Business software · bought once · runs on your server
Own It 3.1 is here — every tool now writes to the people it serves: client emails through your own SMTP, calendar feeds, attachments, export presets your accountant's software imports — each one off until you switch it on. What changed →
Your business is one machine.
Own the parts.
Complete tools — invoices, rotas, repairs, consent, document AI — each a finished part, each paid once, all running on the one server you own. And an AI that drives them without a single connection leaving the box.
- Live demo on every tool
- Instant download + licence key
- One-time price — the key never expires
- PHP 8 · MySQL/MariaDB or SQLite

The flagship · Own Your AI
Own the software.
Now run the AI yourself.
Now run the AI yourself.
A complete local-AI workbench you run on a model you choose — files, mail, calendar, web research, code, PDFs — with every outside connection counted live and a signed report to prove it. You connect it to every tool in this store through their /mcp endpoints. Buy once, source included, a frozen core with no update race.
- Runs on your machine — llama.cpp, Ollama, LM Studio, vLLM; or an endpoint you choose, labelled honestly.
- The ledger — how many connections left, to which hosts, live; airplane mode blocks all; Prove it signs the report.
- Works with everything here — an API key from any Ownware app’s API-settings page, and OYA reads it in plain words.
The showcase replays real runs recorded on a desktop — there is no model on the public box. OYA runs on yours.

Your data never leaves. No cloud lock-in.
Installs as a mobile app. Straight from the browser — no app store (PWA).

01The idea
Rent forever, or own it once.
Most business software charges you every month, forever, and keeps your data on their servers. Ownware tools are the opposite: a single purchase, hosted wherever you want, fully yours.
Renting SaaS
- $40–100+ every month, forever
- Your data lives on their cloud — and can train their AI
- Prices rise; features get paywalled
- Access is permission — it can be re-priced or revoked at renewal
- Locked in — leaving means losing everything
Owning Ownware
- Pay once, use forever
- Runs on your own server, your data
- No surprise price hikes, no paywalls
- Yours to brand, modify, and keep
02Why self-hosted
Software that answers to you.
You keep the data
Everything runs on your own server. No third party can read it, lose it, or lock you out of it.
No forever-bill
One purchase. The tool keeps working whether or not anyone's charging you a subscription.
Yours to extend
A clean, standard stack (plain PHP + MySQL, Docker-ready) you can actually maintain. Brand it, tweak it, deploy it however you like.
03How it works
From checkout to running in minutes.
01
Buy once
Every purchase delivers an instant download and a license key — one payment, no renewal date, no seat counting.
02
Install in minutes
Upload to any PHP host — shared hosting included — or a Docker box, and a short web installer walks you through the rest.
03
It’s yours
Your server, your database, your rules. Full source included — brand it, modify it, and run it as long as you like.
04The tools
Complete apps, not starter kits.
Each one is a finished product a real business can run today — not a template you have to assemble. Sold once, downloaded instantly: every purchase comes with a license key and a secure download link.
05Suites
Buy the whole workflow.
Each suite bundles the tools one business actually runs together, at one price — grouped, never entangled: every app still runs standalone.
The flagship bundle · the anti-ERP, and the AI that runs it
Ownware OS + Own Your AI — the whole shelf and the AI software you run beside it, one payment.
Every app in the catalog, the SaaS Kit console, and OYA — local-AI software on your own model that you connect to every one of them.

07Questions
Answered straight.
Is it really a one-time price?
Yes. Each product is a single purchase that delivers the complete app, a license key, and a download link. There is no subscription, and nothing switches off if you never pay again.
What do I need to run these?
Any PHP 8 host with MySQL or SQLite — ordinary shared hosting works — or a Docker box. Each app ships with a short web installer.
Do I get the source code?
Yes — every purchase is the full, unobfuscated source. The license lets you modify and brand it for your own installation; it doesn’t allow reselling the code itself.
Where does my data live?
In your own database on your own server. The AI-assisted tools talk only to the model provider you configure with your own API key — nothing is routed through us.
Does it work on phones?
Yes — every product is a Progressive Web App: open your own instance in the phone’s browser, choose “Add to Home Screen” (iOS) or “Install app” (Android), and it runs full-screen with its own icon, served entirely from your server. No app store involved, and business data is never cached on the device.
Can I see a product before buying?
Yes — every product has a full live demo that opens already signed in on sample data, no signup and no password. Click “Try demo” on any card above. The product page also shows real screenshots, pricing, and an honest list of limitations.
Can you host it for me?
Yes — Ownware Cloud runs selected apps for you from $12/month: your own private instance, nightly backups, one-click full export plus the source code any time, and after 12 paid months the perpetual self-host license is yours regardless. How it works — the honest version.
