Ovenlight: Private Web Apps

Ovenlight brings the web apps you run on your own computer to your iPhone, behind Face ID. Share any one of them with a friend through a single-use invite: they get that app, never your computer. Got an invite? Install Ovenlight, then open your invite link again. There is no account to create. YOUR OWN APPS • Publish a web app on your computer with the free Ovenlight connector, a command-line tool. In Ovenlight, choose Use My Own Computers and sign in once, and your apps show up on their own. • Each app opens full screen. Use Edit Apps to arrange them. SHARING WITH FRIENDS • Once you've made an app shareable from the connector on your computer, invite someone from People & Sharing. Ovenlight makes a link and a QR code that work once, on one iPhone, for 7 days. • Their iPhone reaches only the apps you invited them to: not the other apps on your computer, and none of your other devices. • Notes and screenshots they send with Send Feedback arrive on your computer, and you can read them in People & Sharing. • Remove someone from an app whenever you like. Their access ends at once, and Ovenlight deletes the app and everything it stored from their iPhone the next time it connects. IF A FRIEND INVITED YOU You need only Ovenlight: no account to create and no VPN to set up. Open the invite you were sent, or choose Join with Invite, and the app appears in your Ovenlight. Leaving removes that friend's apps and everything they stored on your iPhone. PRIVACY AND SECURITY • There is no Ovenlight account, and no analytics, ads or tracking. • Snowy Ghost runs no servers your apps pass through. Each app comes from the computer that hosts it, over an encrypted private connection. • Ovenlight locks with Face ID, Touch ID or your passcode, and locks again after a minute in the background, or after the time you choose in Settings. • Each app keeps its own separate storage. WHAT YOU NEED • An iPhone with iOS 18.1 or later. • To run your own apps: a Mac (macOS 13 or later), a Linux computer with systemd or a Windows 11 PC, running the free Ovenlight connector, and a Tailscale account. Download the connector from ovenlight.app/support. • The computer that hosts an app must be on and awake while anyone uses that app, and a Mac must also be logged in. When it's asleep or off, its apps can't open. • Friends you invite need only Ovenlight. Something not working? Choose Report a Problem in any app's menu. Tailscale is a trademark of Tailscale Inc.
