We build free, open-source browser applications that are secure by design. No installations, no middlemen, and zero technical expertise required. Enjoy familiar web interfaces that just work out of the box.
We build apps that empower you, not exploit you. Historically, open-source privacy tools demanded complex setups and technical know-how. We changed that. We wrap powerful, secure logic in beautiful, familiar UIs so anyone with a browser can use them instantly without writing a line of code. When our tools need to process data—like sending prompts to LLMs—they do it directly from your browser. There are no middlemen, no proxy servers storing your data, and absolutely no hidden tracking.
We believe the best tools are the ones you truly own — that respect your autonomy and adapt to your needs, not the other way around.
Our apps are transparent in how they work. When data needs to be sent to an external service (like an AI model), it goes straight from your browser to the provider. We never touch, store, or sell your data.
We don't store your inputs or outputs. Data only exists on your device and the necessary processing endpoints.
No analytics, no cookies, no fingerprinting. Just tools.
Every line is public. Verify for yourself or fork it.
Over the last decade, we've collectively contributed to hundreds of open-source projects. We've seen the good, the bad, and the "why does this smart toaster need my email address?"
Our vision is simple: a world where users control their data, not the other way around. We got tired of waiting for big tech to suddenly grow a conscience, so we decided to start building the tools we actually wanted to use. No tracking, no creepy targeted ads based on what you said near your phone... just genuinely useful software that minds its own business.
Leaders, thinkers, and hackers who understood that software freedom is fundamental to a free society.
In real open source, you have the right to control your own destiny. You can decide what features go in, and you can decide how the project evolves.
Free software is a matter of liberty, not price. To understand the concept, you should think of 'free' as in 'free speech,' not as in 'free beer.'
Given enough eyeballs, all bugs are shallow. The open source movement makes the debugging process parallel, harnessing the power of the community.
Open source is a development methodology; free software is a social movement. We stand on the shoulders of giants, building for the common good.
Open-source software shouldn't require a degree in computer science to run. Our apps feature the polished, familiar interfaces you expect from modern web tools. Just open your browser and start using them flawlessly out of the box.
Everything you need to know about our tools, our philosophy, and how we protect your data.
Not at all. We believe privacy-first open-source software should be accessible to everyone. Our apps feature familiar, intuitive web interfaces and require absolutely zero technical expertise to run. If you know how to use a web portal, you know how to use our tools.
We build free, open-source applications that run directly in your browser. Unlike traditional apps, there is no centralized backend handling your data. Everything happens locally, ensuring maximum privacy and speed.
Nowhere but on your device. Specifically, your data lives securely in your browser's local storage. We never store, process, or sell any of your information on external proxy servers or databases.
No. BrowserApps requires absolutely no accounts, no installations, and no downloads. Just open the tool in any modern browser and start using it instantly.
For our tools that rely on AI (such as Large Language Models), you provide your own API key under your terms. Your browser communicates directly with the provider (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic), meaning we never stand in the middle or intercept your requests.
Our apps work with all modern browsers, including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge. Because sometimes browsers restrict local apps from certain features like using microphone or camera - you might need to use our hosted version or host it yourself on any web host.
They are secure by design. Centralized backends are targets for data breaches. By removing the backend component entirely, we eliminate the primary attack vector for data theft. Your data stays with you.
Yes! For any functionality that does not inherently demand an internet connection (like querying an external API), our tools are fully capable of working offline. Once loaded, you can disconnect your Wi-Fi and keep working.
We take on custom development projects and sponsorships from companies and individuals who value our tools and want to support our mission.
Absolutely. Our code is published under the MIT license. This means anyone is free to audit our source code to verify privacy claims, fork the repos to build their own features, or self-host everything. Transparency is core to our philosophy.
