Where Your Money Goes

Every contribution is a direct investment in the core infrastructure required to guarantee user privacy and build a world-class platform. We are committed to full transparency with our founding supporters.

Private Server ($12,000)

The largest investment is in our own enterprise-grade hardware. This allows us to self-host all data, ensuring it never touches third-party clouds and guaranteeing data sovereignty.

AI & Dev Hardware ($9,000)

A powerful workstation for AI model training and a dedicated MacBook for secure iOS & macOS app development are crucial for building a high-performance, cross-platform experience.

APIs & Licenses ($5,000)

This covers the first year of essential costs, including AI API usage during beta testing and the necessary software licenses to build and deploy the applications.
