DIGITAL INDEPENDENCE · PRACTICAL IT · STRONGER NETWORKS

Make your digital life
your own.

We help people and communities choose, understand and run the tools they rely on every day.

Independent by design

Understand your options and choose tools that respect your needs, privacy and freedom.

Useful every day

Practical support with communication, collaboration, websites and the infrastructure behind them.

Connected communities

Build resilient networks by sharing knowledge, tools and skills with the people around you.

People working together on technology
Technology should work for people

Independent IT starts with informed choices.

KABI helps individuals, teams and community groups make confident decisions about the technology they use every day. We bring hands-on experience with open tools, self-hosted services and community networks.

From choosing a private messaging or collaboration platform to planning a website, server or local network, we make the options understandable and fit the solution to the people who will use it.

We believe digital independence grows through practical skills, shared knowledge and relationships between people. We work alongside communities, not above them.

See how we approach it

Our approach

More agency, one practical choice at a time.

From using Nextcloud for files, calendars and collaboration to connecting locations with site-to-site VPNs, we help build private data networks across the internet. The aim is to keep your tools, data and infrastructure in your hands, with the knowledge to understand and manage them.

Know what you depend on.

We make the technology behind everyday services easier to understand, so you can decide what works for you.

Choose tools that fit.

There is no one-size-fits-all setup. We help weigh usability, privacy, cost and the skills needed to keep things running.

KABI Freedom

Keep control where it matters.

Use open standards, maintain your own backups and choose where services run. We help make the setup understandable, manageable and yours to shape.

Grow stronger networks.

People sharing skills and supporting one another are the foundation of resilient communities, online and offline.
