An app store, encrypted chat, and more, all available over WiFi from an off-the-grid Raspberry Pi.
How does it work?
Butter Box broadcasts its own WiFi network. Once you join, you
can install Butter, get apps, join a public chatroom, or make
your own private one to share with friends. Butter Box works
even when there's no Internet. Just stop by the box to
download more apps or check in on your chatrooms. Everything is
stored right on the Butter Box.

Make your own Butter Box
You can make your own Butter Box by installing a pre-made image
on a Raspberry Pi or even an old PC. Just download the image and burn it onto a
MicroSD card or USB drive using the same RPi or Disk Imager you'd use to install
other distros.
Learn How!
Or, customize your Butter Box following the instructions in our
open source repository.
