Axiom Shield (v1.0.1) is a free, open-source desktop workspace engine built as an active defense against Client-Side Scanning and EU Chat Control. Instead of remote servers, Axiom enforces hyper-isolated memory partitions locally on your PC. It encapsulates apps like Discord, ChatGPT, and Meta webgrids, completely partitioning local telemetry loops to blind host OS scanning daemons while maintaining 100% functionality.

Hello Product Hunt! 👋 I am gabriel, a 17-year-old independent developer from napoli, Italy. I built Axiom Shield because I refuse to accept state-mandated Client-Side Scanning turning our PCs into local informants. Tech giants buy compliance; independent builders deliver real architecture defenses. Axiom (v1.0.1) forces isolated local memory sandboxes to blind OS telemetry loops. Completely free and open-source on GitHub for review!

Running this on macOS would be huge, since most of the apps you're targeting have fully native versions there and a lot of privacy-focused users live in that ecosystem. Packaging a signed .dmg with a notarized build plus a clear Gatekeeper allowlist walkthrough in the README would lower the friction a lot. Would love to see a beta branch for it soon.

@nazbozoklu Thanks for the solid feedback, Naz! macOS integration is definitely on our roadmap for v1.2.0. Compiling for Mac and dealing with Apple’s strict notarization/Gatekeeper compliance loops is a heavy task for a standalone binary, but we are absolutely aiming to drop a signed .dmg build on GitHub soon. Stay tuned to the repository!

Runs lighter than I expected for something this locked down, Discord and the browser windows still feel snappy inside the partitions. Really glad someone is building this as a free tool rather than another paid security suite.

@zeliha229593239 Appreciate the feedback, Zeliha! We just pushed our v1.1.0 production layout specifically to target RAM optimization and introduce a native session purge hook. Privacy shouldn't be locked behind a corporate paywall—keeping Axiom completely free and high-performance is the mission.

Ran Discord and ChatGPT through it for a day and honestly forgot it was even there, which is exactly what you want from something like this. Glad it's open source too, makes me trust the partitioning claims a lot more.

@engl637419 Appreciate it, Şengül! Glad to hear the background integration is seamless for your Discord and ChatGPT sessions. Transparency is exactly why we kept the entire memory architecture public on GitHub. Minimal friction and absolute client-side isolation is the core goal of Axiom!

ran it for a bit with discord in the partition and honestly the speed hit was basically nothing, which kind of surprised me. love that it does everything locally

@nehir240588 Thanks, Nehir! Eliminating performance friction inside the isolated partitions was one of our primary milestones. By enforcing localized architecture, we ensure zero remote server latency and maximum data control. Glad you like the speed!

🚨 FINAL PRODUCTION ARRAY UPDATE: Axiom Shield v1.2.0 is fully deployed!
While institutions compromise on compliance, Axiom implements immediate client-side structural immunity. We have officially stabilized the network environment across both desktop and mobile platforms:
1-Second Desktop Execution: Windows version is now a unified One-Click installer, entirely eliminating complex tracking/setup steps.
Native Mobile PWA Integration: Launch an unshared, standalone security sandbox natively on iOS Safari or Android Chrome with an integrated 1.5s startup splash transition.
Immutable Chapter 21 Blueprint: The complete 21-chapter Decentralized Anonymous DNS & Ledger-Bound Resolution architecture is officially complete and open-source on GitHub.
We are here to establish long-term digital sovereignty, not a commercial prototype. Run the benchmarks, audit the codebase, and leave your hardest engineering feedback below. Your support drives the network's longevity! ⚔️🧪
ran it with discord and a chatgpt tab, both still worked fine and no weird spikes in background processes. nice to see something tackling chat control without turning my pc into a paperweight.

@habibe0sxh Thanks, Habibe! Preventing resource spikes and keeping the system fully optimized while enforcing strict local isolation was exactly the goal of our v1.1.0/v1.2.0 updates. Glad Axiom is running smooth and keeping your machine fully functional!
