Eish Notes

What we do with your messages

In short: we use your voice notes to type them out, and nothing else. Every other message is thrown away the moment it arrives. You don't have to take our word for it: the code is public, and you can check that it's the code running.

How it works, honestly

Eish Notes links to your WhatsApp as a linked device, the way WhatsApp Web links a laptop. WhatsApp sends every message to every linked device, so our connector receives and decrypts all of your messages. The promise is about what it does next:

Send /data in your Message yourself chat and Eish Notes replies with everything it holds about you.

Why we can't read your messages either

The connector runs in Google Cloud Confidential Space in Johannesburg: a server whose memory the AMD processor encrypts, which runs one exact container image and has no way to log in. Not for us, not for anyone.

What we can't promise

Leaving

Remove Eish Notes under WhatsApp › Linked devices at any time. That cuts us off at once, and your sealed keys and settings are deleted within minutes. /stop pauses transcription without leaving.

A standing bounty

Show that the published code stores anything, or sends anything anywhere, other than a voice note and its transcript, and we'll pay you R10,000, fix it, and publish both.

Wat ons met jou boodskappe doen

Kortliks: ons gebruik jou stemnotas om hulle uit te tik, en niks anders nie. Elke ander boodskap word weggegooi sodra dit inkom. Jy hoef ons nie op ons woord te neem nie: die kode is publiek, en jy kan nagaan dat dit die kode is wat loop.

Hoe dit werk, eerlik gesê

Eish Notes koppel as 'n gekoppelde toestel aan jou WhatsApp, soos WhatsApp Web 'n skootrekenaar koppel. WhatsApp stuur elke boodskap na elke gekoppelde toestel, so ons verbinder ontvang en ontsleutel al jou boodskappe. Die belofte gaan oor wat dit daarna doen:

Hoekom ons ook nie jou boodskappe kan lees nie

Die verbinder loop in Google Cloud Confidential Space in Johannesburg: 'n bediener waarvan die AMD-verwerker die geheue enkripteer, wat een presiese houerbeeld laat loop en waarop niemand kan inteken nie. Nie ons nie, en niemand anders nie.

Wat ons nie kan belowe nie

Uitklim

Verwyder Eish Notes enige tyd onder WhatsApp › Gekoppelde toestelle. Dit sny ons dadelik af, en jou verseëlde sleutels en instellings word binne minute uitgevee. /stop laat transkripsie wag sonder dat jy uitklim.

'n Staande beloning

Wys dat die gepubliseerde kode enigiets stoor, of enigiets enige plek heen stuur, behalwe 'n stemnota en die transkripsie daarvan, en ons betaal jou R10 000, maak dit reg, en publiseer albei.
