Hey, I'm Paracci 👋

I build tools that fix annoying things: browser extensions, automation systems, large-scale translation infrastructure, and now cryptographic offline messaging. Most of what I make started as a personal itch I couldn't stop scratching. A lot of it ended up as open source.

What your sponsorship supports

🟢 Shipped & actively maintained

Paracci Secure Messaging
A 100% offline, AI-resistant secure messaging application built for absolute privacy. Messages travel as encrypted .paracci envelope files: no server, no cloud, no network. Features hardware-calibrated Argon2id time-locks, native anti-screenshot protection, single-use burn tracking, and a self-inspecting integrity sentinel that triggers an automatic shutdown if the application is tampered with. Source-available for independent security auditing.

X Auto Ad Blocker
Unlike a regular ad blocker, this Chrome extension permanently blocks the advertiser's account in the background, so you never see that advertiser again, on any device. 100% open source, zero telemetry.

YouTube Shorts Channel Blocker & Downloader
One-click channel blocking, automatic ad muting/skipping, Shorts shelf removal, and a full dual-mode video downloader (browser-side + native yt-dlp companion for 4K/MP3). Open source, built for power users.

Facepunch Wiki Turkish Translation
A triple-layer hybrid AI system (Google Gemini + DeepL + local nllb-200) that keeps 8,000+ pages of Garry's Mod, Rust, and Steamworks documentation up to date in Turkish. Running live and serving the Turkish gaming community every day.

🔵 In active development

AutoStudio (private beta)
A visual Chrome extension for building, editing, and testing web automation flows without writing a single line of code. Record interactions, edit them in a React Flow canvas, and export to Playwright or Selenium. Built with TypeScript strict mode, React 18, and Vitest. Early backers get beta access.

Deep-Angler-Fish (research phase)
A Shodan-style internet scanning and vulnerability analysis engine. Distributed microservices architecture, multi-protocol inspectors (HTTP, SSH, RDP, SCADA/ICS), Nuclei/ZAP integration, CVE matching via NVD, and OCR on captured screenshots. Built for security research and educational use.

Sponsor tiers

Why sponsor?

The open-source tools are free and stay free. Sponsorships fund the time it takes to keep them updated, add new features, and push AutoStudio and Deep-Angler-Fish toward public releases. Paracci Secure Messaging is an especially time-intensive project: cryptographic correctness, multi-platform native behavior, and ongoing security hardening don't happen on their own. Every sponsor directly accelerates all of that.

If you've ever used the ad blocker, the Shorts extension, or the wiki and it saved you time or frustration, this is the way to say thanks and keep it going.
