## What is Symbolons?

In ancient Greece, two friends would break a token in two and each keep one half: the symbolon. Put back together, the halves proved their bond. Symbolons brings that idea to your passwords.

PASSWORDS NO PHONE KNOWS WHOLE
Symbolons cuts each password into pieces. You keep one, your friends keep the others on their phones. A thief who gets hold of a single device only gets a useless fragment.

REBUILT WHEN YOU MEET
Need a password? Get close to a friend with Symbolons open: the missing pieces come over Bluetooth, encrypted, and the whole password shows just long enough to use it. It is never stored whole again.

TWO WAYS TO SHARE
• Same piece for everyone: each friend keeps the second half, any one of them is enough to rebuild the password.
• A different piece for each: everyone has to be there. Perfect for your most sensitive secrets.

AUTOFILL
Turn Symbolons on in the iOS settings: your logins show up above the keyboard in Safari and in apps, shared ones included.

FRIENDS CHECKED FACE TO FACE
You become friends by meeting: both phones show the same 6-digit code, which you check out loud. From then on, every exchange is end-to-end encrypted.

YOU STAY IN CONTROL
• A notification tells you when a friend uses their piece, changes or deletes a password.
• Unshare a password at any time to get it back whole.
• Keep your friends' pieces too: you are their vault, they are yours.

NO SERVER, NO ACCOUNT
No sign-up, no cloud, no ads, no data collected. Everything stays in your iPhone's encrypted Keychain, locked with Face ID or your password, and is only exchanged with the friends you choose.
