We're tired of services that lock your data away. We believe the only way to truly benefit from software is to have control and ownership over the data you put into it.

It has never been easier to host your own software at home or on a cloud server you control. Given the choice between SaaS and self-hosting, we believe an increasing number of people will choose to host their own software or choose desktop-based software running on their personal files.

Despite it being easier than ever to build software, it has never been harder to convince people to take a bet on software built by startups and small businesses, all due to a complete erosion of trust over many years. We believe companies like Homebody can earn back that trust by being as open as possible and putting customers in control.
