The name
We first called it Looms.
We thought the problem was how to manage every thread of identity. Then we realised people did not need another machine to manage access.
They needed a door.

Not your number.
Port is a messenger where people reach you by a Port ID — a short code you hand out, and close when you are done with it. Your phone number is how you sign in. It is not how you get found.
Android. Built by ila.
A Port ID looks like PORT-8F4K-X9M2.
The landline disappeared.
The number stayed.
A phone number once pointed at a telephone in a room. One line, one house, one place you could be called.
Then it became your login. Your delivery contact. Your work identity. Your bank’s idea of who you are. A permanent route back to you that you handed to a food app in 2017 and can never take back.
The world changed. The primitive did not.

How it works
The person stays.
The doors change.
- 01Open
Create a Port for the person, the job, the listing, the moment.
- 02Share
Send the Port ID, or let them scan the QR code. No number changes hands.
- 03Close
Shut that door. The conversation ends. Everything else you have keeps working.
Your number never becomes the thing you hand out, so it never becomes the thing you regret handing out.
Superport
One Port.
A separate connection with everyone.
A Superport is one reusable Port. Put it in a bio, on a card, on a shopfront, and everyone who walks through it gets their own private connection — with you, never with each other. One door. No number.

Claim your Superport.
Free, and customised to a name you choose.
A Superport never makes more Ports. It accepts more connections — and each one can be muted, blocked or closed on its own, without touching the door everyone else uses.
Your number has done enough.
Let it go back to being a phone number.
