Who runs bareminimum
bareminimum is built and run by visoftlabs. It is a gateway, not a chat app: you keep using Claude Desktop or Claude Code.
The processing chain
- Your Claude client sends a request to the gateway at
https://bareminimum.tech, with your key. - The gateway, on its operator's server and GPU, finds personal data, replaces it, and forwards the request to Anthropic's API.
- Anthropic answers the stand-ins; the gateway restores the originals as the reply streams back.
- Signing in goes through Google; access is approved by a manager, and usage counts against your budget.
What the operator sees
Requests pass through the gateway's memory and are never stored. Its logs hold who used it, when, which model and how many tokens, and which pages were visited; the privacy page lists them in full.
