Technology that keeps your data yours
CakesCats builds ready-to-use devices for private work: a protected phone, a private network, an isolated workspace for Mac and AI that runs on your premises. Everything is built on open source — you can assemble it yourself for free, or get it set up and supported by us.

Why CakesCats
Open by design
We use only open-source components trusted by experts. Every build is documented, so you can check it — or assemble it yourself.
Ready to use
No configuration on your side: we set everything up, test it and hand it over working.
People, not tickets
You talk to the people who built your device — in Telegram or by e-mail.
Non-profit roots
CakesCats started as an educational project. Buying a device funds open, independent digital-safety tools.
