How Haven Works
Your Face ID protects your account. Your ring gives you fast access and a special ritual for your most precious memories.
| What you want to do | Ring required | Recommended |
|---|---|---|

| Quick notes & drafts | No | Just start writing |
| Seal an important memory | Yes | Seal with Ring |
| Add or remove a ring | Yes | Face ID confirmation |
| Export data | Yes | Face ID confirmation |
| Delete sealed memories | Yes | Face ID + extra confirmation |
| Handle a lost ring | No | Revoke from any signed-in device |
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 saves immediately on your device; cloud backup is optional and runs in the background.
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.
