Who is behind it
Priviot is independently developed by Tom Schönefeld. That personal responsibility is not hidden. Product status, technical dependencies, and limits are documented publicly so trust does not rely on a founder story alone.
About Priviot
Why Priviot was created.
In 2026, essential productivity software should be free to use—for example, to edit PDFs or write in a word processor. No subscription. No mandatory account. No telemetry as a hidden price. Priviot was created because many applications still make that unnecessarily difficult.
Local. Modular. Yours.
The starting point
Core features are not a premium promise.
Edit a PDF, write a document, manage reusable content, or capture an idea: Priviot builds standalone applications for these tasks that work locally and require neither an account nor telemetry for their core features. Online features can be added deliberately when useful; they should not be a prerequisite for basic use.
Responsibility
Support and continuity
Support uses a traceable ticket system and concrete changelogs. Open components, documented formats, and exportable local data reduce lock-in. An independent project still has a different risk profile from a large vendor—and that belongs in an honest assessment.
Development
New features are implemented and reviewed per product. The roadmap shows direction; something is called available only when the relevant product status and changelog document an actual release.
Technical foundations
Priviot uses its own components, open source, and selected external services. The central security and transparency page explains which functions transfer data, which metadata is required, and where limits remain.
