Daplie’s flagship product, Daplie Cloud, is a plug-and-play personal server for home or office. It is designed to make it easy for non-technical people to benefit from owning their own server.

The company’s founders, Bryson Hill and AJ ONeal, have created open-source platforms for app development and internet of things connectivity so individuals and brands can find new ways to harness cloud and crowd computing on a decentralised network.

The founders worked on the insight that most people currently access the internet as users rather than peers, using servers owned by large companies such as Google, and they want to change that.

ONeal says: “I wanted to stream my music from anywhere, on any device. So I spent years building a closed-loop system that is secure and private, yet totally shareable with whoever I want. Really, all I wanted was to own my stuff and manage it however I want. That’s what Daplie does.”
