Our Mission

Software without compromise

We believe professionals deserve tools that are engineered to the highest standard: software that runs on your infrastructure, encrypts everything at rest, provides complete audit traceability, and carries zero external runtime dependencies. That's the 1337 promise.

Core Values

What drives us

Security First

Every line of our cryptographic code is hand-written and auditable. We never outsource the security of your data to third-party libraries.

Local-First Philosophy

Your data stays on your infrastructure. Our software runs without cloud dependencies. Fully air-gappable for the most sensitive environments.

Built for Professionals

Designed alongside compliance officers, accountants, and legal teams in regulated industries. Every feature solves a real workflow problem.

Zero Dependencies

Our C++17 codebase has no external runtime dependencies. Cryptography, email parsing, and AI heuristics are all native, reducing supply chain risk to zero.
