A registry with no company in the middle
Share your software under a name you own.
Type a name to see who owns it and download any version. Or publish your own — no sign-up, no password, nothing to install.

- Every version is signed by its owner
- Published versions can never be altered
- Your key never leaves this page
This page is ready, but it can't reach a network node yet, so lookups and publishing won't work. They'll start working on their own once the network is online. No need to refresh.
How it works
Three ideas, and that's all of it.
-
1
You own a name
A name like
my-tool.fxnbelongs to whoever claimed it first, proven by their key. No company can take it away or hand it to someone else. -
2
You publish versions
Upload a file and give it a number like
1.0.0. Your key signs it, like a wax seal. Once published, that version is locked forever. -
3
Anyone can get it
People look up your name here and download the exact file you signed, straight from the network. There's no central server in between.
Publish
Share a new version.
Four short steps. You'll need to be the name's owner, or someone the owner has added as a co-publisher.

First, who's publishing?
Your key is how the network knows it's you, like a signature that can't be forged. It stays on this page and is forgotten when you close it.
Save your recovery key
This is the only copy. We never store it and can't recover it. If you lose it, you lose the ability to publish under any name it owns.
Use your existing key
Open the key file you saved, or paste the key text. It's a long string of letters and numbers.
You're ready to publish
Your public ID is safe to share. The owner of a name needs it to add you as a co-publisher.
What are you sharing?
Pick the single file people should download, such as a program, an archive or a document.

Questions
Good questions, plain answers.
What is a “name” here?
It's like a web address for your software, such as my-tool.fxn. Unlike a website domain, nobody rents it to you. It belongs to the key that claimed it, for as long as that key exists.
What's a key, and why must I save it?
A key is a secret code only you hold. When you publish, it produces a signature that proves the file came from you, and nobody can fake that signature without your key. There's no “forgot password” because there's no company holding a copy. Keep it like you'd keep a house key.
Is my key sent anywhere?
No. Your key stays inside this browser tab and is forgotten when you close or reload it. Only the signature it produces is sent, and a signature can't be turned back into a key.
Can I change or delete a version after publishing?
No, and that's on purpose. Anyone who downloads my-tool.fxn@1.0.0 today gets the exact same file as someone who downloads it next year. To fix something, publish 1.0.1.
How do I know a download is safe?
Every version shows who signed it. If the signer matches the owner or a co-publisher you trust, the file is exactly what they published. Nobody else could have changed it on the way. Whether the software itself is good is still up to the people who made it.
Why can't I browse or search everything?
There's no central list. The registry only answers questions about names you already know, the same way you'd need someone's phone number to call them. Ask the person who shared it with you for the exact name.
How do I get my own name?
Names are claimed on the mesh network itself, outside this page. Once you own one, or the owner adds your public ID as a co-publisher, you can publish under it here.
