Cyberpunk Is Now Our Reality

Yeah, I totally agree — we’re living in a cyberpunk reality, but without the cool aesthetics from the movies. Just constant surveillance, tracking, and so-called “free” tools that harvest everything. That’s exactly why I built a 100% offline 2FA authenticator — no cloud, no hidden SDKs. I don’t want us to resign ourselves to dystopia; I want to show that there’s a better way. I want to protect people, not sell them out.

Honestly, I believe it’s crucial for independent developers to step up with real alternatives. Otherwise, we’ll end up living only among shadows and leaked data.
