Elusive
Encrypted email, the first piece of an open privacy stack

Closed source today, honest about it. Source opens at 300 users, audit at 1,000.

Hi Product Hunt. I built Elusive because I was tired of privacy email that oversells, so it is built to say the quiet parts out loud. Your message bodies are sealed to a key only you hold. But I will not pretend the metadata or incoming mail is invisible to us, so the front page shows you exactly what is what. The bigger plan is a full open-source privacy architecture: email first, then a communicator and file sharing on the same keys. It is closed source right now, and I know that is the first question here. The commitment is specific and public: the source opens at 300 users, with an independent audit at 1,000. I would rather earn trust in the open than ask for it up front. It is free, I make no money from it, and I am happy to answer anything, including the hard ones.
