Antara
A web where identity is user-owned
Antara is built on a simple principle: apps should not need direct access to your personal contact data.
What Antara Does
Antara is a privacy-first identity and communication layer between users and applications. It replaces the traditional model where every app collects your email and phone number with a system where apps receive only an opaque, per-app identity slug.
The Problem
Today, when you sign up for an app, you give it your email. That email becomes your identity, your login, your notification channel, and a tracking vector — all at once. Every app has it. Every data breach exposes it. You have no control.
How Antara Solves It
Antara sits between you and every app. When you approve an app, Antara generates a unique, random slug — a 128-bit identifier that the app uses instead of your email. The app never sees your email, phone, or any personal data.
- No cross-app correlation — each app gets a different slug. They can't link your identities.
- No email exposure — your email is encrypted (AES-256-GCM) and never shared.
- Revocable identity — you can revoke or rotate your slug at any time.
- Controlled communication — apps message you through your Antara inbox. You control who can reach you.
How It Works (Simple Explanation)
- You create one Antara account (just your email, no password).
- When an app wants to recognize you as a unique user (Antara ID) without your email, it sends you to Antara.
- You approve the app. Antara generates a random slug for it.
- The app receives the slug. It can message you through Antara. It never gets your email.
- If you want, you rotate the slug or revoke access entirely.
Philosophy
Build privacy into defaults. Keep communication controlled by intent. Design systems that scale trust, not just growth.
