Introducing Soterios: An Open‑Source Windows Security/Maintenance Suite (Contributors Welcome)

For the past few weeks, I have been building Soterios, an open-source, local-first security and system maintenance suite for Windows.

The idea started simple: most security tools either lock features behind paywalls or collect unnecessary data. I wanted something different, so I built a privacy-first application with:

  • No telemetry
  • No analytics
  • No network activity unless you explicitly enable it

Current Features

  • Malware scanning with ClamAV, quarantine, and reporting
  • Windows security audits
  • Firewall management and network monitoring
  • Credential safety tools with local password checks and breach lookups
  • Process inspection and system maintenance utilities

Built With

Soterios is built with Electron and Node.js using a modular architecture designed to make future expansion straightforward.

Why I'm Sharing It

I'd rather build in the open than in isolation. Feedback, ideas, bug reports, and contributions are always welcome.
