Use cases

An archive. A container. Yours.

đŸ—„ī¸ The archive

Folders and photos in one file, kept for decades. Checksums tell you when something rotted.

đŸ“Ļ The portable app container

Ship the data and the app that reads it: disks with their emulator.

🔒 The private one

No cloud, no account, no tracking. Nothing is uploaded, ever.

Support ele

Gear for your files.

Affiliate links: they support ele at no cost to you.

For developers

Build apps that travel with the data.

An app is a folder with an index.html. No SDK, no build step: the ele file is its backend.

const res = await fetch("/file/", {
  method: "QUERY",
  body: '{"mime": "image/*"}',
});
