What's different
Anonymous accounts and payment by mail-in cash, prepaid vouchers, or Monero, plus open-source code for independent auditing.
Best for
US-based users who want their VPN traffic and account to stay off American-soil data requirements without disclosing identity.

Turns your Android phone into a self-hosted MCP server so AI assistants like Claude, Cursor or Perplexity can pull your personal memory without sending data to the cloud. Aimed at developers already using MCP-compatible tools.

Works offlineData stays with youOpen sourceNo subscription
What to know
How it works
Turns an Android phone into a self-hosted MCP (Model Context Protocol) server by installing a Python MCP server inside Termux, with a secure tunnel giving the phone a stable public HTTPS URL that AI clients like Claude, Cursor or Perplexity can connect to for persistent memory.
What's different
Data is stored locally on the user's own phone instead of a vendor's cloud, with no subscription or vendor lock-in.
Pricing
No subscription.
Best for
Developers already using MCP-compatible AI tools who want to own their memory data instead of storing it in the cloud.
Watch out
Relies on a relay tunnel (relay.memplato.com) and requires Termux running on the phone, with a watchdog to restart the server if the phone reboots or Termux closes.

A net worth tracker where you enter balances manually or import a bank export, encrypted in your browser so the server only ever stores unreadable ciphertext. For privacy-conscious individuals who don't want to link live bank accounts.

Open source
What to know
How it works
You enter balances manually or upload a bank Excel export; the portfolio is encrypted in the browser with XChaCha20-Poly1305 and Argon2id before it reaches the server, so the server only ever stores ciphertext.
What's different
No bank connection or aggregator in the trust chain — the server can't read your financial data even in a full database leak. The crypto module is open source under MIT.
Pricing
Free tier covers net worth tracking with unlimited sources, allocation charts, 12-month rolling history and 13 currencies with historically correct FX.
Best for
Privacy-conscious individuals who don't want to link live bank accounts to a net worth tracker.
Watch out
Active server compromise is stated as a documented non-goal of the encryption model, the same caveat the makers say applies to Bitwarden, ProtonMail and Standard Notes.
