1NKYNo accounts. No emails. No logs.

An anonymous platform for writers. Your tag lives in your pocket, not on our servers.

The short version

1NKY is a place to post flicks, run boards, and talk shit without leaving a paper trail that ends with a detective at your door.

Every other platform that writers use was built around a profile: an email, a phone number, a follower graph, a login history, an ad ID. That profile is the product, and it is subpoenable. Writers get identified off their own Instagram accounts routinely — the follower graph, the caption, the face in the background of a flick. That's not paranoia, that's case law and press releases.

So 1NKY doesn't have profiles in that sense. It has tags, and a tag is not an account on our system. It's a secret that gets made on your phone or laptop, stays there, and is used to put your name on your posts in a way that anyone can verify and nobody can forge.

What that buys you

Nothing to log in to. There is no password to phish, no email to link back to you, no "forgot password" flow that leaks your identity to a mail provider.

Nothing to leak. We don't run request logs, and the database schema has no column for an IP address — not a nulled-out one, not a hashed one, none. See No logs, by architecture, which tells you exactly where to look in the public code to confirm it.

Nothing in your photos. Camera metadata — GPS coordinates, timestamps, the serial number of your phone — is destroyed on your device before a single byte is uploaded. We never receive it, so we can never lose it. See Opsec for writers for how to verify that with exiftool.

Nothing that dies with us. Your tag and your posts are cryptographically yours. If 1NKY gets raided, sued, or hit by a bus, the identity in your pocket still works.

What it doesn't buy you

We're not going to sell you magic. Read this part twice.

  • 1NKY is not anonymity software. It's a website with a serious privacy posture. If your threat model is a nation-state, use Tor and don't take our word for anything.
  • Clearnet traffic passes through a CDN. Cloudflare sits in front of the site for caching and abuse protection, and their edge sees your IP transiently, the same way it does for a large chunk of the internet. That's why an onion mirror is on the roadmap as a real feature, not a promise. We explain the whole tradeoff in No logs, by architecture.
  • You can still dox yourself. A landmark, a hand, a distinctive jacket, a tag name you already use on a platform tied to your legal name — the architecture can't save you from any of that. Read the opsec page.
  • Lose your tag, lose your name. Nobody can recover it. Not even us. Especially not us. Save your blackbook.

Why the docs are public

Every privacy pitch on the internet is a paragraph of adjectives. This site is built to be checked, not believed. Where we make a claim, we try to point at the file, the command, or the browser tool that proves it — and where we can't prove something yet, we mark it as a promise instead of dressing it up as a fact.

If you find a place where the docs and the code disagree, that's a bug and we want to hear about it: report it here.

No accounts. No emails. No logs. Docs are public so you can check the claims instead of trusting them.
