Naisho carries your voice directly between two phones, end-to-end encrypted, with no server in between. It is never recorded and never stored. Apart from the diagnostics described below, we collect nothing.
One thing worth stating plainly: your nickname and avatar emoji are broadcast to people nearby who have Naisho open, which is what "seeing who is nearby" is. It travels only over the local radio range and is not uploaded anywhere.
When something goes wrong, Naisho can send a diagnostic report to the developer through iCloud (Apple's CloudKit). It contains:
It never contains voice content.
There are two ways it is sent:
Reports are stored in the developer's iCloud container, used only to investigate problems, never analysed for profiling and never shared with third parties. To have reports you sent deleted, write to hello@naisho.space.
| Permission | What it is for |
|---|---|
| Microphone | Captures your voice only while a conversation is running |
| Local Network | Finds friends nearby and sets up the direct device-to-device link |
| Bluetooth | Lets a friend wake your Naisho; also serves as a backup voice link |
| Nearby Interaction (UWB) | Places a friend more accurately, and connects when you touch devices |
| Notifications | Tells you when a friend is calling |
Every one of them can be turned off in system settings. Naisho does less without them, but it still works.
Naisho is not designed for children and does not knowingly collect information from them.
