Parasol Security
Offline knowledge bases for security guidelines and updates
Parasol Security is iOS and Android mobile apps which allow people to read knowledge-bases locally on their mobile devices for scenarios like receiving security guidelines or security updates. Everything works as normal when online, but Parasol Security thrives especially in places with unstable internet or totally offline scenarios. People may submit feedback to knowledge-bases creators as well as receive alerts about new information in the apps whenever they are online.

About
The initial Parasol Security mobile apps are hard forks of the Umbrella codebases which were created by Security First. In addition to minor aesthetic and usability updates, the biggest difference is our forked apps now download their knowledge-bases from a self-hosted Nextcloud instance instead of a stand-alone Tent server as the Umbrella apps do. This allows anyone who already runs a Nextcloud server to start hosting Parasol knowledge-bases immediately without needing to deploy and configure a new web service.
Codebases
If you would like to contribute code, UX testing, translations, create knowledge bases, or in some other way- we would love to hear from you. All our code is hosted on the non-profit git hosting platform Codeberg. The repositories for our apps can be found there.
Support
Initial funding for these forked Parasol Security apps came from the KURVE Wustrow e.V. and is being stewarded by Holistic Protection for the time being. If you are interested in supporting future development monetarily, please write to us, we would love to talk further.
