Urbit is a decentralized personal server platform[3] based on functional programming[4] in a peer-to-peer network.[5] The Urbit platform was created by neoreactionary political blogger Curtis Yarvin.[4] The first code release was in 2010.[6] The Urbit network was launched in 2013.[2] The first user version (called OS1) was launched in April 2020.

As of 2022, the main software in an Urbit installation is a "bare-bones" text-based message board.[7]
