Not a plan, not a promise — these work today on a live Felhom box

What you use every day

  • Photos, documents, media

    Your phone's photos upload to your own machine on their own. Your scanned papers are read and made searchable. Your films and music play in the browser and in mobile apps.

  • Network shares

    The box's folders appear in Windows File Explorer and the Mac Finder — you drag files onto them like onto any other folder. Each share can be set to read-only.

  • 58 apps to install

    You install them from the Dashboard in a few clicks — no command line. Almost all of them are open source (the exceptions are marked on the apps page), and every one runs on your machine.

  • In English or Hungarian

    The Dashboard works in English and in Hungarian. The household picks the language, and the e-mails about the box follow it.

What protects you in the background

  • Automatic backups on three levels

    Every night the box makes a backup on the box, a second copy on a second drive (if there is one), and an encrypted copy on remote storage. Your shared folders are in the second-drive copy and in the remote copy too.

  • A recovery code only you know

    The key to your remote backup's encryption is a recovery code that appears exactly once — on your screen. I do not know it and cannot recreate it. That also means that without the code, I cannot read the remote backup either: keep it somewhere safe.

  • Restore when something goes wrong

    A deleted file can be brought back from the backup. If the box itself breaks, your apps' data can be brought back from the encrypted remote backup onto the reinstalled system — with the recovery code.

  • Works when the internet is down

    The box is in your home. If the internet goes down, you still reach your photos and files on your home network — they do not depend on a faraway provider's permission.

What I take care of

  • Remote monitoring, automatic updates

    I watch how the box is doing. The Dashboard updates itself to the latest release, and the box's system gets its security updates too — you do not have to do anything. If something breaks, I see it.

  • Careful app updates

    A new version of an app reaches you only after I have tried it. Before the update the box makes a fresh backup, and if the new version does not start properly, the box puts the previous one back by itself, with your data.
