Overview
The privacy first cloud free apps initiative brings together open source tools and thoughtful design to reduce data collection while preserving powerful user experiences. This project empowers developers and communities to build and use cloud services that respect privacy by default, without compromising usability. Donations directly support ongoing development, rigorous auditing, and inclusive governance that helps ensure the project remains independent, accessible, and sustainable for people around the world. By contributing, you join a mission to put users in control of their data and to foster transparent, verifiable software that anyone can inspect and improve.
Our focus is practical and principled: we aim to lower barriers to privacy centric tooling, support contributor growth, and share knowledge so that privacy safeguards become a standard part of cloud-native applications. The work spans software engineering, security reviews, documentation, and community outreach — all grounded in open-source collaboration and a shared commitment to responsible technology.
Why Your Support Matters
Support from the community makes it possible to sustain development that aligns with privacy and accessibility goals. Contributions help keep the project independent of traditional sponsorships, enabling more democratic decision-making and longer-term planning. They also accelerate progress by funding essential activities that can take years to complete without steady volunteer bandwidth.
With your generosity, the impact is tangible across several areas that directly benefit both developers and everyday users. This is not about quick fixes; it is about building a resilient foundation for privacy centric cloud tools that endure and grow with a diverse ecosystem.
- Strengthening privacy by design in cloud applications
- Expanding accessible, auditable open-source tooling
- Supporting sustainable maintenance and thoughtful governance
- Ensuring multilingual documentation and inclusive onboarding
How Donations Are Used
Contributions are allocated with transparency to maximize long-term benefit. We publish clear summaries of how funds are used and invite community input on priorities. The aim is steady, measurable advancement rather than rapid, unsustainable growth.
- Core development of privacy first cloud services, focusing on security and privacy by default
- Independent security reviews, audits, and code quality improvements
- Hosting, infrastructure reliability, and performance optimization
- Comprehensive documentation, tutorials, and translations to broaden access
- Community events, mentorship, and governance processes to sustain participation

Transparency and Trust
We prioritize openness as a cornerstone of the work. Public artifacts, open-source repositories, and accessible governance records allow anyone to review decisions, track progress, and understand how donations are used. Regular updates summarize milestones, outcomes, and the evolving roadmap so that contributors and curious readers can see the difference in real terms. This approach supports accountability, invites constructive feedback, and helps build a global community around privacy-preserving software.
All funding paths are documented and traceable, and we welcome questions about budgeting, milestones, and impact. By design, the project maintains clear boundaries between funding sources and product decisions, ensuring that the focus remains on user privacy, sustainability, and broad accessibility.
