Ovenlight brings the web apps you run on your own computer to your phone, behind your fingerprint or screen lock. 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. Touch and hold an app to move it or add it to your Home screen with its own icon.
• Made for self-hosted and homelab apps, and the small ones you make for family and friends, like a recipe box, a chore chart or a house guide for a sitter.

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 phone, for 7 days.
• Their phone 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 phone the next time it connects.

IF A FRIEND INVITED YOU
You need only Ovenlight, on Android or iPhone: 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 phone.

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, and any feedback sent to it, travels end-to-end encrypted between your phone and the computer that hosts it.
• To connect your phone, Tailscale's service sees basic device details, such as a device name, IP address and how well its connection works, but not what's in your apps.
• Ovenlight locks with your fingerprint, face or screen lock, 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
• A phone with Android 10 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.
• Each app must run on the computer with the connector and serve plain HTTP on 127.0.0.1.
• 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.
