A different kind of place online — one that belongs to the people who use it, not to a company far away.
Your words, your photos, the people you love — sealed on your own phone, never sold, never used against you.
Social media is where the harm is plainest — so it is where we begin.
A social home for people, by people — and the proof of a kinder way to build everything that follows.
Companies like Facebook, Instagram and TikTok treat your life as a commodity — your words, your habits, even your children's faces, packaged and sold. Zetareh People is our first answer: a place to gather that takes nothing from you.
Your data is yours
What you share stays yours — kept safe, never sold, never used against you.
Sealed by encryption
Locked before it ever leaves your phone. Not even Zetareh can read it — only the people you choose.
You stay in control
Your identity and your choices are your own. No company owns you, watches you, or decides for you.
The power of your phone, made simple
Camera, Face ID, depth, location — put within easy reach on iPhone and Android. No technical skill needed.
Trust that belongs to people, not platforms.
A new way to prove who you are and keep what's yours sealed — without ever handing a company the keys. Drawn from decades of deep-technology invention.
Everything is locked before it leaves your phone. Not even Zetareh can read it — only the people you choose.
No operator ever holds a key over you. Sovereignty here is not a promise — it is the architecture.
Lose your key and you get back in like a two-key vault — several trusted people turning their keys together. No one, and no company, can open it alone.
Prove who you are and give consent on your own terms — the very trust the largest institutions depend on.
The keys are yours — you decide who holds them.
Like a bank vault that won't open with a single key, your Zetareh vault opens only with keys you control. Lose your own, and you get back in through the people you trust — or, if you'd rather, Zetareh can help — but only ever at your request.
- No key is held over you. Not a thief with one key, not an employee, not a silent demand. Zetareh holds a recovery key only if you choose to give one.
- Recovery, your way. Get back in through the people you trust, verify yourself with a trusted identity app, or let Zetareh help — whichever you choose, used only at your request when your key is lost.
- You decide who you trust. Sovereignty isn't "no help ever" — it's that you choose who can help, and nothing ever happens without you asking.
Measured against the best — honestly.
We don't compare ourselves to the worst offenders. We compare to the finest privacy tools ever built — Signal, Proton, Apple — and we say plainly where we lead and where they still lead us.

Where we lead
Sovereign identity no operator can revoke, recovery entirely on your terms, a home the whole family can actually use, and a foundation others can build their own apps on. No one else does all four at once.
Where they still lead us — and we say so
Signal and Proton are open-source and independently audited; Zetareh is patent-pending and new — not yet audited or proven at their scale. Trust like that is earned over years, and we intend to earn it, not claim it early.
From one family's front door to the world's largest institutions.
The same trust that protects a family is exactly what banks, hospitals, governments and property firms depend on — knowing who you are, keeping records sealed, asking consent.
Built for the giants, too
Every large institution runs on identity, sealed records and consent — the very things Zetareh is built to do. In time they come to it, because it stands on both technology and humanity.
Build here, don't just visit
Soon anyone can ask for a grant and raise their own space — their own app — on the same trusted foundation everyone else stands on. A few trusted makers are already proving the way.
Seats for those the world left behind
Grants go first where they are needed most — to people from nations held back by scarcity, or scarred by war and invasion. Technology should reach the hands long kept from it.
Built to be built on — together.
Zetareh answers to no single owner, so the way forward is partnership: makers who build on it, funders who share its values, and institutions who need the trust it's made of.
Makers & builders
Ask for a grant and raise your own space or app on the same trusted foundation everyone stands on. A few trusted makers are already proving the way.
Non-profit partners
We turned away venture capital. Real servers and the AI that powers them carry real cost — we look to partners who share these values, so seats can open wider.
Institutions
Banks, hospitals, governments and property firms all need identity, sealed records and consent. Zetareh is built to give exactly that.
Zetareh on your phone.

Refuse to be a commodity!
You enter the public commons
Your account places you in Zetareh People — the open, public layer. Self-serve, no invite, and it takes nothing from you. This is where you find people and gather in the open.
Then you raise your own secure vault
When you're ready, you create your personal vault — sealed on your device, the keys yours alone. If you ever lose your key, getting back in works like a real vault that opens only when two trusted keys turn together — so no one, and no company, can ever open it alone. The commons is where you meet; the vault is where your life is kept.
