Owning your everyday internet

In a digital landscape where large platforms control the tools you use daily, Mu offers an alternative: a complete stack of essential internet services you can own and manage. It combines news, mail, search, weather, markets, video, blogs, places, reminders, and apps into a single package. While these tools often come with trade-offs, Mu respects your privacy and attention by avoiding ads, tracking, and algorithmic feeds.

What sets Mu apart is that it’s open source and can be self-hosted as a single Go binary. This means you have the option to run the entire stack yourself, giving you more control over your data and how your digital life operates. However, self-hosting is completely optional. Using hosted services through Mu provides the same functionality without the complexities of managing your own server.

Every feature in Mu is a real service accessed via a straightforward API, making it easy for developers to integrate. When you’re signed in, you have a consistent experience with an inline agent that streamlines everything you need. Although turning to Mu might require a shift in thinking about how you access these daily tools, the benefits of ownership and privacy can make it worthwhile.

Ultimately, Mu is about giving people choices—they can prefer the ease of a hosted environment or embrace the freedom that comes with self-hosting. Whether you’re a casual user or a developer, the core idea remains simple: take back control of your everyday internet.
