Practical privacy tools, built with a local-first bias.
Tacita Labs is focused on creating software that helps reduce unnecessary data exposure without creating another account, dashboard, or place your information has to go.
What Tacita Labs is
Tacita Labs is a privacy-focused software effort centered on practical tools for normal people. The public focus right now is URLStrip, a free utility that removes tracking parameters from links before they get opened, saved, or shared.
The goal isn't to build a giant platform. The goal is to make useful software that solves a real problem cleanly without asking for unnecessary trust.
Who is behind it
Jim O'Gorman spent nearly two decades helping build Offensive Security, working across leadership, training, product, operations, and community as the company grew through two exits.
Tacita Labs is the privacy-focused chapter that follows, aimed at practical tools that ordinary people can actually use.
How the work is approached
Local-first where it matters. Plain language where it should be. Zero-trust assumptions whenever possible.
If a privacy tool can work without sending more user data to another service, it should. That is the bias behind the work here.
For URLStrip specifically, Tacita Labs now publishes how tracking is classified so the app's Monetization Impact and Confidence labels are transparent instead of hand-wavy.
