Urbit is a decentralized personal server platform based on functional programming in a peer-to-peer network. The Urbit platform was created by alt-right political blogger Curtis Yarvin. The first code release was in 2010. The Urbit network was launched in 2013. The first user version (called OS1) was launched in April 2020.

In 2022, the main software in an Urbit installation was a "bare-bones" text-based message board.
