software should serve its user and no one else.
every service you sign up for captures something. your data, your attention, your dependency. a real email, a real name, a real phone number. that information gets sold, breached, and fed into profiles you never agreed to.
they call it “improving your experience.” they mean “building your profile.”
the technology to build private, local software has existed for decades. the incentives point the other way. services want your data because data is the product. privacy is bad for their business model.
zarlcorp builds terminal-first privacy tools. single Go binaries. no accounts, no cloud, no tracking. download a binary, run it, own it. everything stays on your machine.
the toolkit: zburn for disposable identities, zvault for encrypted local storage, zshield for DNS-level tracker blocking, zghost for metadata stripping, zscope for network monitoring. each one is a single binary with a TUI. no browser required.
every tool is open source and MIT licensed. no telemetry, no analytics, no call-home. the code does what it says and nothing else.
read it, verify it, fork it.
