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.

Oh no, another AI slop project.
We’re really getting drowned in AI stuff aren’t we 😒
Um… vas? Maybe I don’t get it, but you’re just forking and tweaking already open source software? How does this change the model of anything?
All these JVM-based packages just appeared out of nowhere three weeks ago and have no almost no git commit history. Your fediverse accounts are weeks to hours old. 🤔
Telltale sign of LLM usage.
Good point. The first repo, anon-vpn, has single commit made 3 weeks ago.
Security sensitive software require time, review or audit. Let’s give this time. It may take from a few months to 2 years until there’s enough scrutiny to either confirm it’s safe, or reveal problems.
Until them, keep using well-known open-source software.
Hacktivists on GitHub. Show me your forgejo
Haha, perfect!
Dude, right, I’m not great at code, but I won’t/don’t trust MsHub
We already have all this stuff, stop larping as a 1337 h4x0r and go fix some bugs in your preferred xmpp client or one of those Firefox forks
So many people conflate privacy with anonymity.
They’re largely unrelated.I think this would be a relatively straightforward explanation. Correct me if I’m wrong.
Privacy - whether your door’s keys are given to someone.
Anonymity - whether or not someone can see what’s behind your door.
Security - whether or not your door is locked and has alarms.
Good & Bad practice examples
Good privacy: people can only enter and leave your door with your consent.
Good anonymity: people don’t know what’s behind your door.
Good security: people can’t break in easily, and if they do, you know.
Bad privacy: adversaries can enter and leave your door without your consent.
Bad anonymity: adversaries know what’s behind your door.
Bad security: adversaries can break in easily, and if they do, you don’t know.
Anonymity - whether or not someone can see what’s behind your door.
that’s also privacy. anonimity is whether the neighbors know who lives in your house
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.Privacy is related to activity
Anonymity is related to identity
Security is related to access
Love the message, but personally I won’t use software written by LLMs.
Where are you taking this info from?
yep, instant skip
Human vetted. So long as it’s good sound code. I see no issues. Needs to be human expert vetted.
Or it could be written by a human to begin with and not have endless subtle bugs that take greater expertise to find and fix than just writing by hand.
So, is this like what proton shoulda been? Not exactly ik, but is this like a suite?
