    Pointview is in early testing by Padi, Inc. By signing up, you agree that:

    • This is a test version, provided as-is, and may not always work.
    • Your account and messages may be deleted at any time during testing.
    • You are at least 16 years old and live in the United States.
    • You won't use Pointview to harass anyone or to share illegal content.
    • Padi may use any feedback you give to improve Pointview.

    Your messages are end-to-end encrypted, and Padi can't read them. Padi keeps only what's needed to run your account, and you can ask for it to be deleted at any time.

      An invite works once, for one person, for 7 days. Let them scan the code, or send them the link.

      Shown only now. Make another for the next person.

        Contacts

          You

          This is your whole page. What strangers see is set below.

          Edit your page

          Drag to move. What shows inside the ring is what others see.

          Saved.

          Your page link

          Your old handle is held for 90 days and sends visitors to your new page.

          Who sees your page

          Only strangers. People you're connected with see you through your connection.

          Your details

          Entered once and kept with your account, locked with a key only your devices hold, so every one of them shows the same. Each contact gets only what the personas you give them include, end-to-end encrypted, and their copy stays current.

            Saved.

            Personas

            A persona is one face you show: a choice from your details. A contact can be shown more than one, and sees everything in any of them. Your name and picture are in every persona.

                  Notifications

                  A notification says who wrote, never what: the message itself never leaves your devices unencrypted.

                  Appearance

                  System follows this device's own setting. Your choice is kept on this device only.

                  Blocked

                  They cannot invite you or accept your invites, and you cannot invite them. They are not told.

                    Admin

                          This is your own invite. Send it to someone else; it works once.

                          To accept, first set up this device. You'll come back here when it's ready.

                          You are already contacts.

                          This group is full: it has 50 people, the most a group can have.

                          Accepting checks their keys, then sets up an encrypted conversation between all of your devices and theirs.
