About Thepia
Privacy-first pioneers since 2002. We create technology that empowers you while keeping your data under your control—from mobile encryption to modern AI assistance.
Our Story: Privacy Pioneers Since 2002
Thepia was founded in 2002 with a vision to be your Personal Information Assistant—two decades before AI assistants became mainstream. We pioneered mobile encryption technology that let you access private documents from any computer while keeping your data truly personal. We were too early.
20 years later we restarted the project, we're rethinking personal assistance for the AI era. We believe you want technology that sees what you show it and does useful things with it—helping you communicate efficiently and expand your learning.
Now based in Switzerland, we're building RecordThing and other privacy-first, mobile-first solutions that put you in control of your information.
Our Values
Privacy Pioneer
Twenty years of privacy innovation—from mobile encryption in 2002 to privacy-first AI today. Your data stays under your control.
Build-Learn-Iterate
We prototype first, learn fast, and improve continuously. Real-world testing beats theoretical planning—every innovation serves actual needs.
Camera-First Methodology
We design for the mobile, visual world. Camera-first data collection and micro-applications with targeted purpose—not super-apps.
Coaching Collaborative
We teach while we build. Through mentoring, community leadership, and knowledge sharing, we grow teams and solutions together.
Smart Everyday Products
Smartphone electronics can now be embedded in everyday objects. We make traditional products smarter and more engaging, without web connectivity, respecting privacy and security concerns.
Technology Opportunities with European Standards
We see mobile first and privacy first as an opportunity to make better products. Most products were dreamt up based on yesterdays technological capabilities. With the immense power built into our Devices and the Cloud, we can create very different experiences that provide real value without a Surveilance Society.
