We build software that respects its users.
MPLS is a software company that puts privacy, transparency, and user control first — because technology should serve people, not exploit them.
Our Approach
Privacy is not a feature. It's the foundation.
Every product we build starts from the same principle: your data belongs to you. We don't sell it, we don't mine it, and we don't build business models around exploiting it.
Privacy by Default
End-to-end encryption, zero tracking, and no third-party data sharing. Built into every product from day one.
User Sovereignty
You own your data, your content, and your identity. Delete your account and everything goes with you.
Built to Perform
Engineered with Go, Flutter, and modern infrastructure for speed and reliability at scale.
