Ever wonder what it takes to build a native macOS security app from scratch? 🛠️
We just published a deep dive into the creation of PhantomSecure over on the engineering blog! From relying on legacy tools like TrueCrypt in the Middle East to engineering a modern, privacy-first suite using Post-Quantum Encryption (PQX) and Apple's native Content Filter... it’s been quite the journey.
We’re keeping things 100% on-device and prioritizing your privacy because we believe Mac users deserve better than data-hungry corporate software.
