Sandstorm.io is a sandboxing/app-deployment system that runs on Linux servers, which uses capability-based security and fine-grained permissions. (As a note, it sandboxes individual "grains", which are single-documents/instances, not entire apps.

Of course, Sandstorm is built to present a cloud-like web app interface, not local desktop or mobile apps.

I still think personal servers are the eventual way to go, such that people's mobile devices they carry with them aren't the definitive location of lots of their valuable data.
