OnionPress

Your Decentralized Web Server

The founder of the Internet Archive is cooking up something new — and he wants your help testing it.

OnionPress turns your Mac into a web server with its own permanent address on the open Tor network. No hosting company. No monthly bill. No one can take it down but you.

Mac App Open Source Tor Network Wayback Backup

Your site is viewable by anyone with Tor Browser or Brave

What Makes It Different

Real software on your real computer. No cloud accounts, no platform lock‑in, no surprises.

Features
Personal

Runs on Your Mac

Your laptop is your web server. No cloud, no hosting company, no middleman. Open the lid and you're live.

Easy

Five-Minute Setup

Download, install, launch. Your site is live before your coffee gets cold.

Reliable

Works Anywhere

Tor punches through firewalls and NATs. Home network, coffee shop, campus Wi-Fi — it just works.

Reliable

Robust

Always up, because it's backed up and served on the Wayback Machine by default. A friend can run a mirror when your machine is off.

Archival

Archived & Replayed

Your posts are archived in the Wayback Machine. When you're offline, readers get the archived version.

Sovereign

Private by Default

No analytics, no tracking, no ads. Your readers aren't the product.

Creative

Full WordPress

Familiar interface. Any theme, any plugin. Total creative freedom.

Social

Connect with Readers

Follow the posts of your readers. Build a community around your site on your own terms.

Open

Free as in Freedom

Free and Open Source AGPL 3. No fees, no subscriptions, no strings attached.

Your Own Corner of the Web

Like GeoCities, but it's really yours. Make it weird. Make it wonderful. Make it you.
