urAlgo: Take Your Preferences With You

You carry your identity with you across the internet—logins, email, passwords. But what about your algorithm?

urAlgo is a movement to make your algorithm portable, encrypted, and owned by you—not the platforms.

No more training new LLMs. No more training new apps what to show in your feed.

The Problem

Every new platform or AI feels like starting over. Cold-start friction. No continuity. Your preferences, writing style, and decisions live in big tech’s walled garden.

The Insight

People don’t want more personalization—they want portable personalization.

A user-owned data layer, carried across the internet.

Your algorithm, untethered.

The Solution

An encrypted, portable .me.json file and open API:

  • Stores your language, tone, scroll habits, and UX preferences

  • Fully opt-in and open-source

  • Built for seamless integration across platforms

Import it into your next app, AI, or model—no retraining required.


The Battle

Big Tech already knows personalization is powerful—Meta, for example, personalizes across Facebook, Instagram, and Threads using your behaviour. But that data is locked inside their walled gardens.

They own the algorithm. Not you.

Platforms like Meta, Google, and others do let you download your data—because regulations like GDPR and CCPA require them to. But:

🔒 They don’t make it plug-and-play across apps.
🧩 They give you raw data dumps—not structured, transferable preferences.
⚠️ They never give you the algorithm—only the breadcrumbs it was trained on.

The truth is, these exports exist to satisfy compliance—not to empower users.

That’s the opportunity.

urAlgo proposes to:

  • Take that raw, messy export

  • Translate it into a portable, standardized, encrypted .me.json

  • Let users use it—import it, sync it, share it

This is what Big Tech won't do voluntarily: give people back meaningful control.

The uphill battle isn’t just technical—it’s systemic.
It’s about building the connective layer that turns regulatory access into user agency.

urAlgo flips the system:

  • Built in the open

  • Owned by the user

  • Designed to move with you—not trap you

This isn’t just a product. It’s a protocol for digital freedom.

The Vision

From social feeds to personal agents to generative tools—this layer frees you to move, adapt, and control your digital experience.

But it doesn’t stop with you.

Imagine syncing your algorithm with a friend, a partner, or a collaborator.
Shared playlists, aligned reading lists, mutual discovery—without a platform mediating the connection.

Personalization becomes social. On your terms.

The personalization layer shouldn't be platform-locked. It should be yours.

urAlgo. You, untethered.
