How it works

No phone numbers.
No email addresses.
No usernames.

Sentient is a calling and messaging app that does not use phone numbers, email addresses or usernames. Trusted contacts like family, friends and coworkers are added using a quickly expiring QR code or PIN. Without a permanent address or public identifier, there’s nothing to search for, leaving scammers with no way to reach you.

Every organization is verified.

Sentient features a Business Registry where each company and institution is individually verified against official government and regulatory records. Connect with the businesses, banks, credit unions, insurance companies, hospitals and government agencies you rely on, knowing that you’re talking to someone from the real organization and never someone pretending to be them.

Scamming you just got too expensive.

Scammers use fleets of fake accounts running on emulators to target thousands of people simultaneously. Sentient uses device and app attestation to block the app from running on emulators. Therefore, for scammers to expand their operations, they will have to buy a new device for each new account they want to create. This drives up their hardware costs, making it financially unreasonable to pursue you.

Built for the quantum era.

Cybercriminals are recording internet traffic right now as they await the arrival of quantum computers powerful enough to decrypt the stolen data. Sentient uses ML-KEM, a U.S. government-endorsed algorithm designed to resist attacks from future quantum computers.
