OBSCURA is now free

Every tool and every feature is unlocked for everyone, with no account and no payment. The tools are, and will stay, free. Paid options later will be for things that live on our servers, like an encrypted vault, never for the tools themselves.

Install it like an app, use it offline

OBSCURA is now a full progressive web app. On a phone or computer you can install it to your home screen, and once loaded it keeps working with the network off, because the tools never needed a server to begin with.

September 2026

Seven new tools

PWNCHECK checks if a password has leaked, POLICYLENS reads the fine print of a privacy policy, DATASCAN finds personal data in a spreadsheet, UNSUB finds the real unsubscribe link in an email, CHECKSUM verifies a download was not tampered with, DOCSCRUB cleans a Word file, and QRSHIELD shows where a QR code really points. That brings the Sovereign Suite to 47 tools.

On the roadmap

Encrypted vault and sync

Optional, end-to-end encrypted storage so your work can sync across your phone and computer. Encrypted on your device before it ever leaves, so we host it but cannot read it. This will be the one paid add-on, and the tools stay free.

In the app stores

Wrapped versions of OBSCURA on Google Play and the App Store, for people who would rather install it there than from the browser.

More tools, and the ones you ask for

The suite keeps growing. If there is a private tool you wish existed, tell us and it may be next.
