One app instead of five on your phone.
Phocod replaces the separate apps you'd otherwise install — social messaging, job search and a professional profile, a local buy-and-sell marketplace, games, and more — with one private account. Your data is never pooled across apps, and chat messages can be end-to-end encrypted so no one but you and the recipient can read them.
Replaces separate social, job-search, and marketplace apps
Messages can be end-to-end encrypted — not even Phocod can read them
Nothing is pooled across apps without your permission
One account, one password, everywhere on the platform

How it works
One sign-in, verified independently by each app you open — no app ever touches Phocod's database directly.
Sign in once
Create your Phocod account or log in — your password is checked and hashed here, nowhere else.
Open any app
That app asks Phocod for a short-lived identity token on your behalf.
It signs you in
The token is verified, a session is minted, and the token is discarded — unusable again.
Why a separate identity app
Every other Phocod app is independent — its own database, its own deploy, its own pace of change.
One account, every app
Sign in once to Phocod and you're authenticated everywhere — Chat, Professional, Marketplace, Entertainment, Intelligent. No separate passwords to manage or forget.
No shared databases
Every app owns its own data. Phocod is the only place your password lives — other apps only ever see a short-lived, single-use token.
Built as its own domain
Identity has one job: know who you are, and prove it to the rest of the platform.
What actually keeps this confidential
No vague "bank-level security" claims — here's exactly what's implemented, so you know who can (and can't) see your data.
Messages only you and the recipient can read
Chat conversations can be end-to-end encrypted device-to-device (ECDH key exchange, AES-256-GCM) — once you turn it on, not even Phocod can read the message.
Nothing pooled across apps
Chat, Professional, and Marketplace each keep their own database. Nobody can cross-reference your messages, your profile, and your listings without your say-so.
Passwords, hashed properly
Hashed with scrypt, a memory-hard algorithm built into Node's own crypto — not stored, not reversible, not shared with any other Phocod app.
Tokens that only work once
Valid for 30 days, but usable exactly once — replaying it a second time is rejected outright.
Rate-limited by design
Login and signup are rate-limited per account, so repeated password-guessing is slowed down automatically.
Cookies your browser's JS can't read
Session cookies are httpOnly and same-site — invisible to page scripts, sent only to the app that issued them.
Compared to the apps you already use
Named, checkable facts about the apps Phocod is meant to replace — not a generic "us vs. them," and not a claim that Phocod already matches every one of them feature-for-feature.

Frequently asked questions
Is my password shared with Chat, Professional, or the other apps?
No. Your password is hashed and stored only by Phocod (this app). Other apps never see it — they receive a short-lived, single-use token proving you're signed in, not your credentials.
What happens if a token leaks?
Identity tokens are single-use — each app rejects a token it's already seen once, even before it expires 30 days later. A leaked token that's already been used is rejected outright.
Why not just use a third-party login provider?
Phocod's apps are independent codebases with their own databases, sharing only identity. Running our own identity service keeps that boundary explicit and means no user data ever needs to leave the platform.
Can Phocod read my messages?
Not if you turn on encryption for a conversation — it uses device-to-device key exchange (ECDH) and AES-256-GCM, so only your device and the recipient's hold the key. Encryption is opt-in per conversation, not on by default yet.
Is Phocod finished?
No — it's in active development. The identity and single sign-on flow described here is real and working today; some linked apps are still being built out.
This app is in active development
The sign-in and single sign-on flow above is real and working today. Sign-in for every Phocod app, including this one, routes through here.
