Access Ecologies
The Operating System for Resilience Hubs
We build encrypted, offline-capable tools for mutual aid networks, disaster preparedness programs, and organizations handling sensitive community data.
What we've built
Community Intake Kit Shipping
Encrypted data collection for coordinators serving vulnerable populations. Data stays on the coordinator's device, encrypted with their passphrase. Works offline. Exports to CSV. No server, no vendor, no exposure.
Resilience Toolkit Live
Community disaster preparedness playbook. Built with Community Resilience Organizations. 17 planning modules, downloadable templates, works offline.
Storm Privacy Live
Data protection for individuals and organizational data practice audits. We find where personal information is exposed and get it taken down.
How we work
- Local-first. Data stays on your device, not our servers.
- Encrypted where it matters. Sensitive records are protected at rest and in transit.
- No vendor lock-in. Tools work offline and export to open formats.
- Yours to keep. If you stop working with us, your data and infrastructure remain yours.
We're building toward a shared infrastructure layer where community organizations can maintain and exchange knowledge without depending on platforms that weren't built for them.
