“But where does my key actually go?” is the question we get most about Clave. So we wrote a plain-language FAQ.
A preview:
• Is my key on your server? No. Your nsec never leaves your iPhone. Our server just nudges your phone “you’ve got a request” — it can’t read anything or sign as you.
• Why iOS only? Android has Amber; iOS had no equivalent, because Apple’s background rules block the way Amber works. Clave is built around them.
• Should I use my main key? Your call. The honest version’s in the FAQ. The short of it: it’s one app holding your key instead of the dozen you’ve pasted it into.
