Five Key Points
1. The dynamic NFC ring is the ceremony key for memories that matter.
2. Face ID protects the account and remains the secure fallback.
3. Sealing a sacred memory requires a trusted physical ring touch.
4. High-risk actions typically require secondary verification.
5. Sealed memories are encrypted, final, and intentionally quiet.
Local-first by default
Sealed content stays encrypted on this device. The ring confirms a seal — sign-in opens the app.
If something is lost or broken
Sign in on a trusted device to recover. Retire a lost ring credential as soon as you can.
Optional cross-device backup
Plus adds optional encrypted cloud backup (50 GB cap per account). Memories stay on each device unless you back up. One account per person.
