Own the tool
Paid apps use one-time pricing where possible. No recurring charge just to keep using a simple utility.
PrivateByte
Software that stays yours.
Minimal, unobtrusive, ad-free, private software owned by the user. Apps run locally, avoid unnecessary accounts, and use one-time pricing where practical.
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.
Run locally
Core features run on your device. Files and app data should stay local unless you choose where they go.
No ads
No ad profiles, tracking SDKs, or advertising surfaces inside the app.
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 ads, no unnecessary accounts, and no developer cloud required for core features.
