About

how this works

efrei.app is an unofficial, free student toolkit for people studying at EFREI (or anywhere else — nothing here is gated). Every tool is served from a single homelab k3s pod running a Rust WASI 0.3 component behind wasmtime serve, plus a small native sidecar for metadata-stripping across 24+ file formats.

Your device does nothing. No WebAssembly shipped to the browser, no local GPU inference — you upload, the pod computes, you download. Laptop battery and CPU untouched.

No tracking, no accounts, no storage. Files are processed in memory and discarded when the response is written. No cookies, no analytics, no fingerprinting, no logs beyond standard HTTP access lines.

Not affiliated with EFREI or Galileo Global Education. This is an unofficial parody project, built and run by a student.
