How GPTAnon Works — MIT Tiptoe, Zero Logs, Anonymous AI Chat

The Core Privacy Guarantee

GPTAnon routes AI requests without any persistent identifier tied to you. No session tokens, no fingerprinting, no IP logging on the model provider side.

Chat history never touches our servers. It lives in your browser's localStorage. Clear your browser cache and all history is gone, by design.

Our server acts only as an anonymous routing layer. It forwards encrypted model requests and immediately discards them — no write to disk.

MIT Tiptoe Private Search

Tiptoe is a privacy-preserving search protocol developed by researchers at MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL). It uses homomorphic encryption to let you retrieve search results without the server learning your query. The mathematical guarantee: the Tiptoe server processes your encrypted query and returns relevant results, but it is computationally impossible for the server to determine what you searched for.

Anonymous Routing via OpenRouter

GPTAnon uses OpenRouter as a unified API gateway to AI providers. OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google see OpenRouter as the customer — not you. Your identity never reaches the model providers.

Local-Only Chat History

Unlike every major AI chat platform, GPTAnon never writes your conversations to a server-side database. When your session ends, the data lives only in your browser's localStorage — a sandboxed store that only your browser can access.

Technical FAQ

Can GPTAnon staff read my conversations? No. Our server is a stateless routing layer. Messages pass through in memory, are forwarded to OpenRouter, and the connection closes. No database write occurs.

What if law enforcement requests my data? We cannot provide what we don't have. Because conversations are never written to our servers, there is no data to hand over.

Does OpenRouter log my messages? OpenRouter's API is configured in no-training and minimal-logging mode. OpenRouter receives the message text (required for routing), but doesn't link it to you personally.
