Built for the AI Era

🔐

Zero-Knowledge Encryption

All data encrypted client-side with XChaCha20-Poly1305. The server never sees your plaintext.

🆔

Portable Identity

Your DID (Decentralized Identifier) works everywhere. No platform lock-in.

💾

Local-First

Works offline. Syncs when connected. Your data lives on your machine.

⚡

Instant Setup

One command to create your identity. One command to start the daemon.

🧠

Memory & Context

AI remembers you across sessions, apps, and devices. Your context follows you.

🌐

Open Protocol

Anyone can implement a server. The protocol is the product, not the platform.

Security First

🔐 End-to-End Encryption

All data encrypted client-side before reaching the server. Zero-knowledge architecture ensures your data stays private.

🔑 Ed25519 Signatures

Military-grade elliptic curve cryptography for identity verification. Challenge-response authentication.

💾 Local-First Storage

Your data lives on your device. Optional sync when connected. Full offline support.

How It Works

Generate an Ed25519 key pair. Your public key becomes your DID.

Start the Daemon

Run the local server. It stores your encrypted identity graph.

Connect AI Apps

Any AI app can read your context. You control what's shared.
