Say hello to
self-sovereignty.
All our interactions on the internet today are mediated by a few companies who offer “free” services in exchange for storing our data on their servers to spy on us.
Running a personal server fundamentally changes that. You and your family’s photos, videos, files, notes, passwords — everything, have nothing to do with someone else’s computer. They’re a part of your private life, and now they can all be stored by you, in your home, on your Umbrel.
Here's what you can do with Umbrel
Run your personal Bitcoin and Lightning node.
The Bitcoin network is made up of thousands of nodes that verify every single transaction in the blockchain.
Some of them mine Bitcoin too, but unlike a mining node, running a non-mining node doesn’t require expensive hardware.
Connect all of your favorite wallets.
Achieve unparalleled privacy by connecting your wallet directly to the Bitcoin node on your Umbrel. This ensures that your wallet company can’t spy on your transactions, or even worse — lie to you.

Don’t trust. Verify.
On Steroids.
Independently store and validate every single Bitcoin transaction with your Bitcoin node. Plus, transacting with your own node also helps keep the entire Bitcoin network decentralized; win-win!
Live the future of Bitcoin with Lightning, today.
The Lightning Network offers ultra cheap and almost instant Bitcoin transactions. Umbrel runs a Lightning node out of the box so you can start leveraging the power of Lightning today.
Run your private cloud with Nextcloud.
An entirely self-hosted Google Drive replacement — store your documents, calendar, contacts, photos and videos on your Umbrel with Nextcloud instead of Google’s servers.
Block ads on your entire network with Pi-hole.
Yes, the entire network — not just browsers. No more having ads track you and your family members everywhere on the internet.
Self-host your photo and video library with PhotoPrism.
Privately host, browse, organize, and share your photo and video collection with PhotoPrism, and say goodbye to uploading your visual memories to the “cloud”.
