DaemonChannel · free and accountless

Share where you are.
Keep the channel yours.

Make a private location circle in the moment—at a bar, on a walk home, during a family trip. Every person carries one encrypted DaemonSigil. A live threshold must be present, and you choose exactly who receives precise, approximate, or no location.

  • No account
  • 2–8 people

Start on impulse

One QR. Six words. Done.

Names are encrypted and local to the participants. The invite secret stays in the URL fragment, which browsers do not send in an HTTP request.

HOST

Make the private circle

Nothing is created server-side. Your browser makes the keys and a two-minute assembly route.

Relay and custody details

The relay sees stable route and slot identifiers, timing, IP addresses, fixed-size traffic, and liveness. It receives no names, location plaintext, passphrases, or application keys and stores no offline queue.

Honest security boundary

Private from the service, not magic.

DaemonChannel minimizes what exists. It does not promise that networks, operating systems, browsers, recipients, or compromised devices reveal nothing.

The relay can learn

IP addresses, timing, route and slot identifiers, fixed-size traffic volume, active quorum, and connection failures. A network observer can learn similar metadata.

The relay cannot decrypt

Participant labels, custody shards, safety transcripts, tracking choices, location events, acknowledgements, or viewing heartbeats.

Nothing is a transcript

Location fixes live in memory for at most 15 seconds. They are never written to IndexedDB, DaemonSigils, logs, an offline queue, or the custody state.

Recipients remain recipients

Anyone you authorize can screenshot, record, relay, or remember a location. Remove them and stop future sends; past disclosure cannot be revoked.

Children need adult safeguards

A self-custody tool cannot decide who is safe. Guardians remain responsible for consent, coercion risks, device access, local law, and an offline safety plan.

Browser limits are visible

Background execution is not promised. Hiding or closing the page stops sharing. Native Daemon and Daemon Cloud support remain future work.
