OurCloud Social Demo Available Now

A personal social network for real relationships

Private conversations with people you know. Text-only for now, no ads, no algorithms, and your data stays secure. See posts from people you choose, not what an algorithm wants you to see. Your conversations stay between you and your friends. Not even we can read them.

Your Data is Truly Private

When you post on OurCloud Social, your content is encrypted before leaving your device. Only you and the friends you share with can decrypt and read it. The service operator, network administrators, and anyone else looking at the data sees only encrypted gibberish.

Think of it like a locked safe that only opens with your friends' keys. Even the people storing the safe can't peek inside.

Simple explanation: OurCloud Social works like BitTorrent but secure. It uses a distributed network where everyone contributes a bit of storage space, but everything is encrypted so only authorized people can read it.

Built for the Long Term

Traditional social media depends on companies staying in business. If a major platform shuts down tomorrow, decades of your memories vanish. OurCloud is different.

Your data lives on a distributed network, not controlled by any single company. As long as you or your friends keep copies, your data persists. If OurCloud the company disappeared, your data remains safe and accessible.

Growing with New Applications

The same encrypted data can be used by new applications as they're built. For example, a future photo app could organize and display your images, making your existing data more useful without requiring you to upload it again or trust a new company with your privacy.

Text Posts & Social Connections Available in Demo

Share updates with friends, comment, and stay connected. Simple, ad-free communication.

Backup & File Sharing Future Capability

Built on the same distributed infrastructure, secure file backup and sharing will be available as complementary features.

Photo & Media Sharing Future Capability

Share photos and videos with the same privacy guarantees as text posts.

Third-Party Applications Future Capability

Developers will be able to build new applications on top of your encrypted data, unlocking features we haven't imagined yet.

Common Questions

How is this different from other "privacy-focused" social networks?

Most privacy-focused platforms still require you to trust the company running them. With OurCloud Social, the data is encrypted in a way that makes it technically impossible for anyone except you and your friends to read it. Not even us.

What do you mean by "no algorithms"?

You see posts from people you follow, in chronological order. That's it. No hidden ranking, no promoted content, no manipulation to keep you scrolling. You control what you see.

Is this really free? What's the catch?

The demo is free to use. Our long-term model involves a small one-time fee for an account rather than subscriptions or advertising. We're building this to be sustainable, not to extract maximum value from your attention.

What do I need to get started?

For the current demo, you need an Android phone. We're working on web and iPhone versions. Sign up below to stay updated on availability.

Who is this NOT for?

This beta is not ready if you need polished UI, rich media support, or a large existing user base. It's for people who want to help shape a privacy-focused platform from the ground up and are comfortable with rough edges.
