An exit from the big five internet
A way
out.
Your thoughts. Your things. Your people.
A little less platform. A little more you.
No account to open. Nothing to subscribe to.
The internet got rather good at keeping you inside.
We thought it was time someone built a door.
The idea / Inside out
Leave the
asylum outside.
Wonko the Sane had a simple idea. If the world had gone mad, the sensible thing was to put the asylum on the outside of his house.
We like that way of thinking.
So here’s a little place beyond the big five internet. A place to keep your own things, without turning them into someone else’s business.
You’re welcome insideYour place / The everyday essentials
Small things.
Back where they belong.
You don’t have to move your whole life in a day.
Start with a thought, a link, or a file.
Your thoughts
A quiet place to write things down. Notes you can come back to, edit, and take with you.
02Your corner of the web
Keep the links worth keeping. Bring your browser bookmarks along for the ride.
03Your things
Put a few important files somewhere close to home. Right here, on this device.
04Your people
A personal address book. Remember the people, and the details that matter to you.
Stored in your browser. No remote account. No feed to keep up with.
The way out / A door that opens both ways
Leaving should be easy.
Even leaving Wonko.
Import your bookmarks. Make a note. Save something that matters. Your place starts with what you choose to bring inside.
When you want to leave, export your collection, including your files, as a portable backup. Keep it somewhere safe. There’s no permission to ask for.
Bring your thingsThis first version lives in one browser. Export regularly: clearing browser data clears your collection. Device sync and messaging aren’t part of this version.
The door is open.
Make yourself
at home.
