Human verification with no record of who you are.
Proof of humanity without proof of identity.
Privacy technology, built in Los Angeles. Our first app is pruf.net, in public beta on iPhone now.
- 0 = PIIZero personally identifiable information
- No email. No password.
- No phone number.
- No face on file.
- No back door.
01 — The company
We found a way to connect people without asking who they are.
Every network starts the same way. Hand over your name, an email, a phone number, and then you may join. That record follows you for years, through every breach and every buyer of it. We thought the trade was wrong, so we spent our time on a different question: could a network know you are a real person without ever learning who you are? It can. Face ID is the door. Behind it, there’s no record of who you are. No name, no contact detail, no face on our side. You connect. You stay yourself. What you share from there is your call.

- First application
- pruf.net
- Status
- iOS public beta
The first place to try it is a social network we built on it, so anyone can watch it work. Zero PII, end-to-end encrypted, closed to bots, and a walled garden of photos people took themselves. For anyone who has had enough of AI content.
- Zero PII
- Never asks for your name, email, phone number, password or government ID. Never stores personal information in plain text. No face on file.
- Humans
- One person, one phone, Face ID on the device. Bots can’t get in.
- Private
- Messages and the vault are end-to-end encrypted. We can’t read them either.
- Real
- No uploads. Every photo in the feed was shot in the app by the account posting it.
- Beta
- 10,000 seats on TestFlight. Free during beta. No ads.

What comes next runs on the same network.
Websites, AI agents, anything that needs a human at the door and nothing else about them. More when it ships.
