Giulio and I are looking for a job. We have been working at Clipperz for almost 3 years, investing our own money, time and energy. We cannot afford it any longer.

Interview with Thorsten Zoerner about a neat deployment of the Clipperz Community Edition for the eyeOS platform. Clipperz Community Edition allows you to host on your own server a web service identical to Clipperz online password manager. It’s open source and released under an AGPL license.

This is a post about freedom. The freedom to keep your data for yourself and the freedom to run free software. You should be able to reclaim and enjoy these freedoms also when using web applications.

In the past 12 months Clipperz password manager has received slightly more than 2,000 Euro (about 3,100 USD). I just want to say thanks to all our donors!

We are happy to announce Clipperz Community Edition! Now you can host Clipperz password manager on your own server.
