PrivateByte

Software that stays yours.

Minimal, unobtrusive, ad-free, private software owned by the user. Apps run locally, avoid unnecessary accounts, use no website cookies, and paid apps use one-time pricing instead of subscriptions.

Philosophy

Local first. Private by design. Owned by you.

PrivateByte apps run on your devices. When sync is useful, it should use iCloud or storage you control, not a developer account or rented service.

Own the tool

Paid apps use one-time pricing. No subscriptions, no recurring charge just to keep using a simple utility.

Run locally

Core features run on your device. Files and app data should stay local unless you choose where they go.

No ads or cookies

No ad profiles, tracking SDKs, website cookies, or advertising surfaces.

Apps

Built around local ownership.

Each app has its own support, privacy notes, requirements, and release information. The shared PrivateByte promise stays the same: no subscriptions, no cookies, no ads, no unnecessary accounts, and no developer cloud required for core features.
