Private · Offline · Yours

Software that is private by default, secure by design.

Cryptiqo builds privacy-first software that is secure by default, offline by design, and inspired by zero-knowledge principles — giving you ownership and control over your data.

  • No tracking or profiling
  • Works fully offline
  • Keys never leave your device

Our mission

Putting people back in control of their data

Privacy and security should be the starting point of software, not an upgrade. Cryptiqo designs tools that keep your information on your device, under your control, and out of reach of advertising networks and unnecessary intermediaries.

0 Trackers, analytics & ad SDKs
100% On-device processing for core features
You Hold the only keys to your data
Core philosophy

Four principles behind every Cryptiqo product

These are not marketing labels. They are the design constraints we build against.

Security First

Security is a foundational design principle, not a feature bolted on later.

  • Secure by default — strong encryption from the first launch.
  • Least privilege — the app asks only for what it genuinely needs.
  • Reduced attack surface and deliberate dependency minimization.
  • A transparent, security-conscious engineering mindset.

Privacy First

Privacy is treated as a fundamental right, not a setting you have to discover.

  • Minimal data collection — we hold what you would never miss.
  • No tracking, no profiling, no advertising networks.
  • You own your information; it stays under your control.
  • Transparency about exactly what happens to your data.

Offline by Design

Offline capability is a deliberate architectural decision, not a fallback.

  • Applications stay useful without an internet connection.
  • You keep access to your data, on your terms.
  • Reduced dependency on cloud services improves resilience.
  • Local-first processing improves privacy and user control.

Zero-Knowledge Approach

Systems are designed to minimize knowledge of your content wherever possible.

  • Your data belongs to you — keys never leave your device.
  • Local processing is preferred whenever it is feasible.
  • Trust assumptions are minimized by design.
  • Unnecessary access to personal information is avoided.

Note: “zero-knowledge” here means our products are designed so the provider cannot read your content — it does not refer to formal cryptographic zero-knowledge proofs.

Why Cryptiqo

Trust earned through engineering, not promises

Local-first by default

Capture, recognition, search and encryption run on your device — not on someone else’s server.

No surveillance business model

No analytics, no advertising SDKs, no telemetry. There is nothing to sell because we never receive your data.

Documented, not hand-waved

A published architecture, security design and threat model you can read and assess for yourself.

Engineered to last

Clean architecture, minimal dependencies and a security-conscious build — secure foundations over flashy shortcuts.

Offline by design

Useful with or without a connection

Offline capability is a deliberate architectural decision. In CardVault, every core feature — capture, text recognition, barcode decoding, search and encryption — runs locally on your device.

  • Your data stays available even with no internet access.
  • Reduced dependency on cloud services improves resilience.
  • The only network activity is an optional, user-initiated encrypted backup.
Zero-knowledge approach

Designed to know as little as possible

CardVault is built so the developer and provider can never read your data. Encryption keys are derived from a passphrase that never leaves your device and is never stored in plaintext — and there is no server component that could hold your content.

  • Your data belongs to you, by construction.
  • Local processing is preferred wherever feasible.
  • Trust assumptions are minimized throughout.
Questions

Frequently asked

What does “zero-knowledge” mean for Cryptiqo?

In CardVault it means the application provider and developer are never able to read your data. Keys are derived from a passphrase that never leaves your device and is never stored in plaintext, and there is no server component that could hold your content.

Do Cryptiqo products work without an internet connection?

Yes. CardVault is offline by design: capture, OCR, barcode decoding, search and encryption all run on your device. The only time it uses the network is an optional, user-initiated encrypted backup.

Does Cryptiqo track me or show ads?

No. CardVault contains no analytics, advertising, telemetry or tracking SDKs. This website follows the same principles — no Google Analytics, no Meta Pixel, no fingerprinting and no behavioural analytics.

Is CardVault available now?

CardVault is Cryptiqo’s first product and is at foundation stage. The architecture, security design and documentation are in place; some flows described as intended behaviour are being progressively completed. See the repository roadmap for current status.

Software that respects you by default.
