Why Subversive Software?
The word “subversive” might sound aggressive or destructive, but our mission is anything but. We’re subversive in the most hopeful sense: we’re working to undermine systems that exploit people and replace them with tools that empower individuals.
The Problem
Modern software often treats users as products. Our data is harvested, our attention is monetized, and our privacy is treated as negotiable. We’re tracked across websites, our behaviors are analyzed, and our information is sold to the highest bidder.
Our Approach
We’re building software that flips this model on its head:
- Privacy first: We help you see who’s tracking you and how to stop them
- User ownership: Your data, your identity, your control
- Direct connections: People connecting with people, no corporate intermediaries
- Transparency: Open about what we do and how we do it
- Empowerment: Tools that give you agency in the digital world
What We’re Building
Our projects range from privacy visualization tools to budget transparency platforms. Some help you create digital noise to confuse trackers. Others help you build strong, self-owned online identities. All of them share a common goal: putting control back in your hands.
