Oku is a browser with an emphasis on local-first data storage.
[← Back to home page]({{ global.url }})

Oku is a browser with an emphasis on local-first data storage.\
It comes with a unique peer-to-peer protocol that enables:

* Creating & publishing media without hosting fees
* Sharing files directly with friends
* Storing personal data on the devices you control
* Synchronising files between your devices

Using Oku, you can create *replicas*, which are in essence sharable drives.
Replicas can hold files & folders, and can be shared and retrieved by their IDs.
Unless the author of a replica shares a key allowing that replica to be modified, that replica can only be viewed.

## Disclaimers & FAQs

> Does this have anything to do with cryptocurrencies or 'blockchain'?

No.

> Is this ready to be my default browser?

No. Oku is still actively in development.

> Is this a derivative of Google Chrome?

No. Oku uses WebKit, the same browser engine found in Safari.

> What platforms does Oku support?

Currently, Oku is only available on operating systems using the Linux kernel.

> What does the name mean?

'Oku' is a place that poet Matsuo Bashō arrived at after a long journey. It was simply a name I'd stumbled upon when beginning development on the browser.
The name itself does not carry much personal significance; if it has any problematic associations I'm unaware of, please let me know and I will rename the project.
