Software that works for the people using it.

A lot of the software people use every day makes its money by watching them. We think that's a bad deal, so we build tools that keep conversations private and leave data with the people it belongs to.

01 · Privacy

Private by default

If something is meant to be private, it gets encrypted on your device before it goes anywhere. We'd rather be unable to read your data than ask you to trust that we won't.

02 · Pace

Move quickly

We use whatever new tools and models get an idea working soonest. Being small means we can try things, learn fast, and change course without waiting on anyone.

03 · Care

Stick around

The people who wrote the code are the same people who keep it running, fix it when it breaks, and answer the emails about it.

Where we're headed

What we're working toward, in plain terms.

#1 · Conversation

Talk without being watched

Messaging, group chats, and moving files between your own devices should be private by default. That should come from how the software is built, so it doesn't depend on anyone's good intentions.

#2 · Ownership

Own your corner of the internet

Communities should be able to run their own spaces and set their own rules. Your identity and your connections should belong to you, so leaving a service doesn't mean starting over.

#3 · What comes next

Powerful tools, on your side

Software gets more capable every year, and AI is speeding that up. We want that power to end up with individuals and small communities instead of piling up inside a few platforms.

FAQs

What is Gnosys Labs?

An independent software lab. We're a small team building privacy-focused tools for communicating and sharing online, and we keep running them after they launch.

Is your software open source?

Some of it. A lot of our code is public at github.com/GnosysLabs, and some of it is closed source. If you have questions about a particular project, email us.

Do you run ads or sell data?

No. We don't run ads, we don't use third-party trackers, and we don't sell data about the people who use our software.

What does "Architects of the Singularity" mean?

Technology is getting more powerful very quickly. We think the people building it have a responsibility to make sure it ends up serving ordinary people, and we want to be some of the ones doing that work.
