Personal Internet
Complete Control
Absolute Privacy
Dependencies of the current ecosystem
Your access and usage are tied to cloud providers who can lock you out at any time, while your digital identity depends on email, phone, or social logins that can also be revoked. Likewise, your data resides on their platforms, bound by shifting policies and legal requirements, leaving you with limited control and vulnerable to changes beyond your influence.
How Osvauld Works: A Story of True Independence
To understand how Osvauld helps you build a truly independent digital life, let's look at how trusted friends, Alice and Bob, collaborate.
The Foundation: Your Self-Made Identity
Alice doesn't sign up for Osvauld with an email or phone number. Instead, right on her own device—be it a laptop or a phone—she creates her own unique digital identity. This identity belongs to her, and her alone, from the moment of its creation. It's cryptographically guaranteed to be hers, and since she created it, no company can ever take it away.
How Collaboration Works: Direct, Private, and Reliable
Osvauld is built for people who already know and trust each other, like friends and colleagues. It offers a private space for them to connect and share.
1. The Ideal Connection: Direct and Instant
If Alice and Bob are both online, their devices connect directly to each other. When Alice shares a file, it goes straight from her device to Bob's—no middleman involved. This is the fastest, most private way to interact.
2. The Optional Hub: Your Personal Assistant
But what if Bob is offline when Alice sends a message or a document update? For enhanced reliability, Alice can choose to set up an Osvauld hub (a small, personal device) in her home.
This hub acts as her trusted, always-on assistant. She can send her files to her own hub, which will then securely forward them to Bob the moment he comes online.
This setup ensures their collaboration is never interrupted, and their shared projects are always in sync. It's an optional upgrade for convenience, not a requirement.
In both scenarios, every file is sealed in a way that is cryptographically guaranteed to be opened only by the intended recipient.
A New Level of Trust and Control
Because Osvauld is designed for trusted circles, it unlocks deeper ways to collaborate. Beyond just sending files back and forth, Alice can grant Bob specific permissions to access information directly on her primary device.
For example, she could give Bob's device cryptographically-guaranteed access to view a specific project folder on her laptop for one afternoon. This is the digital equivalent of giving a trusted colleague the key to your office for a few hours—powerful, secure, and entirely under your control.
This entire architecture—where you create your own identity and connect directly with your trusted network—is what makes you truly self-sufficient. Apps are designed to work offline because your data lives with you. You decide whether to connect directly or use a personal hub for convenience, ensuring you are never dependent on a third-party service again.
