You have been invited
They sent you an Ombra code. Ombra is messaging with no account — no phone number, no email, nothing to sign up for.
Private messaging
There is no account. So there is nothing about you to store, leak, or hand over.
Open Ombra and it makes a key on your phone. That key is who you are. It never leaves the device and we never see it. Your messages are locked before they leave you, and only your friend's phone can open them.
Not a policy. There is simply nowhere to put any of it.

How it works
GENERATING ON THIS DEVICE
7F2Q-MK94-XB1T-RV6P-ZD3N-LC8W-HA5
Your address is made from your key. Nothing is registered and nobody is asked.
It is how a friend checks it is really you. Read it out to them once, in person or on the phone. Nobody can fake that.
There is no password, because there is nothing to log in to.
The keys live on the two phones talking, and they change with every message. A key taken today will not open what was said yesterday.
THREE NAMES SOMEBODY MIGHT TRY
@a_l_p_h_a
@a1pha
@ALPHA
A name is easier to pass on than an address. It is optional, and free from four characters up.
Lookalikes cannot be registered. Characters that look like each other count as the same character, so @a1pha and @alpha are one name, held by whoever got there first.
Pricing
Not a trial, and not a cut-down version. Everything that keeps your messages private is free and always will be.

You pay by card and get a code. Your phone swaps that code for a token, and we sign the token without ever seeing it. You spend it whenever you like.
We can see that someone paid. We cannot see which name they bought.
Checking us
Ombra runs in your browser, which means we hand you the app every time you open it. In theory we could hand one person a different one.
So the app shows a code for the exact version you were given. Compare it with a friend running the same version. If the codes differ, one of you got something else — and that is the thing you would otherwise never spot.
There is no recovery

Get it
The installed app has its own storage. A key made in a browser tab will not come across, so add it to your home screen before you start.
iPhone or iPad
Android or computer
That is the whole setup. No form, no code by text, no waiting.
