I presume you meant to say "Accurate", but it made me think of a off-brand Picard that says "Actuate" instead of "Engage".

Thanks for the feedback, I agree, I'll look into improving the conveyor download page to redirect to play store or testflight page when it detects mobile user-agent. In general we support windows, linux, mac, android and iOS (in testflight currently)

Interesting, we're building a similar product called memento, we just did a Show HN yesterday that went mostly unnoticed.

We are bootstrapped and are going in a different direction, closed source initially with plans to opensource clients later on.

I can understand that viewpoint, I presume a lot of people share it. You are one of the first people unrelated to our small team to give us feedback, so it's very appreciated!

I'm going to use what you said in addition to macarons in an attempt to persuade our designer to let go of macron in mementō :)

New version, dropped macron, added macaron :) . https://www.ionspin.com/images/illustrations/ImprovedMemento...

Ahh, thanks for clarification, I wasn't aware that it was called macron, and was trying to figure out if the original comment had something to do with politics and Emmanuel Macron.

On the more serious note, we were debating this as we noticed it was preventing Play Store from showing it in search results if you just typed memento.

Unfortunately after removing it from the Android app store name, it doesn't appear in the search results at all.

> drop the macron

Sorry, I don't quite follow what you are referring to.

Hey HN,

we're a small bootstrapped team working on building mementō, a better file browser that let's you manage and find your files wherever they are, in cloud or locally on your devices. We're still in beta so some features are missing or are clunky to use, but we would love to get some feedback.

Security and privacy:

- All access tokens for your remote storages are stored locally on your devices and never uploaded to our servers.

- If any data is shared between devices, it's end-to-end encrypted (we're using kotlin wrapped libsodium[1] for cryptography needs).

- We currently don't collect any analytics from the app, and in the future if we decide to collect it we will be using a privacy respecting tool like plausible.

- You can see the website privacy policy and access the analytics that we collect. [2]

Techincal details:

- We're using kotlin multiplatform for both server and client side.

- We are using passwordless approach where your device generates a keypair and uses that for authentication and authorization.

Here are download links:

Desktop (Linux, Mac, Windows): https://www.ionspin.com/download/conveyor/

Android (Google play store): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ionspin.me...

We also have a iOS build for testing through TestFlight available on this link: https://testflight.apple.com/join/ohRS4Pd4

You can learn more about mementō and the company here http://www.ionspin.com

If you want to share your feedback directly with us you can send it to [email protected], it'll get forwarded directly to all of our inboxes.

I'll also be here for a couple of hours to answer all of your questions.

You are completely right, this is hosted by Bitwarden so in the end you would be better of building from source yourself.

In a perfect scenario you would be able to use a reproducible build [0], for Android you can actually get Bitwarden from F-Droid [1] which uses those reproducible builds.

For Google play store, there was also that developers needed to sign their apps before releasing to stores, so you knew that it came from developer, but Google removed that when they introduced app bundles. There is still a way to verify if the build is the same as developer provided, but automatic protections that were there are now gone [2]

If I recall correctly, CFO of Huawei was arrested in Canada, not Xiaomi.
