For the last decade, the tech industry has been obsessed with "The Cloud." We have been trained to treat our powerful, multi-core laptops and smartphones as nothing more than dumb terminals—screens that merely display data while a server hundreds of miles away does the actual work.
We built 0mod to challenge that default.
The "Free Tool" Trap
We have all been there. You need to convert a batch of HEIC photos, merge two PDFs, or format a JSON file. You Google it. You find a "free" tool. You upload your file.
In that moment, you have lost control.
- Privacy is Gone: You just handed your data to a black box. Are they training AI on it? Storing it? Who knows.
- Bandwidth is Wasted: Why upload 500MB of data just to change a file format?
- Reliability is Fragile: If your internet cuts out—or if you are working from a remote location with spotty service—the tool breaks.
The Philosophy of Self-Reliance
At its core, 0mod is about digital self-reliance. Just as we believe in owning your hardware, we believe you should own your processing.
Modern browsers are incredibly powerful operating systems. With technologies like WebAssembly (WASM), we don't need a server to crop an image or convert a document. Your device is more than capable of doing it instantly.
The 0mod Promise
When you use tools like our HEIC Converter or PDF Merge, we adhere to three rules:
1. Zero Uploads (Privacy)
Your files never leave your device. There is no "backend" to hack. There is no database to leak. The processing happens in your browser's memory, and vanishes when you close the tab.
2. Zero Latency (Speed)
We remove the biggest bottleneck: the network. Processing happens at the speed of your CPU, not your upload speed.
3. Zero Connection Required (Resilience)
Our tools are Progressive Web Apps (PWAs). Once you load the site, it caches locally. You can go into airplane mode, drive into the mountains, or sit in a concrete bunker, and 0mod will still work.
The Future is Local
The cloud has its place, but it shouldn't be the default for everything. We are building a suite of utilities that respect your privacy, your time, and your hardware.
Welcome to the offline-first web.
