F*CK BIG TECH
Big tech wins because it’s easy, not because it’s better. You shouldn’t need to be an engineer to use good tools or maintain infrastructure just to run a note app or a password manager. Podless lets you run powerful open source apps in a few clicks — no servers, no Docker, no headaches.
Nothing that locks you in- Nobody reads along, nobody sells you on
- The developers get paid
Takes less than 5 clicks
Yes, we counted. Most platforms make you set up servers, configure things, read documentation and hope nothing breaks. Podless is built differently. Pick an app, click start, and it’s ready to use in seconds.
- No setup process
- Ready in seconds
- No technical knowledge needed
24 apps waiting for you
For your photos, documents, notes, recipes and more. Ready in a few clicks.
A Google Photos replacement that doesn’t spy on you or hold your memories hostage. Immich handles automatic backups, smart search, albums, memories, and sharing out of the box.
Pick your size
You pay for what your app actually needs.
CPU
0.25 coresCores decide how much your app can do at once. For yourself, the smallest step is plenty. You only need more when a lot of people use it at the same time.
RAM
0.25 GBYour app’s short-term memory while it runs. A note app barely needs any. With photos and files, a bit more makes it noticeably faster.
Storage
100 MBRoom for everything you keep, from files and photos to notes and backups. Start small, grow any time, nothing gets lost.
Cost per month
Drag a slider and the price follows. No hidden fees.
No lock-inEvery app, one place to run it

Got questions?
The ones people ask most, answered briefly.
Podless lets you run open source apps without managing servers, Docker or infrastructure.
You pick an app, click start, and we handle the rest.
You don’t even know what the hell Docker is? Perfect. You don’t need it here.
No.
You don’t need to know Docker, servers or any terminal commands.
And honestly, even if you do, there’s a good chance you’re tired of setting all that up over and over again for every little tool you want to try.
Life’s too short to babysit servers 24/7.
Because sometimes you just want to use the app.
Not spend your evening debugging containers, reading setup docs or wondering why everything suddenly stopped working after an update.
Photo libraries, document archives, bookmark managers, budgeting tools, recipe managers, a CRM and a lot more.
Basically, good open source software that deserves to be easier to use.
Yes.
Just kidding.
Your apps are your business, not ours.
No ads. No creepy tracking. No “AI-powered engagement analytics” nonsense.
Just the software you actually wanted to use.
Yes.
Your app can live on your own domain like a normal product — without turning DNS configuration into a personality trait.
Updates are handled automatically — we test new releases on our own instances before they reach yours.
Backups go to storage you control. Connect any S3 bucket and Podless backs your app up daily, encrypted.
Your data never has to live in one place only.
Because most people don’t want to think about containers, pods or infrastructure.
They just want good software that works.
Not really.
Most people pay €10–20/month for a server alone — and still have to set everything up, maintain it, handle updates, backups and fix things when they break.
The smallest apps here cost around €1.70 a month, and most stay under €6. Only the largest — Immich with face recognition — reach about €8.80.
So unless you actually enjoy managing infrastructure, it’s probably cheaper than you think.
Most of the apps here are built by small teams or single people.
We think whoever writes the software should get something when more people use it.
So we work with projects directly and pass on 20 % of the revenue their app makes here.
That way they are not stuck with donations, but earn as their project grows.
