What households run on it.

About 75 apps are in the catalogue. These are the ones people start with, and the subscriptions they replace.

  • The family photo library

    Every photo and video from every phone in the house, backed up automatically and searchable by face and place, on a drive you can hold.

    Instead of Google Photos, iCloud

  • Films, music and audiobooks

    Your own library on the TV, the car and the kids' tablets. Nothing disappears because a licence expired.

    Instead of Netflix, Spotify, Audible

  • Cameras that stay in the house

    Doorbell and driveway footage recorded and analysed on your own machine. No subscription to see last week.

    Instead of Ring, Nest Aware

  • Passwords and two-factor codes

    One vault for the household, syncing to every phone and browser, with the encrypted database on your own disk.

    Scan a letter and it's indexed and searchable forever. Budgets, recipes, shopping and chores in one place you control.

    A shared drive for the house that also works from outside it, plus calendars and contacts that sync without a middleman.

    Instead of Dropbox, Google Drive

  • Game servers for your friends

    A Minecraft or Valheim world that stays up, with a real address to hand out and no hosting bill.

    Instead of Realms, rented hosts

  • A workshop, when you're curious

    Git hosting, an editor in the browser, dashboards and automation. Not needed to get value from the box, but there when you want it.

Not limited to our catalogue.

The catalogue is one source among many. Anyone can publish one, and yours installs exactly like ours.

  • Community catalogues

    Point YoLab at a catalogue someone else publishes and its apps appear next to ours.

  • Your own apps

    Have a Helm chart? Add it as a custom app and install it like any other.

  • Publish a catalogue

    A catalogue is a Git repository and a small manifest. No approval process, no gatekeeper.

Start with one app. Add the rest whenever.

Apps install and uninstall in a couple of clicks, so nothing has to be decided up front.
