v0.1 · open beta

Backups that forget you
the moment you stop paying.

Restic-encrypted archives, routed over Tor, settled in Monero. Your client certificate is your account — no email, no name, no recoverable identity.

Open-source clients· Audited encryption (Restic)· No tracking on this page

Designed so trust isn’t the security boundary.

Client-side encryption

Restic encrypts every byte on your machine before it leaves. We hold ciphertext only — the keys never touch our infrastructure.

~

Tor-only transport

The client and server speak through hidden services. Your IP, our IP, both irrelevant.

Monero billing

Subaddress per client. No card on file, no billing address — nothing about your wallet ties to anything we hold.

mTLS identity

Your client certificate is your account. Lose it and we cannot help you. Keep it and nobody can.

Ciphertext-only storage

Where we put the bytes doesn’t matter — we couldn’t read them anyway. Our infrastructure is a sealed envelope, nothing more.

Zero PII

No name, no email, no phone, no IP, no fingerprint. We log the first 8 chars of your cert hash.

Three steps. No accounts.

  1. 01

    Install & init

    Run the installer. The client generates an X.509 certificate locally. That file is now your sole credential.

  2. 02

    Fund a balance

    The client prints a Monero subaddress. Send XMR. The credit drops in once the chain confirms.

  3. 03

    Back up & forget

    privatearchive backup ~. Schedule it. Your data is encrypted, then on its way through Tor before you finish reading this paragraph.

Pay only for the bytes you keep.

Balance burns down by the second. No subscription. No minimum. No card.

Download the client.
