Hi, I'm Craig.

Why I Built This
I'm a philosophy professor who writes about financial privacy. For years, it has bothered me that portfolio trackers tracked users as much as markets. Privacy vulnerabilities have concrete and sometimes devastating effects. The assets we track, how much of them we hold, our IP addresses---they all tell stories about us. And they can be leaked, stolen, and exploited. I created Darkfolio so that people could track markets more privately.
The Philosophy
Portfolio trackers generally want your data. They want to know who you are, what you own, how much you have, when you check---because that data is valuable. Analytics companies, advertisers, and data brokers will pay handsomely for it. Criminals want it, too. (Unfortunately, so-called wrench attacks have become more common.)
Darkfolio was built on a different premise: what if we gave users near complete control over their data? K-anonymous price fetching means the server delivers the same data to everyone. Tor hides your location and identity. Everything is encrypted on your device, and ghost mode gives users a self-consistent system of plausible deniability, both on the screen and under the hood. We have nothing to sell, nothing to leak, and nothing to hand over.
Privacy isn't a feature. It's the architecture.
Darkfolio is a Vibes Capital Management portfolio company.
