Privilio is a private, end-to-end encrypted home for the people in your life. Every contact, note, and file is encrypted on your device with a passphrase only you know โ so your address book stays yours, even as it syncs across your devices. Privilio's servers only ever store scrambled ciphertext: we can't read your data, and neither can anyone else. Built for people who take privacy seriously โ founders, investors, lawyers, journalists, and anyone who'd rather not hand their relationships to a data broker. KEY FEATURES โข End-to-end encryption โ contacts are encrypted on-device before they ever sync. Zero-knowledge by design. โข Passphrase-protected โ only your passphrase unlocks your data. A forgotten passphrase can't be recovered, by design. โข Smart contacts โ organize with tags (VIP, Work, Personal, Investor), pin key people, and keep private notes and last-contacted history. โข Secure Vault โ lock your most sensitive contacts behind a separate PIN. Vaulted contacts are never exported. โข Import your way โ bring contacts in from CSV, vCard, or your Microsoft/Outlook account, encrypted on-device on the way in. โข Fast, private search โ find anyone instantly, processed locally on your device. โข Sync across devices โ your encrypted address book follows you, securely.
