a private network · invite-only
A private network — the photos, files, passwords and notes you’d normally hand to Apple, Google or Meta, kept behind a passkey instead. No adverts, nothing mined. Access is invite-only, but you’re welcome to have a look around.
open source
Every app on this node is open source — the code is published, and anyone can read exactly what it does with your files. That is not a promise, it is a checkable fact. We take that code and run it ourselves in the UK, so no vendor sits in the middle and there is no business model that needs your data.
The rack below is what that looks like in practice.
the ecosystem
Private, open-source replacements for the everyday cloud — running on UK servers, behind one secure login.
photos.itzgee.com
replaces Google Photos · iCloud Photos
A private photo and video library. Your phone backs up automatically, and you can search your entire collection by what’s in the picture — people, places, things. Facial recognition and search run on this hardware; your memories never leave it.
files.itzgee.com
replaces Google Drive · Dropbox · OneDrive
Your files, in the browser. Upload, organise, preview and download documents from any device, and hand someone a file with a shareable link. A lightweight personal drive that lives on servers we run in the UK — not a tech giant’s servers.
cars.itzgee.com
replaces the glovebox full of receipts
A digital service book for your vehicles. Log every service, MOT, repair and fuel-up; track cost per mile and fuel economy over time; get reminders before things are due. Sell a car with its full documented history attached.
passwords.itzgee.com
replaces LastPass · 1Password · Bitwarden
A password manager for all your logins, cards and secure notes — compatible with the official Bitwarden apps and browser extensions. Everything is encrypted end-to-end on your devices; the server only ever holds ciphertext it cannot read. Deliberately kept independent of the platform login, so it is always reachable.
gps.itzgee.com
replaces Google Timeline · Life360
A private location history and travel timeline — the self-hosted alternative to Google Timeline. Every trip, visit and route is mapped automatically from your phone, with statistics on distance, cities and time — all of it on this hardware, never handed to an ad network.
keep.itzgee.com
replaces Pocket · Raindrop · Instapaper
A place to save anything worth keeping — links, articles, images, PDFs, notes — and actually find it again later. Everything is organised and made fully searchable, and saved pages are archived so they survive even if the original vanishes. On servers we run in the UK, not an ad company’s.
replaces the filing cabinet
Scan or upload any document — bills, contracts, warranties, letters — and it’s automatically read, tagged and made searchable. Find any piece of paper you’ve ever owned in seconds.
getting in
Every account here is passkey-only, through our own identity server. If you have not used one before, it is simpler than what you are used to — and considerably harder to steal.
There is nothing to phish, guess, leak or reuse. Your account has no password on it at all — so a breach somewhere else can never reach this one.
Your phone or laptop stores a private key and unlocks it with your fingerprint, face or PIN. That half never leaves the device and this server never sees it.
The site asks your device to prove it holds the key. You approve it the way you unlock your phone. No codes to type, no app to install, no SMS.
Access to the apps stays invite-only, granted per person — a passkey is how you sign in, not how you get in.
system architecture
Verified hardware and stack configurations. Complete security protocols are publicly detailed on the security page.
live telemetry
Everything below is measured live — not a screenshot, not yesterday's numbers. It refreshes as you watch.
querying monitors…
Every service on the node, checked around the clock from a second site 100 miles away. UP means it responded to the last check.
software manifest
Every layer of this platform is built on open-source software — auditable by anyone, owned by no one. These are the projects doing the work.
keep in the loop
There’s no public signup, and this isn’t one. Leave your name and email and you’ll get the occasional note when something on the network changes — an application going live, a security write-up, or word that access has opened. Nothing else, ever.
An occasional email when something on the network actually changes — an application going live, a security write-up, a change worth knowing about. No schedule, no newsletter, no noise.
Your name and email, nothing more. This is a mailing list, not an account: it grants no access to anything, and the applications stay invite-only and granted per person.
Access is provisioned per person and stays invitational today. If that ever changes, the people on this list hear first — nobody is added to anything automatically.
