|
||||
## Introduction
|
||||
|
||||
To know more about Ente, see [overview](/overview/) or visit our website
|
||||
[ente.io](https://ente.io).
|
||||
Ente (pronounced en-_tay_) is a end-to-end encrypted platform for privately, reliably, and securely storing your data on the cloud, over which 2 applications have been developed and made available for mobile, web and desktop, namely:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Ente Photos** - An alternative to Google Photos and Apple Photos
|
||||
- **Ente Auth** - A free 2FA alternative to Authy
|
||||
|
||||
## History
|
||||
|
||||
Ente was the founded by Vishnu Mohandas (he's also Ente's CEO) in response to privacy concerns with major tech companies. The underlying motivation was the understanding that big tech had no incentive to fix their act, but with end-to-end encrypted cross platform apps, there was a way for people to take back control over their own data without sacrificing on features.
|
||||
|
||||
### Origin of the name
|
||||
|
||||
In Malayalam, Vishnu's native language, "ente" means "mine", thus "Ente Photos" literally means "my photos".
|
||||
|
||||
But one day, he discovered that "ente" means "duck" in German. This unexpected connection sealed the deal after looking for alternative names and led to the adoption of ["Ducky"](https://ente.io/blog/ducky/), representing the playfulness and friendly nature of the community and team.
|
||||
|
||||
## Getting Started
|
||||
|
||||
We recommend reading the documentation for [Ente Photos](/photos/) or [Ente Auth](/auth/) to get started with installation on the desired platform, explore available features and usage.
|
||||
|
||||
If you are looking to self-host Ente, we recommend you to read the [official documentation](/self-hosting) for updated information on getting started, installation, administration and maintenance.
|
||||
|
||||
## Contributing
|
||||
|
||||

# About
|
||||
|
||||
Ente (pronounced en-_tay_. Like ca<i>fe</i>) is a end-to-end encrypted platform
|
||||
for privately, reliably, and securely storing your data on the cloud. On top of
|
||||
this platform, Ente offers two products:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Ente Photos** - An alternative to Google Photos and Apple Photos
|
||||
|
||||
- **Ente Auth** - A free 2FA alternative to Authy
|
||||
|
||||
Both these apps are available for all desktop (Linux, Mac, Windows) and mobile
|
||||
(Android and iOS) platforms. They also work directly in your web browser without
|
||||
you needing to install anything.
|
||||
|
||||
More products are in the pipeline.
|
||||
|
||||
## History
|
||||
|
||||
Ente was the founded by Vishnu Mohandas (he's also Ente's CEO) in response to
|
||||
privacy concerns with major tech companies. The underlying motivation was the
|
||||
understanding that big tech had no incentive to fix their act, but with
|
||||
end-to-end encrypted cross platform apps, there was a way for people to take
|
||||
back control over their own data without sacrificing on features.
|
||||
|
||||
### What does Ente mean?
|
||||
|
||||
In Malayalam, Vishnu's native language, "ente" means "mine". Thus "Ente Photos"
|
||||
has the literal meaning "my photos".
|
||||
|
||||
This was a good name, but still Vishnu looked around for better ones. But one
|
||||
day, he discovered that "ente" means "duck" in German. This unexpected
|
||||
connection sealed the deal. We should ask him why he likes ducks so much, but
|
||||
apparently he does, so this dual meaning ("mine" / "duck") led him to finalize
|
||||
the name, and also led to the adoption of "Ducky", Ente's mascot:
|
||||
|
||||
<div align="center">
|
||||
|
||||
{width=200px}
|
||||
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
|
||||
