kache
Indie infrastructure for
privacy-first web tools.
Everything runs locally in your browser.
Your data never leaves your device.
Philosophy
kache is an independent infrastructure layer for tools that prioritize user privacy by design.
Core Principles
Built on values that put you first.
Local-first by default
Files never leave your device. Processing happens in your browser memory.
Privacy is not optional
No tracking, no cookies, no dark patterns. Just tools.
Fast, lightweight
Browser-native performance using native APIs and WASM.
No accounts required
No sign-ups. No "Get Started" flows. Just use it.
Indie-maintained
Funded by usefulness, not VC money. We don't need to sell your data to keep the lights on.

Manifesto
kache is built and maintained
independently.
→ It grows slowly and intentionally. Focused on usefulness, not metrics.
→ Designed to stay small, fast, and respectful.
