In 2020 we launched the very first version of Elsi, a modest terminal-based voice assistant created as a privacy-first alternative to mainstream options like Alexa; our core principle was to keep every voice command and transcription strictly local, never sending recordings to the cloud. Starting with a simple command-line interface that could recognize a handful of triggers, we quickly realized the potential was huge. This insight drove a rapid evolution: we rewrote the engine for better performance, and built a polished graphical user interface. Today, Elsi has grown into a robust, standalone Windows application that lets users manage music, alarms, automation tasks, while preserving the secure-processing philosophy that sparked the project back in 2020.
We, then, turned our attention to digital password management, after the high-profile data breaches affecting milions of people. Our simple idea was: why store everyone's credentials in the cloud when each person can keep them safely on their own device? We will just provide strong encryption, so users' data remains offline and protected on their machine. Seems like a simple solution? But it works.
At Sealzi, we believe that privacy is a fundamental human right. We try to create software that challenges the status quo of data collection, empowers you to work and live online without compromising your security, and puts you in control of your data. Every product we build is designed with privacy at its core, ensuring that your information stays yours. Our products are built to work for you, not against you. We don't track you, we don't sell your data, and we don't compromise on security.
