guides

sharing a picture of yourself and keeping control of it are two different problems, and most advice online only covers the first. these are plain, practical notes on the second — written for people who have decided to share something and want to do it carefully.

no scare stories and no absolutes. where something can't be fixed, it says so.

• sharing intimate photos safely

  the practical checklist, start to finish.

• how to remove exif and gps data from your photos

  exif, gps coordinates, and how to strip them.

• reverse image search: how people get found from a photo

  reverse image search, and what actually defeats it.

• what "delete" actually does

  deleted, hidden, archived — they are not the same.

• screenshots, and the limits of "no save"

  an honest account of what screenshot protection can do.

• an account without an email address

  passkeys, handles, and doing without an email address.

why we wrote these

sissy-haven is built on the idea that sharing yourself shouldn't mean sharing with everyone, forever. most of the above is the reasoning behind how the app works — how matching works covers the mechanics, and the demo lets you try them.

if that is the part you came for, you can make an account — a handle and a passkey, no email address.
