<h1>Kullo (* 2012; † 2020)</h1>
<p>
Dear Kullo supporter,<br /><br />it has been a long journey since we started Kullo in late 2012.
With the idea of making secure communication accessible to everyone, we reached many milestones
such as designing an end-to-end encrypted messaging protocol, launching the desktop apps in 2015,
and building mobile applications. Unfortunately, we never found product-market fit. The number of
paid accounts as well as the free usage of Kullo remained at a constant low level. The development
of Kullo slowed down a few years ago and finally came to a halt since the project was not having
enough traction to justify further investment in terms of money and development time. We have been
looking into expanding our business into related fields and discussed potential collaborations
with other companies, but it didn’t work out in the end. In order to avoid risking
bankruptcy of Kullo GmbH, we decided to do a clean liquidation. Consequently, all services
provided by Kullo GmbH shut down during 2020.
</p>
<p>
The shutdown of our servers took place on October 16th 2020 and all user data was deleted a few
weeks after that. I.e. it is impossible to download or send messages. Already downloaded messages
remain accessible locally, though. They can be exported using Kullo for Desktop version 60.
</p>
<p>
All software that we’ve developed
<a href="https://github.com/kullo">is available</a> unter an open source license (BSD 3-clause),
allowing you to build the Kullo client or server on your own, or just reuse some components of it.
However, we don’t support it anymore.
</p>
<p>
This is a sad message for everybody involved: customers, users, founders, supporters, investors,
family and friends. But after carefully considering the options, the best we could do was to
ensure a smooth offboarding and a controlled shutdown.
</p>
<p>
We want to say thank you to all the great people who believed in us and without whom we
couldn’t have gotten this project off the ground. They helped us with advice, money and
moral support. They gave us opportunities we wouldn’t have had without them. And, last but
not least, they advocated for more privacy by using the product and spreading the word. Thank you!
</p>
<p>Simon and Daniel</p>
