Keepsafe
Keepsafe is a San Francisco privacy-software company that builds simple consumer apps for locking down personal data on phones. Its flagship Photo Vault - an encrypted locker for private photos and videos - grew to more than 75 million users, and the company has since expanded into a suite that includes App Lock, a private Browser with built-in VPN, and Unlisted burner phone numbers. Founded in 2012 by Zouhair Belkoura and Philipp Berner, Keepsafe's premise is that digital privacy should be as easy as closing a drawer.
Ad Hoc Labs (makers of Burner + Dialed)
Ad Hoc Labs is a Los Angeles-based independent mobile software company that builds communication tools giving people control over how they can be reached. Its flagship app, Burner, launched in 2012 as the original disposable second phone number - a privacy layer that lets users spin up, use, and delete alias numbers on demand. Its second product, Dialed, packages a business phone line, contact management, and marketing tools into one app for solopreneurs and micro-businesses. Founded by Greg Cohn and Will Carter, the company remains independent and remote, focused on utility and reliability over feature volume.
