Linky enables websites to utilize data (by permission) from your own local device rather than from the cloud. It's a free, easy-to-use, peer-to-peer alternative to work, play, and share with friends, family, and co-workers, and a developer SDK. With linky you own your data, have total control, better privacy, ultimate personalization, improved productivity, personal always available AI, and can share and interact with others without interference from platforms or advertisers.
What is linky technically?
Linky is peer-to-peer webapp software that runs on your devices (your phone, tablet, pc,) from which is formed an easy-to-use personal private cloud. With the help of WebRTC, BitTorrent, and IndexedDB data is stored across your devices and interactions happen device-to-device and device-to-webapp rather than through cloud servers.
Linky is NOT
A monolithic social platform (like FB, IG, Twitter, etc.)
A hosting service.
An HTTP API.
A blockchain.
A singular home server or NAS.
Benefits
Private: data is kept local, shares are direct device‑to‑device, AI that runs privately from home.
Personal: everyone's different - have the features you want, choose when and how things change.
You're in control: linky isn't ad supported - there's no tracking, no algorithm, no unwanted interruptions, you choose what to share and see. Add all the storage space you want.
Who's Linky for?

The why
We believe technology should be healthful and used for maximal benefit to humanity.
The internet is losing its joy - it's too often unhealthy and often feels as though it's working against us.
Our mission is to make a better and more productive web that works for us, not against us - to restore the spark, the fun, the excitement, the sense of ownership and community that drew us to the net to begin with.
The Team
We're an international team of founders, designers, and developers with a passion to build products people love to own.
