Indie – Home

Indie is Aral Balkan and Laura Kalbag, two European designers who build things.

We make Better Blocker, a privacy tool that blocks web trackers.

We also work on the Indienet initiative to create a fairer and more equal internet. Everything we build is free and open.

Indienet initative, exploring how federated personal web sites can empower individual sovereignty and a healthy commons in the digital age.
