Getting Started
Getting Started
Your starting point for the ZeroTrace hardware and software line, what each device does, how to set it up, and how to drive it from your phone or desktop.
Getting Started
Welcome to ZeroTrace. This is the place to begin, whether you have just unboxed your first device or you are deciding which one is right for you.
ZeroTrace is a line of privacy-first security tools, hardware you can hold and software you run locally, all hand-assembled and hand-tested in Germany. Every device is bought once and updated for life. There are no subscriptions, no accounts, and no cloud: your captures and your data stay on your own hardware.
If you are new, start with the two pages below. Then jump to your device.
