baizaar@audit:~$ status: 93 posts deep and still suspicious

Paranoid by design.
Productive anyway.

BAIZAAR tests VPNs, encrypted cloud storage, private email, and the few productivity apps that survive an ADHD brain. One question decides it.

02 / VPN & Network Privacy

Proton VPN

Swiss, independently audited, and Stealth, its obfuscation protocol, runs on the free plan rather than being held back for subscribers. Smaller server count than the loudest names in the category. Has not once mattered in daily use.

03 / ADHD Productivity

Todoist

Not the cleverest task manager on the market. It is the one still working at 11pm when your brain has clocked off, which turns out to be the more useful quality.

04 / Private Email
