During the Christmas holidays we have moved to new offices in Hanover. After eight years of developing Tutanota, we have on-boarded so many developers that our beloved offices in the Hanomaghof have become too cramped. Now, we are still situated in Linden-Süd with enough space to grow our team by the dozens - and that's what we are planning to do in the next eight years!

Tutanota is the go-to app for secure emails: With built-in encryption all data is protected, and no one but the intended recipient can read your emails - even we, the Tutanota developers, have no access. Started in 2011, Tutanota now is an email client with an encrypted address book and calendar. Matthias Pfau explains why secure communications are so important in times of all-round surveillance.
