Your favorite apps owned by you, with unlimited access anywhere.
Create Free Account→What is Digital Freedom?
Privacy and ownership have been taken from us in exchange for simplicity. AI owns your online identity while DNA companies are auctioning off your genetics to the highest bidder. To make it worse, everyone is getting hacked.
MATA has termed Digital Freedom as "the complete ownership and control over the most important aspects of your digital life." We spend more than 70% of our waking time in front of a screen. Taking ownership of our personal data is the single most important thing we can do.
Today, all of these aspects of our lives are provided to us in online services. Accessible, simple, and often free. But the truth is that every single one of these services can be taken away from us, in an instant.
If your password manager goes offline, how do you access any accounts? If your phone is lost and you didn't back up contacts or messages, do you lose all of the people you've ever met? What about saved videos on Instagram disappearing??
Digital Freedom is the personal ownership and accessibility of your information.
Building Trust One Step At A Time
MATA believes that Trust, Security, and Incentive are at the core of Digital Freedom. Owning your personal data is not valuable if service providers do not trust you or know if your data is real. It doesn't make sense to own your own data if it does not have the same bank-grade security you demand. And lastly, what is the incentive to maintain all of this data? Why do this at all?
To solve all of these core questions, we are making Digital Ownership fun, creating a benchmark for progress that is meaningful.

Foundation of Trust
Wallet & identity, passwords, and contacts — encrypted on your devices, no external servers required.
We believe trust is built by consistently and relentlessly being true to our mission of Digital Freedom. By creating an experience that goes beyond expectations in every aspect, our community will build faith in our team and what we can build together.
Our team has thoughtfully designed MATA with privacy, security, and personal ownership in mind. From choosing military-grade encryption to memory-safe high-speed programming languages, MATA was built to run entirely on your devices. No external servers required; you're not giving your information to anyone. By putting our community first with state-of-the-art technology, we are able to protect your most important digital assets while keeping you connected at all times.
Wallet & Identity
"View all of your bank accounts from 1 portal, without giving away your banking data."
Banking is becoming an online activity, and personal identity is now just images of our photo IDs verified by facial recognition. When do we stop and say, I should own my bank data and I should own my digital identity. I don't want to give everything up to AI or corporations.
MATA has integrated a bank account feature that allows you to view all of your finances from your computer. You no longer need to give some random person access to all of your bank records just to view your balance. MATA ensures that all of your bank data is stored only on your computer and always accessible when you want to see it. That is true power. Whether its 2 accounts or 20, you view them when you want, and only you have access to that information.
MATA has created our Digital ID (DID) technology to allow users to create and own their online identity. Imagine automatically logging into websites or apps because you authenticated your device in the morning? Seamlessly access your favorite tools and apps anywhere you want, on your terms. That is the freedom of Digital ID.
Passwords
"Whoever controls their passwords controls their access to the future."
What if you lived in a world where all you had to do was remember 1 funny phrase that was your password? And every website would instantly be accessible when you wanted it to be? That is the power of MATA password management. It's passwordless access to everything you own by authenticating your devices.
Offline, online, mobile, or desktop, you have access and ownership of all of your accounts. Encrypted and stored locally on your devices, enabling you to never worry about losing them or having them taken away from you. Soon to be hardware protected from hackers and theft.
Contacts
"MATA Contacts are stored and backed up on your devices. They are accessible anywhere you are in the world. You are in the driver's seat of your destiny."
Everyone has a list of contacts, but do you know where they are? Do you know if you even own it? Many of us have our contacts in our phone, your iPhone or Android, or worst case, they're isolated in random apps like WhatsApp, Signal, or one of the many other messaging apps. At face value, these seem like great places to put your contacts.
What if you lose your device and cannot get access to your contacts anymore? Do you lose all of the relationships you ever made? What happens if those services go offline or cancel your subscription?
What it actually buys you
Data ownership is about responsibility and accountability
"Privacy-first" sounds philosophical until you see what it actually rearranges in your life. Here's what shifts the day you stop renting your digital life from people who profit by selling it.
No central company to breach
Data is only valuable to hackers when its consolidated, breaching one persons computer takes way to much effort for little economic reward.
Your habits stop driving up your bills
DNA tests, fitness apps, and credit trackers quietly sell what they learn about you to insurers and lenders — and you pay more for it. When that data stays with you, they have nothing to charge you extra for.
Your relationships outlive any platform
Companies get bought, sold, or go out of business. Free software lives forever. Never worry about if you will lose data because of a change you cannot control.
Clean digital succession
When you pass, your spouse and kids inherit accounts, photos, and history the way they inherit a safe-deposit box. Today most digital lives are locked behind dead-person password walls and corporate red tape.
Stop subscribing to your own data
No more annual fees to maintain access to information you generated yourself — photos, notes, finances, contacts. It stays accessible whether or not you're paying anyone.
Switch services without losing your life
Tired of a vendor? Leave with your full history in a format any other tool can read. Lock-in stops being a thing — vendors compete on the product, not on how stuck you are.
How it works under the hood
The technology behind the Foundation of Trust
Trust isn't a posture, it's technology. Every primitive underneath MATA was picked for three things at once — future-proof, tamper-resistant, and fast enough you forget it's there. Here's what's actually running under every Foundation feature.
Encryption
Military-grade encryption
Your data is sealed with AES-256-GCM — the same algorithm the U.S. government protects classified material with. GCM doesn't just scramble it; it also detects any tampering, so a single flipped byte fails the unlock instead of silently passing through.
Identity & signing
Signatures only your device can produce
We use elliptic-curve cryptography (Ed25519 for signatures, X25519 for key exchange) — the same family securing modern messaging and passkeys. Smaller, faster, and considered the durable standard for the next decade-plus.
Password protection
Brute-force-resistant password unlocking
Your master password is run through Argon2id — the algorithm that won the open competition to replace older hashes. It's deliberately memory-hungry, which makes the GPU farms attackers use to crack stolen vaults economically pointless.
Code language
Built to prevent the bugs that cause breaches
MATA is written in Dioxus Rust, a language designed to make whole categories of memory-safety bugs impossible. The flaws behind most major hacks (buffer overflows, use-after-free) simply cannot exist in this codebase.
Key safety
Keys locked in your device's security chip
On every device that has one (Apple Secure Enclave, Android StrongBox, Windows TPM), your private keys live inside a tamper-resistant chip. Even malware with full control of your operating system cannot extract them.
Device sync
Only your devices can read your data
When data moves between your phone and laptop, it's sealed on the sending device and unlocked only on the receiving one — keys negotiated peer-to-peer over Iroh. We never hold the key, so even if our infrastructure was stolen, it would be unreadable scramble.
Take it anywhere
Your data, always exportable
Everything is stored in open, documented formats any other tool can read. No proprietary lock-in. You can walk away with all of it on any day, in a format any future app will accept.
How it's designed
Even MATA can't read your data
We have no master key. Even if a court ordered it, MATA the company literally cannot decrypt your data — we never possessed the means. The system is zero-knowledge by construction; we couldn't betray you even if we wanted to.
IAMHUMAN & Your Peers
All your devices talking to each other — offline, in sync, peer-to-peer.
We are going to make all your devices talk to each other without sacrificing security. Even while offline.
It's harder than you imagine. Continuously syncing multiple devices without a central server requires alien technology. That's what we're building — a network of your phones, laptops, and home computers that pairs flawlessly, works offline, and stays in sync without anyone in the middle.
Era 2: Your Peers is the first of many peer-to-peer features, or as we like to call them, friend-2-friend.
Direct Devices via Iroh
"Your phone and laptop talk to each other directly — no MATA server in the middle, no cloud relay, no listening third party."
Most 'sync' you've used works by uploading your data to a company's server and downloading it on your other device. That model is fast, but it means your data passes through someone else's hands every single time. With MATA, your devices form a private mesh that talks peer-to-peer using Iroh — an open-source networking layer built specifically for this.
When two of your devices are nearby, they connect over your local network and exchange updates directly. When they're across the world, Iroh routes through encrypted tunnels with no one but the endpoints holding the decryption keys. We never see your data; we don't even know which of your devices is talking to which.
The result: device sync that works offline, scales to dozens of devices, and has no single point of failure to subpoena, hack, or unplug.
Passwords Across Devices
"Owning your data means accepting one new responsibility — keeping your devices in shape is like watering a plant."
Centralized password managers solve sync trivially: there's one canonical copy on a company server, and every device asks for it. With peer-to-peer, there is no central truth — each device holds its own copy of your vault and gossips changes to its peers as they appear.
Most of the time this is invisible. You change a password on your laptop, and your phone has it within seconds. But if a device has been offline for weeks while you've been actively changing passwords elsewhere, it has to catch up when it comes back online. MATA handles the merge automatically, but there are real edge cases worth knowing about.
Pay attention to two things: keep at least two devices online and updated regularly, and check the device list in MATA periodically to retire phones or laptops you no longer use. A stale device that comes back to life months later carries an outdated map of your vault — easy to resolve, but easier still to prevent.
Friends Backup & Succession
"Break your master key into puzzle pieces. Hand them to people you trust. Three out of four can rebuild what one cannot."
Self-custody has one historic weakness: lose your keys and nothing recovers them — not us, not law enforcement, not a forgot-password link. Friends fixes this without ever giving anyone access to your account.
When you enable Friends, MATA cryptographically splits your master key into four pieces using Shamir's Secret Sharing. Each trusted friend or family member holds one piece. A single piece reveals nothing; two pieces reveal nothing. Three out of four pieces, working together, rebuild the key.
Use it for two real-world things. First, recovery — if every device you own is lost, stolen, or destroyed in the same event, your friends can put you back together. Second, succession — your spouse and kids inherit your digital life the way they'd inherit a safe-deposit box, without anyone holding the keys before they're needed.
IAMHUMAN — Digital Signature
"Sign what you publish and prove a human did it — not a bot, not a model, not a scraper running someone else's playbook."
The internet is being flooded with AI-generated text, images, and accounts. Within a few years, the default assumption for any online comment, profile, or message will be 'this is probably synthetic.' That breaks every trust signal we've built over thirty years.
IAMHUMAN is a cryptographic signature built into the MATA browser extension. Sign a tweet, a blog post, a comment, a marketplace listing, a job application — and anyone can verify the signature came from a real human key issued to a real human, without learning who that human is.
This is the first implementation of sovereign online identity. You're not 'verified' by a platform that can ban you tomorrow. You're verified by the math, with a key only you control. The platforms come and go; your signature stays yours.
Please reach out through the communities tab with recommendations to make these tools more robust and useful — Era 2 is where MATA stops being software you install and starts being a network you live in.
Home Computer
Bring your files home. Access them anywhere.
A home computer? Might as well have a landline, right?… We've come full circle.
The Home Computer will service the community of over 15 million people with network attached storage (NAS) technology at their homes. Many of these Home Computers are clunky, requiring highly technical people to use, and do not always work well when you're not at home.
MATA is going to interface with all of the major NAS providers, and create our own Home Computer architecture to enable large file storage at home, while providing all of the same accessibility you have come to love with modern web apps.
Our goal is to enable local file management that is accessible anywhere, at anytime; this includes important documents, and your favorite movies, pictures, and music. All available at the tip of your fingers whether you're offline or online. By storing files locally at home, you never have a loading screen or worry about losing access.
Cable guy knock out your internet? No problem.
Your Home Companion
Stop your smart home from phoning home to big tech
Your Smart Home is spying on you. Sharing your videos with big tech, selling your data to brokers, and probably even getting hacked.
Let's rewind. Smart homes are really cool. From front door cameras and thermostats to baby monitors and smart fridges, technology has become a key part of every home through modern Internet of Things (IoT) devices.
Hiding behind all of the excitement that comes with these smart technologies, many people overlook the underlying flaws and security issues. If you knew that a stranger could watch your baby camera feed, would you still use it? What if your new doorbell opened your WiFi for hackers to access your bank information? Public websites let strangers watch video streams from inside your home or listen to audio from misconfigured smart devices. This is not science fiction; it is a reality today.
Smart homes have a massive problem. They send your data to the cloud, which is accessed freely.
In the Home Companion Era, we are keeping your data at home. Your video, your audio, and your private files. None of it can be viewed by tech companies or sent to the cloud without your permission.
Our team will be building an integration that allows our smart home community to connect their existing IoT devices directly to their Home Computer. By enabling devices to talk directly to your home computer, we can seamlessly block their access to unknown external IPs while maintaining complete functionality.
The goal is to give you peace of mind that the random technology you bought online isn't phoning home, selling your information. This will enable you to enjoy your privacy and feel safe with the smart devices in your home.
The Shop
