Why this exists
Giving out a phone number you cannot take back.
To reach someone once, you often hand over a number you keep for years. APOUL Relay is being built so that connecting with someone does not require that.
What it does
What it does.
Send and receive
Send, receive, read. The things a messaging app has to do, done without clutter.
Privacy at the centre
How messages and personal data are handled sits at the centre of the design. The specifics go here once they are fixed.
Simple to use
A screen that goes straight to the point of getting in touch, rather than a list of features.
When you would use it
Situations, not features.
Someone you would rather not give your number to
A one-off exchange, or a transaction, without handing over a personal number.
Keeping work and life apart
One device, but separate ways in.
Something that must not get buried
A message you want to be sure actually arrives.
How it goes
The basic flow.
You should be able to guess the next step without reading a manual.
What is not written here yet.
The encryption method, what is stored, the supported devices and the price are not decided, so they are not described on this page. They will be added as they are fixed.
