Dex is an insanely simple open source software (OSS) app store and hosting service.

Our mission is to help the most people possible gain control of their data and online lives by making their transition to ethical, privacy-respecting, cheaper, and open-source alternatives as smooth as possible.

We created Dex to help people get control of their data and therefore their online life. To ease their transition to ethical, open-source software that doesn't spy on them. To make it so they are never stuck in a walled garden again.

Unlike the big tech companies where everyone's data is stored in huge servers running proprietary software, Dex deploys everyone's apps into their own separate, virtual private server. In reality, this is a namespace in one of the kubernetes clusters that Dex runs. These virtual private servers are completely isolated from each other using network policies and run completely separate, small databases for every application that you deploy as opposed to grouping everything together into one large one. Additionally, all the code that we use to run these servers is open source, so if you ever decide you want to move away from Dex, you can export all of your data and get back up and running with the exact same setup somewhere else!

At Dex, we practice what we preach. We believe in self-soverignty and open-source software so we built our whole company using it!
