About Enclave
Every time you merge a PDF on a cloud tool, your document gets uploaded to a remote server. Every time you compress an image online, your photo passes through someone else's infrastructure. For most people, this is fine. For a lawyer handling privileged communications, a doctor managing patient records, or anyone who takes data ownership seriously, it is not.
Enclave exists because WebAssembly makes it possible to run complex file processing entirely inside your browser. The same C++ libraries used in desktop applications now compile to WebAssembly and run at near native speed in any modern browser.
This is not a theoretical difference. Open your browser's Network tab while using Enclave. You will see zero file upload requests. Your files exist in your browser's memory, get processed by WebAssembly, and the result is available for download. At no point does any file data leave your device.
Enclave is built and operated by a single developer. It is not backed by venture capital and does not need to grow at all costs. The business model is straightforward: a generous free tier for occasional use, and paid plans for professionals who need unlimited operations and advanced features.
