About Us
Privacy-First Encryption Tools for a Post-Cloud Web
We build professional encryption tools for people who cannot afford ambiguity.
HexBurn is part of the XEN Suite — a growing ecosystem of privacy-by-design web applications that run entirely inside your browser.
No uploads.
No tracking.
No accounts.
No cloud.
Your messages never leave your device unencrypted.
Not temporarily. Not anonymized. Never.
Why HexBurn Exists
Modern communication tools are built for surveillance, not privacy.
Most "free" messaging and file-sharing platforms monetize by:
- tracking user behavior and message patterns
- profiling communication networks
- storing encrypted data with keys they control
- scanning content for ads, AI training, or legal compliance
For casual use, this may go unnoticed.
For professionals, journalists, legal teams, and privacy-conscious users, it is unacceptable.
Communication is personal.
It reflects who you trust, what you know, and how you work.
HexBurn was created as a direct response to a web where even encrypted messages are stored on someone else's server.
Our Philosophy: Practice as a Protocol (PaaP)
HexBurn follows a strict architectural principle called
Practice as a Protocol (PaaP).
It means:
- Software must work without trust
- Privacy must be provable, not promised
- Compliance must be a property of the architecture, not a checkbox
If a feature requires sending your message data to a server unencrypted,
we don't build it.
How HexBurn Works (Technically)
All HexBurn tools run:
- 100% client-side
- directly in your browser
- using modern web standards and WebCrypto API
This enables:
- AES-256-GCM encryption before any network transmission
- zero-knowledge architecture (we cannot decrypt your data)
- self-destructing messages with burn-after-reading
- offline-capable usage
- GDPR compliance by design
Even we cannot read your messages — because there is no technical path for that to happen.

Who Is Behind HexBurn
HexBurn is created by Roland Kaloczi,
an independent developer and system architect based in Austria.
His work focuses on:
- privacy-first software architecture
- zero-knowledge encryption systems
- local-first and client-side tooling
- post-SaaS web models
- ethical software without surveillance
The goal is not growth at any cost.
The goal is software integrity.
Our Commitment
We do not sell user data.
We do not track behavior.
We do not train AI on user activity.
We do not store unencrypted messages.
We do not ask for trust — we remove the need for it.
HexBurn proves that even the simplest communication tools
can be built honestly.
The Bigger Picture
HexBurn is not just a messaging tool.
It is part of a broader movement toward:
- local-first encryption
- user sovereignty over data
- zero-knowledge web tools
- a post-cloud internet
The future of communication is not more data collection.
It is clearer boundaries.

Encrypted communication. Built for privacy.
Designed for a post-cloud world.
