Zen Privacy

The modern web is broken. Bloated pages, intrusive ads, and silent tracking have turned everyday browsing into a privacy nightmare. Advertising isn't just annoying – it's the engine behind addictive algorithms, digital surveillance, and the erosion of online spaces. Zen exists to push back. We believe digital privacy is a fundamental right, not a luxury. The tools to defend it should be open-source, free, and effortless to use. That’s why we're building Zen: a system-wide content blocker that puts you back in control – quietly, powerfully, and without compromise. We're a small, independent team operating with no outside investment – just your support. Right now, we're focused on making the desktop version of Zen as robust and seamless as possible. But our vision doesn’t stop there: we want to bring effective, open-source, privacy-first blocking to every platform, including mobile, and make it available to anyone who needs it. Every Zen installation is a small step toward a freer, safer, more humane internet. Your support lets us stay independent, improve Zen, and share it freely with everyone who needs it. P.S. Financial support isn't the only way to help. Contributing code, translations, documentation, or simply sharing Zen with others goes a long way too. Here's how to get involved →
