Use cases

Built for the moments
that matter.

Privacy isn’t abstract. It’s a laptop changing hands, a story going to print, a folder no one else should open. Here’s where LMN8 earns its keep.

In your own life

Yours to keep,
yours to end.

For journalists, creators, professionals — and anyone who believes their data should answer to them alone.

Selling or passing on a device
Leave nothing behind

A factory reset isn’t enough — your photos, documents, and passwords can outlive it. Wipe what’s personal so the next owner gets a machine, not your life.

Zero
Journalists & researchers
Protect the work, then end it

Keep notes, sources, and drafts in a vault only you can open. When the story ships, end the sensitive material for good — no trace for anyone to find later.

EncryptZero
Private photos & personal files
A vault where your files already live

Turn a private folder into a vault in place — nothing uploaded, nothing copied. A decoy password means a forced unlock never has to show what matters.

Encrypt
Crypto & financial records
Seal the keys to everything else

Seed phrases, statements, and tax records deserve more than a folder named “stuff”. Seal them in a vault, and properly end the copies you no longer need.

EncryptZero
A lost or stolen laptop
End its data from your phone

Trigger a wipe on any linked device the moment it next touches the internet. Losing the hardware doesn’t have to mean losing control of what’s on it.

Zero
Getting home safe
Findable, on your terms

Share your live location with the people you trust — for the walk home, the first date, the late shift — and let the share end itself when you arrive.

SOS· soon
At work

Compliance you can
actually show.

For teams that need evidence — not promises — that sensitive data is protected while it’s needed and gone when it’s not.

Retiring company hardware
Decommission with a clear conscience

Wipe machines before resale, recycling, or return — and opt in to an erasure record so there’s evidence, not just a checkbox, that the data is gone.

Zero
Right-to-erasure requests
Make “we deleted it” true

GDPR, DPDP, and CCPA all grant people the right to be forgotten. Honour it properly: end the data, and keep a record you can stand behind in an audit.

Zero
Legal, HR & finance documents
Sensitive files, keys in-house

Contracts, case files, payroll — encrypted in place, with keys that never leave your machines. Nothing for a cloud breach to expose.

Encrypt
Offboarding & shared machines
Clean exits, every time

Schedule recurring cleanups of exports, downloads, and scratch folders — filtered by type, age, or name — so sensitive leftovers never pile up.

Zero

Whatever the moment,
you’re in control.

Start with the feature you need today — the rest are right there when you’re ready.
