This is not a startup.
We’re not VC-backed. We’re not here to “disrupt”.
Librebox exists because I'm tired of tech that spies on us, manipulates us, locks us in, and pretends it’s doing us a favor.
US tech giants control our infrastructure, our attention, and our choices. A tweak in some ad-targeting algorithm reshapes how millions think and behave. This is power unchecked, opaque, and wildly centralized. It’s tech aligned with state-level surveillance, censorship, and control. The line between corporate platforms and state intelligence has blurred into a single system of manipulation and profit.
Open source software is the antidote
Transparent, adaptable, and free from corporate lock-in. Without tracking and dark patterns. It’s tech made by communities, not corporations. Tools that put us in control. Tools with the power to break our dependence on the tech monopolies.
I'm Tobias Ahlqvist, a software engineer from Sweden.
I started Librebox to help individuals and organisations make the transition to open source. For people without the technical know-how, hosting your own software can be tricky. That's why we handle the setup, configuration, and keeping the servers healthy and secure, all in the EU.
