People, Apps and Code You Can Trust
Founded in 2009, Guardian Project is a global collective of designers, trainers, researchers, and developers building open software to enhance privacy and security for all. Our mission is to push the boundaries of mobile and privacy-enhancing technologies. Through this, we work to give people a voice, enhance safety, ensure authenticity, and provide access to knowledge regardless of location or connectivity.

Apps We Endorse
To achieve our goal of a comprehensive, privacy- and security-focused communications solution, Guardian is driven both by internal development and the open-source community at large. In cases where a viable, vetted, and usable product already fills the communications needs of our target audience, we will recommend apps that work.
