Doma is a private messenger for exactly two people — you and your partner, in one shared home. One of you creates the home and shows a QR code. The other scans it, with the camera or from a screenshot, and you're connected. No sign-up, no phone numbers, no accounts. EVERYTHING YOU NEED, NOTHING YOU DON'T • Messages, photos and videos • Voice messages with an on-device transcript • Send your location, or share it live for one hour • Edit or delete your messages for both of you • Delivered and read ticks • Turn any message into a reminder, a note or a calendar event PRIVATE BY DESIGN • End-to-end encrypted: messages, photos, voice and location are encrypted on your iPhone with a key that only your two devices have. • Stored in your own iCloud. We run no servers and cannot read anything you send. • Notifications just say "New message in Doma" — never the content. • No ads, no tracking, no analytics. • Either of you can disconnect at any time. Doma is made for couples who want one quiet place for the two of them.
