Local-first personal software
Software that stays yours.
Two tools that run on your machine, not someone else's cloud — a start page you shape into your own, and a desktop inbox that keeps your mail and its AI local. By default, your data stays with you.
Start is open source and in beta · Mailbox is in Mac alpha.
What ties them together
Your machine. Your data. Your rules.
Big tech abandoned the personal start page. SaaS wants your inbox on its servers. Boxento takes the other side.
Your data lives on your machine. Boxento connects to your services directly — it never sits in the middle.
Arrange it, resize it, fill it with what matters. The software bends to you, not the other way around.
Open source and self-hostable where it counts. Take your data and walk away whenever you like.
