Every privacy app asks you to trust them. We ask you not to. (github.com)

We build free, open-source privacy tools — encrypted chat, anonymous mail, untraceable voice, a whistleblower drop, a browser, a network layer. All given away.

But "free and open source" means nothing if you can't check it. So:

  • Source is public — read every line: github.com/Anon-Gratis
  • Hashes are signed — verify the binary matches what we published
  • Build it yourself — don't want our binary? Compile it from source

We don't want your trust. We want you to not need it. The only privacy tool that survives "trust me bro" is the one you can read.

Privacy is about activity.
Anonymity is about identity.
Security is about ensuring the other two.

I would say: Privacy is everyone seeing you come and go from a house with no windows.
Anonymity is when you're covered head to toe when you come and go. So nobody know who lives there.
Security is a measure of how good your locks and coveralls are.

Real world examples: Going to a protest with a mask is anonymous, in public.
Sessions with your court appointed therapist are private, not anonymous.
