Join our community on Matrix & Discord

v1.0.0 Coming Soon for Mac, Windows, & Linux

Have you ever wondered what it'd be like if the internet wasn't controlled by a handful of big companies? That's what the distributed web, or DWeb, is all about. It's a new kind of internet that operates on a network of computers where everyone shares and cooperates. This way, no single entity can control or shut it down. It's like turning the entire web into a giant, global community project.

Peersky is your personal gatekeeper to a new way of accessing web content. Imagine a world where you can access web pages, communicate securely, and store or share files directly from a global network of peers, without relying on centralized servers. With Peersky, this vision becomes a reality.

It works by leveraging multiple protocols like IPFS, Hypercore, and Web3. Peersky offers a variety of local P2P applications optimized for specific tasks. For instance, peersky://chat facilitates secure, peer-to-peer messaging, while peersky://upload is used for decentralized file storage. With peersky://editor, users can effortlessly build and publish websites. As Peersky continues to grow, new protocols and P2P apps will be added, expanding its capabilities and appeal.

Peersky is designed for everyone, offering a user-friendly experience that enhances privacy and digital autonomy, empowering users to explore the web without traditional internet infrastructure.
