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. Stay on Contacts while the other person uses the link or QR code.
3

Or paste an invite you received

If someone sent you a link, paste it under Paste an invite link and click Pair. Stay on Contacts until you’re connected.
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.
Stay on the Contacts screen until pairing finishes. If either person navigates away before the invite is used (for example, before someone clicks your link or before you click Pair after pasting a link), the handshake won’t complete. Return to Contacts, generate or paste a new invite, and try again.
