Hey everyone, OBSCURA OS goes live here tomorrow at 12:01 AM PDT. Quick rundown: it's a browser based workspace, docs, sheets, slides, notes, calendar, plus a set of dedicated privacy tools like PDF redaction and leak detection. No account, nothing syncs to a cloud, everything stays local in your browser. Free tier, small paid tier for the extra privacy tools.
The thinking behind it: with the big office suites you either pay with your data or pay with your money, and either way your files sit on someone else's server. That's a real problem for journalists, activists, or anyone whose safety depends on their documents staying private, not just an inconvenience.
A full office suite and hundreds of file tools that run entirely in your browser tab. Docs, sheets, slides and notes, plus tools to redact a PDF, strip location and metadata from photos and videos, compress, convert, merge and split files. No account and nothing uploaded, because there is no server to upload to. Free for everyone, at home and at work, with an optional one-time chip-in if you want to support it.
