Currently, you can use your atSign with apps that have been developed on the atPlatform. In fact, your atSign replaces the traditional username/password setup; instead of having to remember multiple usernames and passwords, you only need one atSign to engage with atPlatform apps.

To get started, activate your atSign by pairing it with any atPlatform app. (Find the full list here.) Once activated, your atSign will work with all existing and yet-to-be-released atPlatform apps.

Anyone who looks up your atSign can only view the information that you’ve made public through atWavi, an app that lets you set up and customize your public profile. You’ll have the freedom to adjust it as needed, and those changes will be viewable in a matter of seconds.

We believe that everyone has a right to privacy, which is why we offer free, random(ish) atSigns with our atSign generator.

If you want to secure a more custom atSign, they are available for between $10 and $5,000 (or even more!), depending on your desired level of customization.

For example, multiple words (i.e. your first name and last name) will cost $100, single words will be $1,000 (because there are so few of these), and atSigns with three characters will cost $5,000. Of course, you cannot buy a trademarked name, since the rights belong to the owner of that trademark. And yes, you can customize with emojis!

Yes! To sell or transfer your atSign to someone else, please email us.

If you have a free atSign, you don’t need to worry about a thing.

If you have a paid atSign, you’ll need to renew it for $10 each year. (We don’t store payment details, so we’ll let you know when it’s time to renew your atSign.) Instead of letting an atSign sit and collect dust, we want atSigns not currently in use to be made available to others.

We expect that many of your current apps will transition over time, as more of their customers transition to the atPlatform and away from applications that store their data.

atSigns must be activated before use. You’ll only need to do this one time. Here’s how:

• Download an atSign compatible app. You’ll find those here.
• Launch the app and follow the directions.
• Be sure to save your atSign’s key somewhere secure. (See “Where should I save my key?” below for tips.)

When you download additional apps to use with your atSign, you will skip the activation process and simply upload your key to sign into the app.

Each atSign has a unique key that is used to verify whether you are the atSign’s rightful owner. After first activating an atSign, be sure to save its corresponding key in a secure location. You’ll need it to sign back into the app or use other apps on the atPlatform.

We recommend saving your key in a secure location on your device, such as Google Drive or your iCloud files. 

For iOS: After pressing “Save”, a screen with different save options will appear. To save your key to your iCloud files, scroll down and select “Save to Files”. Next, select “iCloud Drive” and press “Save”. You can also save your key to a different location of your choice — but make sure it’s somewhere secure!

For Android: After pressing “Save”, a screen with different save options will appear. To save your key to your Google Drive, select “Save to Drive”. You will be given the option to change the document title but we recommend that you keep it as it is. Make sure the account selected is correct. To choose a specific folder in your drive, press “My Drive” under Folder, choose your preferred folder and then press select. Next, press “Save”.

By default, your saved key should be named in the following format: @[YOURATSIGN]_key.atKeys. You can rename, move, or make copies of your keys.

For iOS: Open the Files app on your phone to access your iCloud files. (If you don’t know where your Files app is, swipe left on your phone and search for “Files”.) In the Files app search bar, type in your atSign to find your key.

For Android: Open the Drive app on your phone. (If you don’t know where your Drive app is, swipe down on your phone and search for “Drive”.) In the Drive app search bar, type in your atSign to find your key. If you renamed your key, type in the new key name instead.

You’ll have total privacy and utmost control over your data while using an atApp. No one will ever spy on you or misuse your information. Since atApps use your atSign as a proxy for your digital identity, you won’t ever have to create a new username or password while using an atApp.

Glad you asked! Many of our atApps can be used in a business context as well. For example, you can set up a page for your business with atWavi or use atmospherePro to transfer files from one business account to another.

When you first get your atSign, you’ll see a checkbox that gives us permission to notify you when we have new apps. Please make sure that box is checked if you want updates.
