PixelMeta Cloud Kit for families and small teams
Your digital life, in your hands.
PixelMeta builds local first tools and private cloud kits that let you keep your files, photos, and work on hardware you control. No noisy subscriptions. No mystery tracking. Just calm, reliable tech you own.
Based in DC. Built in small focused blocks between work, school, and real life.
What PixelMeta builds
Simple tools that respect your time, attention, and data.
Local first apps
Experiments in mood, habit, and knowledge tracking that store data close to you, not on a random company server.
Calm infrastructure
Tools that are boring on purpose. Fewer dashboards, fewer alerts, more time for real life.
Teaching and documentation
Guides that show regular people how to host their own tools, even if they are not full time engineers.
Why local first
Most people pushed their entire lives into the cloud without really choosing it. Photos, school work, client files, journals. Everything sits on servers they never see, owned by companies they do not control.
Local first does not mean anti cloud. It means starting from the question: can this live closer to me. On my hardware. Under my rules.
Where this is going
PixelMeta starts with a single product, the Cloud Kit, and grows slowly into a small ecosystem: mood and habit trackers, personal knowledge tools, and guides for people who want more control over their digital life.
If that resonates with you, you are early. Stick around.
