Privacy.sexy is an open-source privacy tool that helps users implement security and privacy best practices on Windows, macOS, and Linux operating systems[^4].

Key features include:

  • Hundreds of customizable privacy and security scripts
  • Free and transparent codebase
  • Reversible changes if issues occur
  • Web version requiring no software installation
  • Desktop version with additional direct script execution capabilities
  • Independent, portable scripts without cross-dependencies
  • Extensive testing and community verification[^4]

The tool comes in two versions:

  1. An online web version that runs without installing software
  2. An offline desktop version with expanded functionality for running scripts directly[^4]

The project is built using TypeScript and Vue.js, with the desktop application created using Electron[^8]. All aspects of the application, including infrastructure and deployments, are open-source and automated through a system called "bump-everywhere"[^4].
