Stand on your own ground.
Solum is a computer for your home that keeps your own copy of everything that matters: your photos, email and documents, a private AI, all of Wikipedia and maps of the world.
Open source. Yours, with or without the internet.
Get your data back.
Own it.
Your photos, email, documents and contacts are copied home from Google, Apple and Microsoft, to a machine you own, and kept current. Keep using the services you like. Just stop depending on them.
Keep what matters within reach.
The box also carries a private AI assistant, an offline copy of Wikipedia and maps of the world. All of it works on your home network with no internet at all.
We do the rest.
You bring the hardware. We set it up, keep it updated and advise you, for as long as you like. Because everything is open source, you can always carry on alone.
What your box holds
Your photos and videos
One private library, searchable, backed up straight from every phone in the house.
Your email
A living archive of every mailbox in the household, readable in any mail app.
Your documents
The files you keep in other people's drives, brought home as ordinary folders.
A private AI
An assistant that runs on your own machine. What you ask it never leaves the house.
All of Wikipedia
The whole encyclopedia on your own shelf, refreshed while you sleep.
Maps of the world
Every street and footpath on Earth, ready without a signal.
Open source. Nothing hidden.
Every part of Solum is open source software that anyone can inspect, improve and keep running. The way it is put together is published too.
No licence key. No off switch. If we disappeared tomorrow, your box would keep working exactly as it does today.
Questions
What is Solum?
Solum is a computer for your home, set up with open source software, that keeps your own copy of your photos, email and documents. It also carries a private AI assistant, an offline copy of Wikipedia and maps of the world. Everything on it works on your home network, with or without the internet.
Do I have to leave Google, Apple or Microsoft?
No. Solum copies your data home and keeps the copy current. You can go on using the services you like. You just no longer depend on them.
Do I need to be technical?
No. You bring the hardware and we do the rest: setup, updates and advice. If you enjoy running your own systems, everything is open source and you can manage it yourself.
What does it cost?
The software is free. If you would rather not maintain it yourself, a subscription will keep it updated and give you advice. Stop the subscription and nothing switches off. Pricing will be announced before launch.
When can I get one?
Solum is in development. Join the waitlist and we will write when it is ready.
