Owning a piece of the internet shouldn’t require a desk.

Handshake gave us names nobody can take away. But managing them has meant desktop apps, command lines, or handing keys to a custodian. Ownership that only works at your desk isn’t ownership you can live with — or show anyone.

Three steps to carry your names home

01
Download Tilde

Native Swift, built for iOS — not a webview.

02
Create or import your wallet

Keys are generated on-device into the hardware-backed Keychain. Pick a security tier — device-only, or end-to-end-encrypted iCloud recovery — and Tilde tells you plainly what each protects and what you’d lose.

03
Carry your names home

Balances, names, auctions, renewals — verified on your phone.

Built by a name holder, for name holders.

Tilde exists because its builder got tired of booting a laptop to prove a point. It’s native Swift, verifies the Handshake chain itself over encrypted P2P, and keeps keys in your iPhone’s hardware-backed Keychain — device-only, or end-to-end-encrypted iCloud recovery; your call. Non-custodial by construction — there is no Tilde server that could hold your names.

Names expire. Custodians freeze. Don’t find out the hard way.

Tilde works out every name’s expiry on your device and reminds you 90, 30 and 7 days out — on your phone, where you’ll actually see it — and keeps your keys where nobody else can lose them. How renewals work

The best argument for Handshake fits in your hand.

Pull up a live name/ in front of someone. Watch the question change from “why would I want that?” to “how do I get one?” Tilde makes every holder a demo.
