What's new in 2.0

The biggest umbrelOS update yet.

Arriving Sep 22. Public beta out now.

Back up photos instantly. The Photos app, with a library backed up from an iPhone.

Run any OS within Umbrel. Ubuntu, Windows, Fedora, and Android on retro computers.

Manage Umbrel with AI agents over MCP. Ask an agent to install Plex, and it is done.

FailSafe (RAID) wherever you run umbrelOS: a NAS and a row of mini PCs.

Cloud imports from Google Drive, iCloud, and Dropbox into Umbrel.

Your photos, finally home.

Automatic camera-roll backup from the Umbrel app for iPhone. Your whole library, browsable on your phone or any browser at home. No subscription.

Run entire operating systems.

Install Ubuntu, Windows 11, or Android in one click, then use the full desktop right in a browser tab.

Bring your cloud home.

Import or continuously back up Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, and iCloud. Then find anything instantly with background indexing and dramatically faster search.

A home cloud for everyone.

Give everyone their own account, private home folder, and desktop. Share only the apps and folders you choose.

Your AI can use it too.

Connect Claude, Codex, or OpenClaw over MCP to install apps, organize files, and diagnose services. Each agent gets its own token you can revoke anytime.

Effortless Storage

Add drives, mirror them with FailSafe, and watch health from an intuitive UI. umbrelOS handles SSD acceleration, drive replacement, and monthly scrubbing.

The Umbrel appNEW

Your cloud, in your pocket.

The Umbrel app for iPhone and Mac connects to your Umbrel over your local network, and automatically over Tailscale when you're away from home.

The craft

The little things aren't little.

Most server software stops at "it works." umbrelOS keeps going, until every click, keystroke, and right-click feels considered.

Command-K: anything, one keystroke away.

Private by design

Built for trust.

Not trust by promise. Trust by architecture. Open code, local networking, and hard boundaries between apps.

Built in the open.

umbrelOS source code is available publicly on GitHub.

Star on GitHub11.8K

Local by default.

Your Umbrel lives on your network and answers only to you. There's no company website to sign into just to reach your own server. Open umbrel.local and you're in.

Every app in its own sandbox.

Apps run in isolated containers, each with its own data. One app can touch another's files only when you grant it permission

An app store anyone can audit.

Every app in the Umbrel App Store is packaged in the open and reviewed before it ships, with source code a click away. Built something worth self-hosting? Put it on thousands of Umbrels.
