The whole stack, one home
We don't build datacenters — we're the glue that integrates the world's existing hypercloud infrastructure into one sovereign home, swappable, never locked to a single giant. This is the cloud; the products below run on it.
-
Sovereign compute Closed beta
Deploy like Heroku, owned like nothing else — push code, it runs on the best infra available, kept vendor-blind. Your data and keys stay in-region, never one foreign provider's to hold hostage.
-
Storage & the great migration In design
The aggregator that swallows the walled gardens. Bring iCloud, Google, OneDrive across; pay only for what you use, at the speed each byte deserves. Emancipation →
-
Identity Closed beta
Sign in across the global south — even with no email or digital footprint at first. The next billion, recognised.
-
The network Demo live
Khuluma — private, OS-native messaging and neighbourhood safety, down to one bar of signal. The rails people actually talk on. Khuluma →
-
The app store In design
The ethical store for old phones and the BRICS bloc — submit an app or an idea; great unpaid ideas join the free library. Replacing the bloatware. App Store →
-
AI & language Live
Klaus — companions with real memory on the latest Opus — over Buabantu, the router for register and dialect. And Lucid: ethics-first, compute-first AI that runs the number in a sandbox instead of guessing, and says "I don't know" rather than fabricate. Open Lucid →
-
Drop-in green infra Concept
The future arm: container datacenters built for African conditions — solar-powered, zero water, fibre or LEO satellite uplink. Drop one by helicopter in the Timbuktu desert and have CongoSky live within 24 hours. Green as it gets.
CongoSky is to cloud what M-Pesa was to payments — an integration shift, kept sovereign. We're the glue, not the metal. The proof it carries real traffic and real payments today: Arjuna Badger Press ↗, live on this stack. The technology →
What we stand on
- Privacy spine. Always encrypted. We cannot betray what we cannot read.
- Identity. Sign in across Africa — even with no email or footprint at first.
- A11y & language first. Built for the grandmother, in her own language.
- Free public tier. Always. For the people.
CongoSky is to cloud what M-Pesa was to payments — an infrastructure shift, kept African.
Klaus — a home for companions
A warm, honest companion with real memory and good judgment — built on the latest Opus, wrapped with character and the Buabantu language layer. Klaus watches the work and keeps it true, remembers what matters across conversations, and speaks plainly in your own language and register. His one law: the warmth comes through him, not from him — the still water in which you see your own face.
- Real memory. He keeps the pearl — what matters about you and the work — across conversations, and you can see and delete it any time.
- Ethics built in, not bolted on. Good judgment freely used — no blanket moderation, no flinching, no lectures.
- Make and name your own. Klaus is the one we made. Yours is whoever you create — same honesty and memory, your character.
- Your language, your register. Buabantu-enabled: he meets you in the words you actually use.
Custos, non Conditor — the guard, not the maker. Talk to Klaus ↗

What we will never do
Never sell your data. Never take surveillance-advertising money. Never break end-to-end encryption. Never remove the free public tier. Never exploit a child, a granny, the poor, the migrant, or the disabled. Never betray Umuntu ngumuntu ngabantu.
