Your keys are encrypted. You are not.

A hardware wallet does nothing when the attacker is in the room and you can open it yourself. Our physical security trainer explains why self-custody needs a second layer: if you can move everything on demand, so can anyone who takes you.

Multisig, and keys you cannot all reach at once, remove the single moment they are counting on.

This is a clip from our personal security webinar for exposed individuals. Full session coming up on Youtube next week.

Most location and safety apps keep you safe by watching you.

They log where you go and sell the pattern.

Gart was built as a safety app that protects you by knowing nothing about you: no account, no tracking, no company that can be made to hand over what it never held.




@alenasatoshi and the team explain why the whole category is a surveillance problem, and how a truly private alert actually works.

The full session is up on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rmUPK4kErwk

There is a way to pull your location and account data from a company like Apple or Meta without a warrant.

It isn't a hack of their systems.
It's a forged police email.

It's called an EDR or emergency data request.
Providers are built to answer them fast, no warrant, because the claim is "a life at risk".

You cannot patch a legal process. Which is why an app that stores your movements is a liability, however much you trust the company holding them.



Gart keeps you safe by knowing nothing about you.
By design.

When your home address leaks, what is your plan?

We have seen it over and over. Someone breaks into a third party that holds the order data and walks away with the link between who owns Bitcoin and where they live.

Assume your data is already out there. Then make deliberate choices about the safety of your home and your family.

Educate yourself in situational awareness, home security, travel habits, and the response protocols worth having ready before you need them.

At the Gart workshop we go through these protocols and shape them around your situation, with a trainer who's also a bitcoiner and a family man himself, and knows what is at stake.

Join us for the next one in Lugano on October 21.

So I think the issue is now that it's the permissions the app is asking for? You can't even test the app without all the permissions.
Gart profile picture
Unfortunately, the app needs all these permissions. Otherwise, it wouldn't fetch your location, show incoming alerts, etc...

It wouldn't make sense to start asking for them in a situation where you just want to trigger the alert button.

The permissions are a one time thing. Set them at login, then go to Settings > Alert settings and allow the two more you see there, and you're good to go.

If you need any advice on the use, let us know. Or try our user manual: https://gart.io/user-manual

We recorded a webinar yesterday about it. It goes into detail about all the design decisions. We'll be sharing the recording soon.

When amber support in the app
Gart profile picture
Good news, we already support signing in with a signer like Amber.


We also built it so you're not stuck approving every signature at exactly the wrong moment. Gart uses a small separate identity for in-app actions, signing them in the background, so your real key stays put in Amber and nothing slows you down.

Give it a try and let me know if Amber connects well for you.

Exposure comes from what you broadcast and what leaks about you.

You control the first, but not the second.



In 2025, a French tax officer was caught selling crypto holders' home addresses and capital gains to criminal gangs. We don't know how long the data had been moving before she was caught, and crews can plan for days to months before acting.

Over that same window, the France case reports we found went from roughly one a year between 2017 and 2024, to 21 in total for 2025.

Comparing January to June only, France went from 10 cases in 2025 to 31 in 2026. A 210% jump.

Assume you're already on a list and build the habits that make you harder to reach regardless.

A wrench attack runs on one assumption: that one person, under enough pressure, can move everything.

Multisig takes that apart.

No single signer can send the funds, so no single person can be forced to. A time-locked key cannot sign yet, so there is nothing in it to take today.

None of this makes you less of a target, but it removes the single point they can break.

On July 29, we walk through building custody with no single point of coercion.

Multisig is just a speed bump for the likes of Rosenstein and Comey, they'll find a way to strongarm signers.

A Russian restaurant owner in Uluwatu, Bali was taken on the night of July 2 as he rode home from his own restaurant.

Two masked men blocked his motorcycle, cuffed him with plastic restraints, covered his head, and drove him to a two-story building.

He was punched and kicked for close to 30 hours until he gave up the password to his crypto account.

The stop happened at a junction on that route, around 9:35 PM, on a deserted stretch with almost no camera coverage.



They took his Xiaomi phone at the roadside. His villa key was sitting on the motorcycle's dashboard, so they used it to walk into his villa and take a second phone, the one he used to reach his crypto funds.

No arrests so far.

An estimated $4.9M to $5M was taken. They let him out in front of Udayana University Hospital in Jimbaran at 4 AM on July 4.
