Your hardware. Your rules. Zero custody.
CustodyZero is a product house for local-first instruments. Every product runs on the operator's hardware, under the operator's control, with no cloud dependency. Documents, agent activity, governance decisions — none of it reaches our servers, because our products are designed so it can't.
The live site is at custodyzero.com.
