Our commitment

People first. No compromise.

Lombok is built on the fundamental principle that humanity deserves software which doesn't require sacrifice, be it in terms of privacy, functionality, experience, or cost.

Open Source - AGPL 3.0

Lombok is made for people, not profit. No deceptive pricing tiers. No “open-core”. No locked up features or “community edition”. No pandering to VCs. Just pure functionality, made as open and accessible as possible.

First class UX

Open source shouldn’t demand compromise. Software that aims to be a core part of your personal and professional life simply must provide a world-class experience for the administrator and for the end user.

Brutally Versatile

Self-host on a laptop in your closet, or scale horizontally in the cloud. Use your own HDDs or any combination of S3-compatible storage providers. Build custom apps with embedded UIs and full async workflow capabilities.

Made for You

Stop squeezing yourself into a product model designed for the masses by Big Tech.

Personal

Take full control of your most important and sensitive data and stop relying on untrusted third-parties to always act in your best interest.

  • No Big Tech data mining or prying eyes
  • No AI training on your content
  • No inflationary pricing or vendor lock-in
  • A long-term solution you can trust
  • UX so nice your loved ones will actually use it

Builder

Easily put together custom UI and/or backend integrations for personal use or to share with others. Lombok gives you the boilerplate and then gets out of the way.

  • Define top-level app routes and/or embed custom views in Lombok's folder explorer
  • React to events and trigger async tasks defined as custom docker workers or serverless functions
  • Declaritively configure native UIs in the Lombok apps, including tvOS, using our A2UI-based DSL & component catalog

Journalists, Activists & Non-Profits

End your reliance on Big Tech services and sacrificing your data sovereignty in the process.

  • Zero risk of data exfiltration by malicious governments or law enforcement agencies
  • Low cost-of-entry (run it on a RaspberryPi or old laptop), and low maintenance overhead
  • Easy to temporarily or permanently scale storage with using any S3-compatible service

Freelancers & Teams

Spin up a Lombok server as a central collaboration hub for your team or project.

  • Multi-server support in the native apps make it easy to stay connected across different teams and projects
  • Add collaborators on-the-fly without having to interpret complex pricing schemes or juggle seat availability
  • File comments and reactions enable on-platform discussions, and activity notifications keep everyone in the loop
  • Create custom app integrations for demonstration or collaborative prototyping

Distributed Storage & Backup

Mix & match any S3-compatible storage backends to achieve your desired balance of performance, reliability, and cost. Duplicate critical data to multiple locations for redundancy.

The Lombok App Platform

Lombok’s app platform lets you build highly custom app experiences for your users without having to reinvent the wheel. Get authentication, data persistence, background tasks, notifications, and a component library out of the box.

Have a product in your workflow that's letting you down? Have your coding agent build a replacement, using our app development docs and checklists to keep them on track.

Embedded UIs

Extend Lombok with top-level app screens and alternate or supplemental explorer views that make your app feel like a core part of the platform.
