Sovereign Takeout — all your data, out of Big Tech, into one folder on your Desktop.

Press start, stay logged in, wait. Sovereign Takeout walks the official export flow of eight services in your own browser, then sorts every archive it finds into ~/Desktop/SovereignTakeout/.

Where this fits in the full chain

Sovereign Switch names one move: export your data from every service you use, and re-host it on infrastructure you own. SoTranscribe is the first link built end to end — a sovereign replacement for one specific service. Sovereign Takeout works the other half of the pattern, across all eight services at once: it gets your data out. The re-hosting side, service by service, is what the rest of Sovereign Switch is building toward.

Kindred work: exit.tech — an open, crowd-sourced prototype by xAlisher mapping exits from Big Tech platforms, with the alternatives published as open data. Where exit.tech maps the destinations, Sovereign Takeout automates the departure: getting your data out first.

How it works

Step 1

Press start

Run it locally — Python 3, no install beyond that. It opens a dashboard on your own machine at 127.0.0.1:8377. Nothing leaves localhost.

Step 2

Agents walk the export flow — you stay logged in

A browser agent (or you, clicking through the same prompt as a checklist) walks each service's official data-export page. You handle login and 2FA yourself; the tool and every agent prompt refuse to touch credentials.

Step 3

Everything lands sorted

A background watcher recognizes each archive as it arrives, verifies it by inspecting its contents, and moves it into its own folder under ~/Desktop/SovereignTakeout/<service>/.

Stage 2 — the right to be forgotten (optional, per service)

Once a service's export is independently verified complete, its card unlocks a GDPR Art. 17 erasure request. Sending one requires a filled-in profile and typing that service's name to confirm — there is no bulk-erasure button anywhere in the tool.

Erasure is irreversible. Once a service processes it, there is generally no undo. Stage 2 stays behind a verified-complete export, a filled profile, and your explicit typed confirmation for every single service — on purpose, so nothing gets deleted by accident or by default.

Simulated data, no account is touched — a click-through of the exact dashboard the real local app shows you, running against an in-page fake backend.

Local-first, on purpose

v0.1.0 beta — open source and usable today for anyone comfortable running a local Python tool. It is not (yet) a packaged download; there is no installer and no app store listing.
