Purism’s Librem One suite of apps offers ad-free, privacy-focused chat, email, social media (for a fee)
Purism sells a line of laptops that ship with GNU/Linux software and which support privacy features including physical kill switches for the cameras, microphones, and wireless cards. The social purpose corporation is also developing the Librem 5 smartphone, which should ship with a Linux-based operating system later this year.
Now Purism is moving beyond hardware and launching a set of apps and services that it says respect your privacy.
The Librem One suite of apps includes a Chat app, a Mail app, a VPN, and a social networking app. They don’t include ads of any sort. They offer end-to-end encryption. And Purism says it doesn’t track user data.
But since Purism isn’t making any money off your data, they’re asking you to pony up — Librem One is a subscription service.
