Former NSA contractor and notorious whistleblower Edward Snowden just launched a new app that turns smartphones into security systems.
Former NSA contractor-turned-leaker Edward Snowden is working on a smartphone app.
The app, named “Haven,” is intended to turn smartphones into mobile security systems.
Haven is currently available to try for free in open beta.
Edward Snowden is best known for revealing the spy programs of the American government’s National Security Agency, but his next project is intended to make citizens feel more secure.
It’s an app, called “Haven,” that’s intended to turn Android phones into all-in-one anti-spy systems.
“Imagine if you had a guard dog you could take with you to any hotel room and leave it in your room when you’re not there. And it’s actually smart, and it witnesses everything that happens and creates a record of it,” Snowden told Wired in a recent interview.
