Features¶
Vauchi is designed to be simple, private, and useful. Here's what it can do.
Core Features¶
Contact Exchange¶
Exchange contact cards in person via QR code. Both parties must be physically present, preventing spam and impersonation.
Privacy Controls¶
Control what each contact can see. Show your work email to colleagues, your personal number to friends, and hide your home address from acquaintances.
Multi-Device Sync¶
Use Vauchi on your phone, tablet, and computer. All devices share the same identity and stay in sync.
Auto Updates¶
When you update your contact card, everyone who has it sees the change automatically. No more outdated contact information.
Backup & Recovery¶
Protect your identity with encrypted backups. If you lose access to all devices, social recovery lets trusted contacts help you regain access.
Encryption¶
Everything is end-to-end encrypted. Your data is unreadable to anyone except you and your contacts — including us.
