Axiom
Local desktop sandbox engine against Client-Side Scanning
Axiom Shield (v1.0.1) is a free, open-source desktop workspace engine built as an active defense against Client-Side Scanning and EU Chat Control. Instead of remote servers, Axiom enforces hyper-isolated memory partitions locally on your PC. It encapsulates apps like Discord, ChatGPT, and Meta webgrids, completely partitioning local telemetry loops to blind host OS scanning daemons while maintaining 100% functionality.
Hello Product Hunt! 👋 I am gabriel, a 17-year-old independent developer from napoli, Italy. I built Axiom Shield because I refuse to accept state-mandated Client-Side Scanning turning our PCs into local informants. Tech giants buy compliance; independent builders deliver real architecture defenses. Axiom (v1.0.1) forces isolated local memory sandboxes to blind OS telemetry loops. Completely free and open-source on GitHub for review!
ran it with discord and a chatgpt tab, both still worked fine and no weird spikes in background processes. nice to see something tackling chat control without turning my pc into a paperweight.
Runs lighter than I expected for something this locked down, Discord and the browser windows still feel snappy inside the partitions. Really glad someone is building this as a free tool rather than another paid security suite.
ran it for a bit with discord in the partition and honestly the speed hit was basically nothing, which kind of surprised me. love that it does everything locally
Ran Discord and ChatGPT through it for a day and honestly forgot it was even there, which is exactly what you want from something like this. Glad it's open source too, makes me trust the partitioning claims a lot more.
Running this on macOS would be huge, since most of the apps you're targeting have fully native versions there and a lot of privacy-focused users live in that ecosystem. Packaging a signed .dmg with a notarized build plus a clear Gatekeeper allowlist walkthrough in the README would lower the friction a lot. Would love to see a beta branch for it soon.
