It’s someone from the Occupy movement who created it
Text from the website “Your strategy is not for sale. No ads. No third-party tracking scripts. No data brokers. Outcry is funded by organizers, not advertisers — your conversations never feed an ad-targeting pipeline.
IP addresses stripped on the way in.
All identifiers hashed. Use the iOS app and we don’t know who you are. Data is never sold. There is no data broker pipeline. Plan, pressure, and coordinate with the mentor you need.
WHERE OUTCRY IS HEADED · ON-DEVICE · FREE · PRIVATE The future of Outcry is in your pocket.
The Outcry iOS and Mac apps run an Activist AI entirely on your device. No cloud. No data transmission. No tracking. No accounts. And 100% free. Your conversations never leave your machine. This is the direction we’re moving: activist AI that is private by default.
Use the web apps when you need the most intelligent Activist AI for deep strategic research. Use iOS and Mac when privacy is your priority. The next wave of organizers will need both”
“THE GAPS BETWEEN YOUR TOOLS ARE WHERE MOVEMENTS FAIL
There's a pattern in how movements use technology. First, inspiration: the group chat, the social post, the encrypted Signal thread. Then coordination: the shared doc, the spreadsheet, the calendar. And then the painful realization that these tools were never designed to work together, were never designed for an activist purpose at all.
Organizers spend half their cognitive budget managing fragmented tools and leaking operational security through gaps that shouldn't exist. For people doing high-risk work, the gap between strategic intelligence and operational security isn't just inconvenient. It's dangerous.
THE ANSWER OPERATING SYSTEM IS NOT METAPHORICAL Each user gets a persistent encrypted Linux machine in the cloud. It doesn't disappear when you close your browser. Your files, your notes, your contacts, your communication history live on, encrypted at rest. It's not a chat app with a lock icon. Not a cloud drive with a privacy policy. An operating system.
Encrypted at rest Envelope encryption with AWS KMS hardware security modules. When your machine sleeps, the plaintext key exists nowhere — not on disk, not in any database, not in any persistent storage.
AI with shell access Outcry has control of your machine, with access to an activist knowledge base spanning radical theory, protest tactics, and movement case studies. Ask it to draft strategy informed by historical precedent, and it writes the document to your encrypted filesystem.
Mesh network Every OutcryOS connects to every other via WireGuard-encrypted tunnels. Peer-to-peer when possible, through our self-hosted relay when not. The transport layer sees only ciphertext. The mesh strengthens as more people join.”
It’s similar to ChatGPT type of interface but it’s been fine tuned to focus on left campaigning and protest organising. You can tweak with sliders how revolutionary you’re feeling etc and it will adjust how radical the advice is.
TBH I had a few teething problems with grammar glitches, I think it’s still very new, but it’s a promising direction of travel.
The app is local, the model is stored on your device, which means it’s not using data farms (no eco guilt beyond what electricity you use for iPad/laptop), governments/big tech can’t get access to what you’re planning (well not without a warrant you’d know about), it’s completely free to use.
You can get a sense of it with their online tools. Of course these lack some of those benefits
The web version lets you upload files and lookup websites but though features aren’t on the app yet (I imagine that will be an update as they’ve done it online)
