Cozy - Simple, Versatile, Yours

⚠️ This repository is no longer maintained. It was the first version of the Cozy personal cloud server. We are actively developping a new, improved, version: Cozy V3. You can follow the development here, to test it and report bugs.

Cozy is an app-based personal cloud you host at home. It turns a low-cost piece of hardware like a Raspberry Pi 2 or an online VPS into a powerful app platform. It comes with common applications: a contacts manager, a calendar, a webmail and a filebox. An Android app allows you to sync your contacts, calendars and files with your mobile. Last but not least, the Cozy Community has built many personal tools like a feed reader, a bank operation manager or an IRC client (100 000 apps were downloaded in 2015).

Cozy is based on Node.js and allows realtime interaction between apps. Any app can request access to other application data. That way apps can communicate and share information.

Translators

Like many free and open source projects, you can contribute by translating the user interface texts. To manage this, we use the Transifex platform. Cozy is already translated into English, French, German and Spanish. If you want to add your own language, connect with us via our Transifex Dashboard!

Developers

Building an app for Cozy is the fastest way to learn full stack development with Node.js. We propose a complete Tutorial that will teach you how to use Express.js and AngularJS to build your first Single Page Application.

For experimented web developers you can use the frameworks you want. The only requirement is to use the Cozy database driver.

Whatever your skill level, we propose a Mentorship Program. A member of the Cozy Team will be there to as you build your Cozy app. Feel free to sign up via the forum.

Benefits for developers

Connectors

Alternatively, there is Konnectors, an app that will enable you to fetch data from numerous vendors. It's easier to build a connector than write an app. Look at the Konnectors repository for more information.
