Enclayve is a small, affordable physical device that you setup in your home to create and share a home-based social network. There are no subscriptions, no third-parties involved, there’s no data tracking, and you have full control. You can also choose who you share access with.

If you want to stay in touch with friends and family in the modern world, outside of texting or traditional phone calls, your best bet is social media. Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, whatever you use, whatever your family uses, it is a good way to stay communicative. The problem is that none of these networks are private and they’re all harvesting your data. But what if there was a way to create and serve a private social network, from the comfort and safety of your home, that you totally control? That’s the concept behind Enclayve a small, home-based social network device that does exactly as described. You set it up in your home, give access to who you want to have access, and manage everything. No algorithms. It’s not an online platform. No data harvesting.

It runs all on a physical device that you connect in your home using your home’s network. There are no public feeds. No unauthorized users. And there’s no curated content to wade through. There’s no third-party access whatsoever and your social space belongs to you with no tracking. No ads, no subscriptions, no nonsense. Sounds too good to be true, right?

Well, it’s not. You can even access Enclayve from a mobile app, tapping into your private network through your device at home. On the network, you can share photos, videos, and messages securely with people you invite.

What the heck is a private and home-based social network, anyway?

It sounds wild, but it’s really not that complicated to grasp. I would compare it to running your own public media server through a platform like Plex, but the biggest difference is that Enclayve has no public or cloud support whatsoever. The entire network and all data is stored on the actual private device in your home. Plex, by comparison, still runs data through the platform’s cloud services.

When you plug in the device and connect it, that’s it. Your private network is running and you can do what you want and share access with who you want. Enclayve says there are “three simple steps” to setting it all up and it’s not complicated at all. Plug in your Enclayve device, download the app, invite your family, friends, and anyone else you want to have access. You own it. It’s private by design with no public data. It’s also simple for everyone even your guests.

Surprisingly, it’s also $129 for the device with no subscriptions or extra hidden fees. Holy shit, what a breath of fresh air, am I right? Fuck subscriptions.

Who is it for?

Anyone that wants to run a private, home-based social network with granular controls. No ads, no public feeds, no data tracking and you decide who has access.
