About
Building a Privacy-First Ecosystem for All Your Devices
Hi, I'm the creator of PlainApp. I started this project with a conviction: our personal data belongs to us, not big tech. For 3 years, PlainApp has provided a secure, ad-free, and tracker-free way to manage Android devices via the web.
The response has been incredible—over 1 million downloads and a vibrant community. But managing your phone is just the beginning. I want to build a future where your data flows seamlessly between all your screens without ever leaving your control.
Our Vision: The Plain Ecosystem
To reach the next level, I am expanding PlainApp from a single tool into a complete ecosystem. Your support will accelerate:
- PlainApp for iOS/MacOS: Bringing our privacy-first engine to the Apple ecosystem. This requires overcoming the 'Apple Barrier' (annual developer fees and dedicated testing hardware).
- PlainNAS (Linux): A lightweight, open-source NAS solution based on the PlainApp philosophy. Turn any Linux machine or Raspberry Pi into your personal, secure cloud.
- Enhanced Cross-Platform Features: Real-time sync, improved file management, and end-to-end encrypted communication between all 'Plain' nodes.
Why Support Us?
Your support directly funds:
Your support directly funds:
- iOS/MacOS Version: Apple Developer fees ($99/year) and testing hardware.
- PlainNAS: Turning any Linux machine into a private, open-source cloud.
- Vibe Coding (AI Development): Funding the AI model fees (Cursor/OpenAI) required to accelerate our coding and feature delivery.
- Independence: Keeping the project 100% open-source, with no ads or tracking.
Let’s build a world where privacy isn’t a premium feature—it’s the default.
