HomeCloud
HomeCloud is a free, open-source device hub to access and control your devices across any network. Unlike tools that only work on the same WiFi or requires complex VPN setups, HomeCloud connects your devices seamlessly anywhere you are, while staying fully peer-to-peer.
Features
What makes HomeCloud unique
Peer-to-peer networking
All your devices connect to each other directly without routing any personal data to our servers.
End-to-end encrypted
Devices authenticate using on-device public key cryptography. Your data stays private and fully under your control.
Easy and quick setup
HomeCloud does not require complex setups for connectivity or pairing. Just login with your same email on every device.
Connect external tools with MCP
HomeCloud includes a local MCP (Model Context Protocol) server. Any MCP-compatible client can use the HomeCloud automation service to access your devices' files, photos, system information, and other exposed services.

HomeCloud vs other device companions
Most device bridge tool like KDE Connect, LocalSend, Sefirah breaks the moment you leave your home WiFi. People set up entire VPN infrastructure just to get clipboard sync working at the office or a coffee shop.
HomeCloud was built to work on any network, local or internet, while staying peer-to-peer. No VPN, no port forwarding, no firewall configs. It just connects.
But connectivity is just the foundation. HomeCloud also gives you things no other device bridge does: browse your phone's photo library from your computer, open remote terminal sessions, run automations, and connect external tools through MCP, all from anywhere, on any OS.
