About

Occulta

Features

Your contacts app tells you who people are. It doesn't prove it's really them, and it hands every file you send through it to someone else's servers. Occulta is a cryptographic address book. Meet someone in person, and UWB hardware exchanges verified keys directly between your phones: no server ever sees them, no account is created, no phone number required. From then on, encrypt any file, photo, or video for that person and send it however you want: AirDrop, email, iMessage, any chat app. If one channel goes down, use another. The security lives in the key, not the pipe. Every key in your collection represents someone you actually met. No certificate authority vouched for them. No company holds a copy. No legal process can hand over what was never stored anywhere but your phone. Key Features • In-person key exchange via Nearby Interaction (iPhone 11+): UWB proximity confirms it's really them • Diceware verification words: a quick, human-friendly check that catches what UWB alone can't • Encrypt files, photos, and videos for anyone in your collection; share the result over any channel you choose • Encrypted group sharing: protect a file for an entire group at once • Protected by Apple Secure Enclave: your private keys are generated on-device and never leave it • No accounts, no servers, no tracking: nothing to breach, subpoena, or sell • Quantum-resistant by design: ML-KEM 1024 protects today's exchanges against tomorrow's quantum computers (iOS 26+) • Identity challenge: if a contact's account is ever hijacked, the impostor can't produce a valid signed response. A stolen account can't quietly keep talking in your place. • Shamir Secret Sharing: split vault recovery across trusted people, so no single point of failure can lock you out or hand you over • Secure Mode: a coercion-resistant layer that keeps sensitive contacts and data invisible under duress Occulta doesn't ask you to trust a company. It asks you to meet someone once. Everything after that is yours. Forever.
