You’ve built up so much — playlists, reading lists, watched films, favorite recipes, saved ideas. They mean something.Yet:🚫 Apps shut down. Services change APIs. Files disappear.🔒 Your movie archives, favorite tracks, books you loved — locked behind logins and hidden from view⚠️ When platforms fail or disallow exports, your “digital self” can simply vanish.🕳️ Passwords can be lost with a device or even the passing of a loved one.Digital S[h]elf exists because permanence matters. Because your digital identity is more than temporary 1s and 0s.

I created Digital S[h]elf because I wanted a safe, permanent home for my digital life. Everywhere I looked, my playlists, watchlists, and collections were scattered across platforms I didn’t control and couldn't share with the people that matter most. I realized my digital identity is fragile and isolated.So I decided to build a solution — simple, private, and lasting.🛠️ Independent project — Built without investors, so user privacy comes first💡 Personal mission — Started from my own frustration with losing physical collections🌍 For everyone — Designed to help anyone protect and share the things that define themI’m not a corporation. I’m just someone who wanted a better way — and I believe Digital S[h]elf can give that same peace of mind to you.
