CAPABILITIES

01 RUNTIME

Single-binary node

No docker containers or complex setup. Just execute sudo ./rednode or click the file to run.

02 FORMAT

.red = app + state

SQLite-contained apps. Portable. Inspectable. Hackable. FAST.

03 REALTIME DATA

Event-driven Bus

Changes propagate instantly—from database to browser—via reactive SQLite, SSE, and Unix Domain Sockets.

04 P2P

Beyond Localhost

Expose apps and services over P2P tunnels and relays. The built-in P2P Browser lets you explore Rednet without leaving Rednode.

05 DEV-FRIENDLY

Robust tooling for developers

Build, deploy, and customize. rednode.sh is a full-featured CLI with built-in version control.

06 COMPOSABLE

Apps as modules

Bundle tools as .red apps to extend your node—add capabilities without bloating core.
