OurBook (P2P Social Network)
Conventional social networks store all information on central servers, forcing their users to give up control of their own data, compromising their privacy, and exposing them to surveillance and censorship.
ourbook is different! All your data is stored on your own device. No central servers are needed. Devices communicate with each other over a decentralized peer-to-peer network. All communication is anonymized and encrypted via Onion Routing (Tor).
Features
- Anonymous, peer-to-peer, fully decentralized
- Data remains on the user's own device
- All communication is sent through Tor for anonymization (onion routing)
- Full end-to-end encryption
- Completely free (free of charge and ad-free)
- Post text and images
- Share content
- Friend list
- Personal profile
- Private chat

I like the app but would like a little more control over the server side of the app, I want to be able to customize what the end user sees, so it fits my style and feel, I can't tell if the app creates the html files on the fly or if it has a template but I think it needs templates. It also needs a better way to getting to the clean web, the .to puts a banner what scares normal users, not a good idea. I know the app needs to be safe but if a user knows there social group is say they should be able to share or have searchable there network so maybe setting up a ourbook directory? All in all love the app tho, shame your other .onion apps don't work to go with it.
So much potential. If only it had a common post feed and the ability to comment on the posts of others. Knowing you are sharing information without any central server is great though.
Its need improvement - THE ONLY THING OURBOOK NERDS TO BE GOOD IS TO COPY FACEBOOK
Great idea, great app. A safe replacement for fb with full con troll of your own data. Would be good to comment on other's posts.
Not bad would prefer not using tor. But still good I see lots of potential
I don't have any friends on ourbook yet. I will update later once I have used more functions. This should make all the people who complain about ads on FB happy. 😀
great alternative to facebook's censoring and psych profiling
I'm a bit older and really need the option to increase text size
Tell us what you think
Only 1k users? Why?
Although I had not used this app for quite some time, I noticed that lately it started consuming CPU in the background. Furthermore it seemed that some few MBytes of data transfer has taken place. This is strange as there had not been such an app behaviour in the past. This is bad as I really liked this app.
Good ideea but needs further development
