your privacy is our first priority

Everyone's watching.
We're blind by design.

Uwitz is an independent organisation protecting the privacy and security of the public. We build open-source tools, publish research that holds surveillance to account, and teach people to defend themselves — so a private life isn't a privilege you have to pay for.

Read the research Support the work
Source availability
100%

Every tool ships with the source you can audit.

Telemetry
Zero

No tracking, no analytics, no backdoors — ever.

Encryption
End-to-end

Post-quantum, forward-secret, and verifiable.

Funding
Donation-based

Infrastructure, code, operations, and growth — entirely community funded.

What we do

Three ways we push privacy forward

Free, open, and auditable — for the people most exposed to surveillance and least able to pay for protection.

Open-source tools

Encrypted messaging, VPN, and key-management software you can audit line by line. No telemetry, no backdoors.

Security research

Independent audits and disclosures on the infrastructure billions of people rely on every day.

Education

Workshops and events that teach practical operational security to journalists, activists, and small teams — run by Uwitz Juniors.

The organisation

One organisation, two divisions

Two teams carry the mission further than the core can reach on its own — one teaching it, one funding it.

Uwitz Juniors

Uwitz Juniors

education.uwitz.org

Our education division. Juniors teaches practical operational security to students, young developers, and the community groups around them — the people who inherit this infrastructure and get almost no say in how it's built.

  • →Workshops, curriculum, and hands-on labs
  • →Free to attend, materials published openly
  • →Mentoring into real security research

Uwitz Corporate

Uwitz Corporate

uwitz.co

The division that pays for the rest. Corporate does security work for organisations that have a budget for it — audits, penetration tests, threat modelling, opsec training — so the tools, the research, and Juniors stay free for everyone who doesn't.

  • →Security audits and penetration testing
  • →Threat modelling and architecture review
  • →Operational security training for teams

keep it free, keep it independent

Privacy tools stay free because people keep them funded.

Donations go straight to development, audits, and Juniors workshops — with Uwitz Corporate covering the rest — and keep the infrastructure independent and running.
