Parallel Wiki build: page from sourced research, source-checked 9 October 2026

New page

Software you install and run.

The core Logos software, [[Basecamp]] and the node, has its own pages under [[Logos]]. See [[Basecamp]] and [[Run a node]].

== Tools ==
* [[Booth]]: broadcast a live stream from Basecamp over Logos Messaging, with no server or account. Prototype.
* [[Medusa]]: a self-custody privacy wallet for the Logos Execution Zone, run as a Basecamp module. Prototype.

Each tool page has a stage: Design, Planning, Prototype, Almost done or Full Release. The page says which line from the project's own sources set the stage.

== Criteria for listing a tool ==
The format of these criteria comes from [https://www.privacyguides.org/en/about/criteria/ Privacy Guides] and its [https://www.privacyguides.org/en/vpn/ VPN criteria], which split each test into a minimum and a best case. A tool must meet every minimum to be listed here. The best case is what we hope to see.

=== Open source licence ===
'''Minimum to qualify:'''
* Released under a licence approved by the Open Source Initiative or the Free Software Foundation.
* The licence is named in the repository.
'''Best case:'''
* A copyleft or permissive licence that matches the rest of the Logos stack.
* Every dependency it ships is also open source.

=== Published code ===
'''Minimum to qualify:'''
* All source code is public in a repository anyone can read.
* A reader can build it from that source.
'''Best case:'''
* Versioned releases with notes on what changed.
* Signed releases, and builds that can be reproduced.
* Dependencies pinned to exact versions.

=== Documentation ===
'''Minimum to qualify:'''
* Install and use instructions a newcomer can follow.
* Build instructions.
'''Best case:'''
* A step-by-step guide from zero to working.
* A plain statement of known limits and the threat model: what it protects against and what it does not.

=== Privacy ===
'''Minimum to qualify:'''
* No analytics, telemetry or tracking.
* No account or personal information needed to use it.
'''Best case:'''
* Works over Tor or another anonymity network.
* Keeps no logs or records of its users.
* Keys and secrets stay on the user's own device.

=== Who maintains it ===
'''Minimum to qualify:'''
* A named maintainer or team, or a public handle with a history of commits.
* Some way to report bugs, such as an issue tracker.
'''Best case:'''
* More than one active maintainer.
* A security policy, a way to disclose bugs in private and an independent audit.
* Says clearly whether it is an official Logos product or a community project.
