Peergos

There's a new @peergos.org release out where we add support for CALDAV and CARDDAV on MacOS, as well as login over LAN with http: github.com/Peergos/web-...

This is the reason why I designed @peergos.org to dial by key. I wish atproto had adopted that, but I know there were reasons.

Tiles and Files! There's a new Peergos release out which includes tiles in the newsfeed. The first user of this is the calendar app to render shared calendar events. Not on Peergos yet? Come join the future - a secure and private web! #NoSurveillanceCapitalism peergos.org github.com/Peergos/web-...

Tiles (sandboxed apps) in @peergos.org are normally full-screen affairs, but now they can have a tile mode which is displayed directly inline in the newsfeed. The first example of this is the calendar displaying event details directly in your feed rather than having to open the full calendar app.

G'day folks! There is a new @peergos.org release out with 2 cool new features. Now you can set a space limit on any file/dir you share writable, including secret links. So we've finally removed the warning that anyone you share write capability to could fill your space! github.com/Peergos/web-...

@dgruning.bsky.social and 2 others wrote an interesting paper on how to have an actual prosocial architecture for social media protocols. They analyse ActivityPub, ATProto, Nostr and @peergos.org Our client-assembled feeds should get 100% on Algorithmic Sovereignty though. arxiv.org/pdf/2609.35413

This is a little demo of the benchmark. It hashes 4MiB in a single thread and takes the best of 10 runs. peergos.github.io/blake3-speed/

There's a new release out, folks! github.com/Peergos/web-...

Now you can browse into zip files on @peergos.org You can download individual files or view them directly in the app registered for them. You can even open websites or markdown wikis directly inside the zip. Links and images to relative files in the zip work. We also support adding new files, ...

There's a new release out which is AWESOME. 150x faster sync. Much prettier sync and drive mount UI. Uploads no longer block the UI. Also single use backup 2FA codes. github.com/Peergos/web-...

Peergos is a personal data layer for the internet. Free yourself from servers holding your identity hostage. Free yourself from apps holding your data hostage. Free yourself from surveillance capitalism. Free yourself.

Lovely customer feedback, "I recently got a Pioneer membership with Peergos and am impressed with how versatile the feature set is compared with Proton Drive and Tresorit. Well done!"

This was super fun, and found a bunch of rough UX edges in Peergos which are all fixed now.

It is possible to have federation that keeps end users in control and doesn't allow 3rd party copying of your data without your consent. That's exactly what @peergos.org protocol does. There are of course tradeoffs but it is the right choice for user agency and democracy.

Hooray! Our first government contract for @peergos.org! EU governments are starting to realise what real digital sovereignty means. It means portable identity, portable data, and end-to-end encryption. Mass surveillance is not compatible with democracy.

Dialing keys is definitely the right approach. We've been doing that in @peergos.org since 2019: peergos.org/posts/dev-up...

I'm super excited about the upcoming drive mount for @peergos.org which lets you lazily mount your entire Peergos drive, with partial sync and offline writes. It also improves the webdav bridge so that uploads of files automatically skip identical chunks, and it supports Range based GETs and PUTs.

I don't have much time for bluesky these days, but here's 3 big releases of @peergos.org. The first adds cross platform thumbnail generation for images and videos in our sync client. Also 5x fewer syscalls in the sync local enumeration. github.com/Peergos/web-...

This is a good start, but is missing a critical part: private data and sharing. Without privacy there can be no democracy. The obvious solution there is @peergos.org and we'd love to be included.

Apple and Google are gradually expanding their use of hardware-based attestation. They're convincing a growing number of services to adopt it. Google's Play Integrity API and Apple's App Attest API are very similar. Apple brought it to the web via Privacy Pass, which Google intends on doing too.

There's a big new release of @peergos.org out with atomic multi-writer commits! I've wanted this for years, but finally did it. github.com/Peergos/web-... Lots of fixes and improvements across the board, including to the app/tile sandbox.

Fix the incentives, fix the system. Don't be part of surveillance capitalism.

There's a new Peergos release out with 1000x resumption of large uploads and 10x faster deletes! Come and join the growing user agency revolution! If it is not E2EE, you don't own or control it. Control your data, control your destiny! github.com/Peergos/web-...

It's a good day when I make resuming uploads of large directories 1000x faster in @peergos.org Next up, an even bigger speedup for resuming huge file uploads, simply by switching from a linear chunk scan to a batched binary search (should be ~5000x for resuming a 600GB file halfway).

We've been planning and working on this for over a decade in @peergos.org We already use hybrid PQ key exchange, so your data is already safe from exposure by a CRQC. We plan to use SLH-DSA for identity and am ML-DSA hybrid for writing spaces. We are already part way through the latter.

There's a new release of @peergos.org out! This one includes a bunch of optimisations and fixes, like skipping identical remote files during folder uploads, and fixes for the MacOS webview which I broke. Also a Korean translation and support for LibreOffice WASM build. github.com/Peergos/web-...

My hesitation with ucan is the amount of asymmetric crypto limits its scalability. There is a reason why S3 only had symmetric auth algorithms for many years. There are better solutions.

A great post on the evolution of power in apps as formats became proprietary and then cloud based. www.orionreed.com/posts/app-fi... This is why the data model in @peergos.org is so powerful - you own your data, and neither apps nor even your PDS can circumvent this, guaranteed by E2EE.

Check @peergos.org they basically got the whole thing figured out.

small #fosdem sticker haul, but quality

Can't believe how far @peergos.org has progressed since I tried it a few years ago - great FOSDEM presentation by @ianopolous.bsky.social

Super looking forward to seeing lots of cool people, hearing about lots of cool things, and presenting @peergos.org this weekend at @fosdem.org fosdem.org/2026/schedul...

One cool thing is that @peergos.org supports client-side verified streaming and range requests in browsers today without needing blake3. All you need is a known merkle tree structure, a fixed hash function and a chunk size. Blake3 is cool, but it's not magic. Every app in Peergos gets this for free

The good news is that we designed our social graph to be private, even from your own server! bsky.app/profile/iano...

2025 was huge at @peergos.org. Here's everything we achieved: peergos.org/posts/2025 Highlights: * desktop and Android apps * sync * post-quantum encryption * migration support in the PDS UI * quic * shared-with page * moving closer to a CRDT There are over 400 self hosted servers now! Thank you 💚

Don't forget there are many apps for Peergos too, from tldraw to chess to VLC, and you can write your own too. Here are the built-in ones: peergos.net/public/peerg... All apps store all data *privately* on your PDS E2EE. Yes, you heard that right. There is no "off protocol" data, or anything else.

Peergos is starting to get quite awesome. It's the only protocol I'm aware of that has 1) portable identity and data 2) portable social graphs 3) private data 4) private social graph 5) private metadata 6) E2EE (private data, even from your PDS) 7) Tamper proof data (even with compromised PDS)

There's a new release out folks! We've switched to Snap for Linux installs, enabled quic transport, and made a bunch of ui improvements. github.com/Peergos/web-...
