aura.mode is an any-media identity wallet. You collect the stuff that represents you — playlists, images, maps, doodles, stickers, docs, 3D models, links — and organize it into Modes. A Mode is a slice of your identity built for a specific context. One for your main persona, one for close friends, one for work, one for a game you're into this month.
When you plug a Mode into a platform, that platform can request specific items from it. You choose what's accessible and the connection stays active until you unplug it. The platform never gets a copy of your archive — it borrows what you've approved, and you can cut that off with a single tap.
Modes carry Interactibles — items that do something inside the platforms they're connected to. A voice filter that applies to live chat in a game. A sound pack that becomes your emote set. A weather scene a social app uses as ambient UI. They're pieces of your identity that platforms can activate.
For creators, you can embed hidden traits inside a Mode that fans unlock through conditions — a mutual match between two users, a guessing challenge, an event trigger from the platform itself. Your audience participates in revealing who you are, and the platform becomes the stage for it.
aura.mode has a built-in AI layer that runs entirely on-device with zero retention. It segments photos into sticker packs, pulls text from screenshots, transcribes audio and video, categorizes your items, and generates 2D and 3D assets you can use in your Modes. It's a creative toolkit that helps you build and manage your identity without any of that data leaving your device or being stored anywhere.
Your data stays local. Platforms don't cache it between sessions. An optional presence gate makes items accessible only while you're actively there — useful for live experiences where you want personalization to exist in the moment and nowhere else.
The current paradigm makes you choose between personalization and privacy. aura.mode doesn't.
