* "Free" means you pay with your personal information, behavioral data, and attention. With Ofni, free means free.
A modular ecosystem built around one principle: you control your data.
Think of Ofni as a city. Each district serves a purpose — apps, data, identity, themes — but they all share the same infrastructure. You walk in, pick what you need, and build your life around your choices.
No single company owns the city. No ads on the billboards. Every service is free and respects your privacy by design.
You arrive at the Dome — Ofni's front door. From there, discover apps, browse the marketplace, or plug in providers that match your needs.
Every interaction is invitation-based and encrypted. No tracking pixels, no behavioral profiling, no data brokers lurking behind the scenes.
Need authentication? Plug in an auth provider. Want a dashboard? Add a data provider. Need AI? There's a provider for that. Each one does one thing well — compose them into exactly what you need.
Providers are interchangeable. Don't like one? Swap it out. Your data stays portable because it belongs to you, not the service.
Ofni uses a publish-subscribe messaging system. Elements and services talk through events — no hard dependencies, no spaghetti imports. Add or remove pieces without breaking anything.
New capabilities appear the moment you drop them into the page.
