Your homelab, managed from the browser. Free for 30 machines.

A homelab grows one box at a time: a hypervisor, a NAS, a few VMs, a Pi in the cupboard, the family PCs. Keeping them all patched and reachable usually means a pile of separate tools. Optanik's Personal account puts them in one browser tab, and it's free for up to 30 endpoints, with no time limit and no credit card.

What you get, free, on up to 30 machines

• Remote control from anywhere. Open the desktop of any Windows, Linux or macOS machine from the browser, or drop into PowerShell or SSH, without opening ports on your router.
• Patch management. See which machines are missing updates and install them on a schedule you choose, instead of logging into each one.
• Optanik Network and LAN Sharing. Put your machines on a private overlay network so they can reach each other from wherever they are, and let a machine publish folders and printers to the PCs on its local network.
• File management. Copy files to and from any machine from the browser.
• Group Objects and the Security view. Organize machines into groups and see their security state in one place.
• REST API, MCP and webhooks. Script your lab, wire it into your own tools, or let an AI assistant check on it.
• Keyring. A private password vault for your logins, SSH keys, BitLocker recovery keys and 2FA codes.

There is no daily time limit. Remote sessions run as long as you need them.

What it costs

So a 45-machine lab costs 15 × $1 = $15 a month. Optanik Support and OptaMeet are not included on Personal, but you can add them any time from Billing.

What stays on Business

Personal is built for your own machines, so a few business tools are left out: Group Policies, Device Configuration (printers and mapped drives), Optanik Domain, DNS and Domain Users, Software deployment, Automation, Reports, branding and client workspaces. If you need them later, convert to Business in Settings. Nothing is deleted when you switch either way.

Personal means personal

The Personal plan is for your own and your household's computers. It can't be used to manage customers' devices, an employer's devices, or to run an MSP or IT services business. For that, use a Business account.

Getting started

1. Create a Personal account. Pick Personal and accept the personal-use terms.
2. Install the agent on each machine with one command.
3. Open any machine from the Endpoints page.
