Introducing Heimdal

Meet Rungard's first compact home server, built to bring applications, storage, and secure remote access together.
Tuesday, March 10, 2026

Heimdal is Rungard's first compact home server. It gives individuals, families, and small teams a straightforward place to run applications, keep important data close, and reach their services securely when they are away.

The compact Heimdal home server

One small server, one connected experience

Heimdal brings the Rungard platform into a dedicated device made for everyday use. Applications, storage, backups, system health, and remote access are managed through one consistent experience without hiding where your services and data actually live.

Designed for the home and small teams

The compact enclosure is intended to sit quietly alongside a router or on a desk. Heimdal balances useful performance with approachable management, making it a practical starting point for self-hosting without requiring a rack or a collection of separate machines.

Local control with secure remote access

Core management remains available through Heimdal's local dashboard, including when the wider internet is unavailable. When remote access is enabled, Rungard uses WireGuard to provide an encrypted path back to the services running on your own device.

A guided start

Setup guides the owner through connecting Heimdal, creating local credentials, selecting a network, and linking the device to a Rungard account. Local ownership, the cloud account, and the physical device remain separate so each has a clear role.

Once setup is complete, applications and device controls are available from the local dashboard, while the cloud workspace gives the owner an overview when away from home.

The beginning of the Rungard product line

Heimdal establishes the foundation for the Rungard product line: purpose-built hardware, a self-hosted application platform, and clear tools for managing it. This development preview shows the experience we are building toward while hardware and launch details continue to be finalized.

Pricing, final specifications, and availability will be shared once they are confirmed. Until then, this article is an introduction to the product direction rather than a release announcement.
