Disroot is a platform offering a collection of online services built around principles of freedom, privacy, federation, and decentralization. It addresses the problem of centralized services that track users, serve ads, and profile or mine data for commercial purposes. The project states that it does not track, advertise, profile, or mine data, and that it does not use user data for any purpose other than enabling connection and use of the service. Disroot is based in Amsterdam, was founded in 2015, is maintained by volunteers, and runs entirely on free and open source software.
The platform groups together a range of applications, including Email, Cloud storage, Audio, CryptPad, XMPP Chat, Pads, Bin, Search, Forgejo, Akkama, Translate, Scribe, Spliit, and Vault. It emphasizes federation and decentralization, allowing services to operate as one node within a larger network of independent servers. An Android Disroot app is available to access the services.
Disroot is intended for individuals seeking open, decentralized, and privacy-respecting alternatives to proprietary platforms. The project is funded through donations and community support, with domain linking available for regular supporters and options to purchase additional email and cloud storage space.
