About

We are PalmDB.net - a community of retro tech enthusiasts working to preserve the legacy of pre-smartphone technology.

Companies like Palm laid the foundation for modern communication and mobile operating system design. Yet, there was a time when all trace of their existence was nearly gone from the internet. Thanks to our worldwide community, that is no longer the case, and thousands of apps are available to enjoy once more!

But you don't have to be nostalgic for Palm OS to join us! Many first-timers find Palm offers a refreshingly calm and fun alternative to modern engagement-oriented devices. You can even try one out in your browser!

Whether you have long-lost apps to contribute to our archives, need help bringing old devices back to life, or just want to nerd out with us—welcome!

Play around with a new, old ecosystem of apps, or contribute your own!
No more device support? No problem! We help each other fix it!
We develop apps together! Old school is still cool!
Need a device? We connect retro tech with good homes!
