Why We Built This

privacy should be effortless

🚫 Privacy is inconvenient

Privacy tools shouldn't require technical expertise or complex setup. They should just work, seamlessly and automatically.

🏢 Data is siloed

Your data is trapped in corporate platforms. It should be yours to control, share, and use however you choose.

⛓️ Users aren't free

People are locked into systems that exploit their data. True freedom means owning and controlling your digital life.

See It In Action
