Decentralized encrypted filesystem with built-in secure messaging and private social network.
Core Features
- End-to-end encrypted file storage and sharing, server cannot see content
- Built-in secure messaging, encrypted email with bridge, and private social network
- Based on IPFS for P2P storage, no central node, censorship-resistant
- Web apps run in sandbox, require user permission to access data
- Supports self-hosting or official paid service
What It Can't Do
- •Note: Peergos does not currently provide anonymity; use Tor if needed. The official hosted service is paid. Lost passwords cannot be recovered; keep your mnemonic or master key safe.
Use Cases
- Safeguard personal privacy with secure storage and sharing of sensitive files
- Encrypted communication and collaboration space for teams or families
- Replace traditional cloud drives and social networks to avoid data exploitation
Peergos is a peer-to-peer encrypted global filesystem with fine-grained access control, designed to resist surveillance of data content or friendship graphs. It includes a secure messenger, an encrypted email client and bridge, and a completely private social network where users cryptographically control who sees what. Built on IPFS for storage and routing, it ensures data remains owner-controlled even if the server is compromised. The web UI is sandboxed, preventing data exfiltration without user permission. Peergos aims to be self-hostable, independent of central TLS Certificate Authorities, and provides a beautiful interface for both desktop and mobile users. Payments fund the hosted service at peergos.net, but the software is open-source.
