Contacts is the list of people you’ve connected with, plus your own identity. Open Contacts in the left sidebar to manage your connections.

The contact list

  • Each contact shows an avatar and a display name you can edit inline.
  • Per-contact actions: Message (opens Messages), View Profile (where enabled), and Remove.

Your identity

  • You have a device identity with a display name and a cryptographic key used to secure your connections with contacts.
  • This identity is created once, on first run — you don’t need to set anything up.

Add a contact

Connect with another person by exchanging a one-time invite.
1

Open the Contacts tab

Select Contacts in the sidebar. At the top you’ll find an Add Contact area.
2

Generate an invite to share

Click Generate Invite, then share the QR code or link with the person you want to add. The invite works once.
3

Or paste an invite you received

If someone sent you a link, paste it under Paste an invite link and click Pair.
4

You're connected

Once paired, the person appears in your Contacts list with their name and online status. From there you can Message them or Remove them.
