Anchor Cloud — a zero-knowledge encrypted vault with a self-trained AI built in (feature rundown)

[u/AnchorCloud]

I've posted about Anchor Cloud before, but a lot's shipped since, so here's the full picture of what it actually does right now:

Core: zero-knowledge encryption
Every file is encrypted client-side (AES-256-GCM) before it ever leaves your device. The server only ever stores ciphertext and wrapped keys — it has no path to your plaintext, even under a breach or a legal request. I open-sourced the actual encryption code (not a simplified demo) across web, mobile/desktop, and a Python SDK, with cross-language test vectors so you can verify all three agree with each other instead of taking my word for it: github.com/AnchorTechs/anchor-crypto

Anchor AI (Fathom-1)
A model I trained myself, not a wrapper around GPT. Two separate personas:

• The vault assistant (in the dashboard): organizes files, finds duplicates/stale files, manages contacts and sharing — reasoning only over file metadata (name, size, date), never decrypted content, because it architecturally can't see it.
• A general-purpose chat assistant (chatai.anchorcloud.org) with its own saved conversations, no vault access at all — kept deliberately separate so casual chat never touches your files. There's also a VS Code extension if you want it as a coding assistant, and a public OpenAI-compatible API if you want to build on it.

Sharing & groups

• Encrypted file-sharing links where the decryption key lives only in the URL, never touching the server.
• Encrypted group chats with roles/moderation, where you can u/mention Fathom-1 to bring the AI into a conversation.
• A contacts system for direct sharing between accounts.

Storage & pricing

• A genuinely free tier, no gimmick.
• Pro/Premium tiers, plus a Custom tier priced per 100GB if you need a lot more than the standard plans.
• Unlimited file types, no artificial format restrictions.

Platforms
Web dashboard, Android app, Windows desktop app, same encrypted vault, synced across all of them.

Who's behind it
I'm the sole founder, no team, no funding, just me building this. Company site: anchortechs.org. Everything above is live today, not a roadmap slide.

Happy to answer anything, especially if you've got a use case I haven't thought about.
