Product strengths

Built the same way. Every time.

Whatever we ship shares the same three principles.

Silent security

Privacy-first architecture

Zero-knowledge workflows and local-first defaults keep every vault and note private by design.

  • Client-held keys across the suite
  • Passkey-first authentication and approvals
  • No needless telemetry

Us vs big companies

Where we choose differently.

A simple comparison of what we protect and what most big tech players don't.

Calm, private defaults.

Our open-source projects

Code we maintain in the open.

Lightweight libraries, reference flows, and automations we share so teams can ship private-by-default software faster.

GitHub repos
01

Community-fueled builds

Each repo ships with contribution guides so your issues, PRs, and ideas keep the tools improving.

02

Protected by PolyForm NC

Every project uses the PolyForm Noncommercial License to stay open, transparent, and respected.

03

Privacy-first references

Lean Rust, Tauri, and TypeScript patterns you can learn from and extend while keeping data yours.

About the company

Milestones, in short.

Built for calm, shipped with intention.
