## About Tlon

Tlon is building the only communication tool you can trust.

We spent the first decade of Tlon's history building Urbit, a complete, wholly encapsulated system for a user to run a personal server in the cloud. Our initial product is a high quality messenger for small groups built on this foundation. Over time we're going to evolve that messenger into a social OS.
