A new ✨ way to build

We're web enthusiasts frustrated with walled gardens 🥀 lack of interoperability 🔗 and the security risks 🚨 of apps today

We envisioned an internet with portable personal data 📊 that automatically syncs across devices ☁️ and shares securely. Where developers could easily build collaborative and offline-capable apps 👏🏽 without worrying about data privacy 🔐

We dreamt of a frictionless, user-owned web 🌐

So we built Basic.

Basic-ally better for developers 📱

📚 No state management

Ship complex apps faster without needing to manually manage state. We sync state automatically between clients and the server for you.

🖥️ Client SDKs

Our client SDKs are designed for ease of use, without the complexity of HTTP request, response and error handling.

💸 Lower server costs

Local-first architecture means your users query their localDB more and make less server calls, reducing your server load and costs.

🔒 Auth included

Add secure user sign-ups and logins to your app. We handle user management, account recovery, and token authentication.

🌍 Offline support + Multiplayer built-in

Our sync engine enables multi-device offline support, and multiplayer features (coming soon) for your app to save you months of development time.

✍🏽 Open source

We strive for a user-owned internet and will always remain open source. You won't face any vendor lock-in with Basic.

🔍 Secured by Basic 🔍

Basic creates personal data stores for every user, which apps can access if given permission. Sensitive data never touches the developer servers, and users always own their data.

Also better for users 👯

💖 User-owned internet

You own your data. You control who can access it. You can take it with you wherever you go.

🧑🏼‍💻 Interoperability

Imagine your health data, social graph, and more, all usable across any app you want.

∞ Use apps forever

Cloud apps cease to exist when they go out of business. With Basic, you will always own an instance of your apps forever.
