yours, and the $50-$80/month you used to bleed is sitting in your account.
A Network Attached Storage (NAS) device is your personal cloud server that lives in your home. It's like having your own Dropbox, Google Drive, and password manager — but you own the hardware, control the data, and never pay monthly fees.
Files, photos, video, backups, passwords
From any device, anywhere in the world
Your data never leaves your property
We run Vaultwarden — a self-hosted, Bitwarden-compatible password manager — directly on your NAS. Your passwords, 2FA codes, credit cards, and secure notes are encrypted and stored at your home, never in a third-party cloud that can be breached or hold your account hostage.
Compatible with the official Bitwarden iOS, Android, Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and desktop apps — just point them at your vault.
We set up Jellyfin, a free open-source media server. Think Netflix, but for your personal movie and TV collection. Stream your entire media library to any device.
Use your NAS as a centralized backup destination for all your devices. Automatic backups protect against ransomware, hardware failure, and accidental deletion.
Start with 4TB-8TB of storage and expand as needed. Much cheaper per terabyte than cloud storage subscriptions.
Your NAS serves as the storage backend for your security cameras. All footage stays local with intelligent retention policies.
Your NAS runs a secondary privacy network — a private routing layer we call the Shadow Network. It pairs Mullvad (an anonymous, no-logs exit layer paid for with cash or crypto — no account tied to your name) with Tor (multi-hop onion routing) so your real IP, your ISP, and even Mullvad itself never see the full picture of where your traffic actually goes.
Configured once, installs on every device — phone, laptop, tablet. Routes as much or as little of your traffic as you want.
One dashboard for every smart thing in your house. We run Home Assistant on your NAS so your lights, thermostat, cameras, locks, garage door, sprinklers, and vacuums all talk to each other — locally, without Alexa or Google listening on the side.
One dashboard on every phone. "Good night" button turns off everything, locks the gate, arms the cameras, drops the shades, and sets the thermostat. One tap.
Pi-hole runs on your NAS and acts as a DNS-level filter for every device in your house. Ads, trackers, and telemetry get blocked before they reach any screen — phones, smart TVs, kids' tablets, IoT devices, game consoles, everything.
Typical install blocks 15–30% of all DNS queries. That's hundreds of thousands of trackers a month the house just doesn't load.
Paperless-ngx is a local document archive that scans, OCR's, and indexes every PDF, receipt, tax return, warranty, utility bill, medical form, and insurance doc you ever deal with. Search by any word inside any document — like Gmail for your filing cabinet.
Drop paper into the scanner once, never look for it again. Everything is full-text searchable, auto-filed, and backed up with the rest of your files.
Nextcloud runs a shared calendar, contact book, task list, and notes app for the whole household — syncing to every phone and laptop automatically. Think Google Workspace or iCloud, but running on your NAS with nobody reading your schedule.
Pairs with Apple Calendar, Google Calendar, Outlook — your phone doesn't care where the calendar lives. Works over the Shadow Network when you're not home.
Every Alexa and Google Home device ships your voice off to a corporate server for processing. We run Home Assistant Voice with Whisper speech-to-text locally on your NAS. Your voice commands stay inside your four walls.
If you're already on Alexa we can often reuse the speakers — just re-point the mic plumbing at your NAS.
Automatically backup and organize your phone photos to your NAS. Use apps like PhotoPrism or Immich for a private, self-hosted alternative to Google Photos.
