Open source
Open source we trust
We pick open source because anyone can check what it does with your files, and it doesn't disappear when one company changes its mind. It's made by people who share their work with everyone, and we're grateful to them.

One tool here isn't open source. Claude, an AI assistant made by Anthropic, wrote this site's code and helped write its words. We made the decisions and approved what you're reading.
We report the bugs we find, and donate to some of these projects when we can.
Each name on this page belongs to its owner. We use them only to say which software we set up and use, and none of these projects or companies endorses us. “WireGuard” and the “WireGuard” logo are registered trademarks of Jason A. Donenfeld.
