End-to-end encryption, contact verification, secure recovery, identity-change warnings and authenticated delivery must be independently implemented and reviewed before any real launch.

Disappearing messages, read states and content restrictions are not active. iPhones cannot guarantee that screenshots are prevented.

Between Us — Second Draft 2G, isolated private prototype. No server, accounts, authentication, encryption, invitations or real messaging. Demo conversation text is held in this page only and resets on refresh; no message leaves the device. Affection now has three distinct playback volume levels (Gentle 28%, Heartfelt 53%, Deep 78%) and visibly graduated hues (soft blush, rose, and deep berry) and three distinct private-test expressions: Gentle (soft and shorter), Heartfelt (the exact approved piano excerpt), and Deep (fuller audio). The original approved excerpt remains unchanged. Deep Affection now has subtle, decorative floating hearts, with reduced-motion support. Other emotions are visual-only placeholders until you select and approve their music. Piano file distribution rights must be confirmed before public release.
