Why we're building Pinner
A small business building storage infrastructure that respects your data.
What we believe
Four principles that shape every decision we make.
Private files don't need a privacy policy to stay private
Your files are encrypted before they leave your device. Even we can't read them
Reliability is a contract, not a promise
Your data stays available. Hosts only get paid when they prove it's there
Infrastructure complexity is our problem, not yours
Upload. We handle encryption, distribution, and backups automatically
Pricing should be boring
Pay for what you store and transfer. Priced upfront, no tiers to climb
Any file, any size. Encrypted before it leaves your device.
A unique fingerprint derived from your file's contents.
A permanent link. Valid as long as your content is pinned.

What is Pinner?
Pinner is your storage service.
Zero-knowledge encryption
Keys never leave your device. We can't read your files.
Verifiable storage
Hosts prove they're holding your data. Or they don't get paid.
Open source
Fully open on GitHub. Don't take our word for it. Read the code.
What We Stand For
Your data is yours.
We can't look at it. Zero-knowledge encryption means the keys never leave your device. We can't sell it. We can't train models on it. Not because we chose not to, but because the architecture makes it impossible.
Uptime is a contract, not a promise. Hosts only get paid when they prove your data is there. Pricing is storage and bandwidth, upfront. No tiers to climb.
No roadblocks: we may use automation to scale, but if you need a human, you will get one.
Real SMB: founder-owned LLC, no investors, no exit strategy.
Open by default: fully open source, public GitHub. Don't take our word for it. Read the code.

How It Works
Pin. Host. Store.
2. Host. Serve static websites directly from your stored content.
3. Store. Private data encrypted at rest. Only you can read your files.
