A shared drive with no cloud
Browse folders, drop files in, watch the space fill up — a little file server everyone on the network can reach.
Pirate Box Pocket →
Coming soon
Your own little server, off the grid.
A tiny board that runs your own apps — chat, file drops, games — over its own private Wi‑Fi network. No cloud, no account, no signal required.

Campsite
Six tents, zero bars
Share the map, the playlist, and the group photos without a single upload.
File drop, photo gallery →Cabin
A whole evening, no wifi
Pixel art, tic‑tac‑toe, and a guestbook everyone signs before they leave.
Games, guestbook →The shed
Lights on from the couch
GPIO pins wired to a relay, driven from a page on your phone.
Pin control, dashboard →How it works
01
Plug it in
Power it on and it's ready — no setup wizard, no account, nothing to install.
02
Connect to it
Your board broadcasts its own Wi‑Fi network. Join it — no router, no internet needed.
03
Pick an app
Choose from a library of ready-made examples — or build your own with the developer guide.
What it can actually do
Runs your own apps
Upload any HTML file and it just runs — a chat room, a file drop, a game, a dashboard.
Its own private network
Broadcasts its own Wi‑Fi hotspot. No router, no cell signal, no internet required.
Controls real hardware
A built-in API reads and drives GPIO pins — lights, switches, relays — straight from a webpage.
Talks in real time
A WebSocket endpoint broadcasts messages to everyone connected — handy for chat or live games.
Power & storage
Board
ESP8266 / ESP32-S3
The firmware flashes onto either — the PCB is built around the ESP32-S3.
Storage
SD card storage
Built-in SD slot on the PCB. Raw boards work too, just capped around 3MB of onboard flash.
Power
Power your way
Wall outlet, laptop, power bank, or solar panel — any 5V USB source works.
Admin
Admin file manager
Upload, list, and delete files, or set a new homepage, all from a browser.
Where to start
You bought one
Plug it in
Power it on, join its network, pick an app. There's no setup wizard to sit through.
Get started →You have a spare board
Flash it yourself
The firmware is free and runs on any ESP8266 or ESP32-S3. Flash it from your browser.
Flash a board →You write code
Build your own app
One HTML file, a handful of endpoints. GPIO, storage, and a WebSocket are already there.
