About Us

Our Story

Smartphones put the power to document abuse in anyone's hands. Anywhere. Anytime.

In 2015, we were the first to make secure mobile archiving widely available via our flagship app Save that equally prioritizes privacy, usability, and preservation.

As an independent, community-powered nonprofit that is open by design, we answer to the frontline human rights communities we build with and for, not corporations or governments.
