Cloud & hosting

Sync and hosting

Your device holds the working copy. A hub helps your workspace stay reachable, backed up, and connected when your other devices are offline.

How hubs work

A hub keeps your devices connected

Local-first doesn’t mean living on an island. A hub can relay changes and keep backups while your devices come and go. Core editing stays on your device.

You can run the open-source hub yourself or choose managed hosting. Those choices have different trust boundaries: a managed operator runs the software that stores and indexes your content. Hosting is a service you choose, with responsibilities worth understanding.

Available foundations

Run a hub.

The hub software and deployment guides are available now. Self-hosting gives you control of the operator, and also the work of maintaining it.

Managed plans package hosting and operations. Check the plan details and current service status before choosing the setup for your work.

Being improved

Make it feel simple.

Easy onboarding, recovery, and cross-device setup are part of the roadmap. The goal is a private connected workspace without a lesson in server administration.

The road ahead →

Keep the option to self-host. That idea runs through our essays on ownership, exit, and the open commons. Hosting should make the workspace more useful while leaving a real route to running it yourself.
