Sovereign email

Your mailbox lives on your own iron.

Not a provider's cloud. Not scanned for ads. Not held hostage by a subscription you can't leave. BeardMail runs your email on hardware you control -- and hands you the keys.

How it works

Email that answers only to you.

Most email is someone else's computer holding your private life. BeardMail flips that: the mailbox is yours, on your server, and this app is only a window into it.

01

It's on your server

Your messages, threads, and attachments live on your own node. No copy sits on a provider's cloud waiting to be read, sold, or breached.

02

Nobody reads it

No ad targeting, no AI training on your words, no "we scanned your inbox to help." Your mail is data you hold, not a product someone sells.

03

You can always leave

Export everything, point your domain elsewhere, walk away. No proprietary format, no hostage data, no cancellation maze. The exit is a feature.

Sovereignty isn't a setting. It's the whole design.

Every other mail service asks you to trust them with your data. BeardMail is built so you don't have to trust anyone -- because the mail never leaves your control in the first place.

Your address, your keys, your right to leave, and a clear record every time a message crosses the boundary to the outside world. That's the deal.

01
The records are yoursMessages are governed objects on your node -- versioned, integrity-checked, and readable only by you.
02
The keys are yoursEncryption keys stay on your hardware. No provider holds a master key to your inbox.
03
The exit is yoursLeave whenever you want, with everything, in a standard format. Sovereignty means the door is never locked.
04
The boundary is honestWhen mail crosses to Gmail or anywhere outside, you get a receipt. We never pretend to govern what we can't.
The suite

A whole workspace -- that answers only to you.

Google gives you mail, files, calendar and AI, all hosted on their cloud under their login. BeardMail gives you the same suite -- each its own app, all running on the node you own. Same tools. Opposite deal.

Mail

beard.Mail

Unlimited mailboxes on your domain. Webmail, mobile, IMAP. No ads, no scanning. Live now.

Files

beard.Drive

Your documents and files on your own storage -- not a data-mining cloud. Share across your household, keep the keys.

Time

beard.Calendar

Shared calendars for the family or the crew. Scheduling, availability, invites -- none of it feeding an ad profile.

People

beard.Contacts

Your address book, versioned and integrity-checked, synced across every app in the suite -- held on your node.

AI

Scout -- on every tier

A sovereign AI assistant that runs on your node and never sends your data off your server. Google bolts Gemini onto their surveillance. Scout answers only to you.

More

Docs, sheets & meet

The rest of the workspace is coming -- documents, spreadsheets, video -- each a sovereign app on your own iron. One suite, one owner: you.

Pricing

Buy it once. Own it forever.

No per-seat gouging. No monthly rent. You pay to build and license your node, we hand you the keys, and it's yours. Google charges a family of five ~$360 every year, forever -- you pay once and own the whole thing.
