No accounts, no cloud, no data ever leaves your device. This is a private dossier, not a social network. • Whisper to capture.

Build your own map of who knows whom. • Group your people. Create circles like Work, Neighbors, or Gym. • Map your places. Pin where you met people and find them by location.
