One identity layer for what matters
People, pets, vehicles, belongings, products and businesses. OneID gives each of them a record, a way to be recognised, and an owner who decides what anybody else gets to see.
The problem
Everything you own is anonymous the moment you are not standing next to it
A dog with no collar tag is a dog nobody can return. A laptop left in a taxi is somebody else’s problem to solve and usually nobody does. A van in a yard is a registration number that means nothing to the person looking at it.
The usual answer is to write a phone number on the thing. That works, and it publishes your phone number to everyone who ever sees it — including whoever took it.
The other answer is a separate app per category: one for pets, one for keys, one for luggage. Each with its own account, its own subscription, and its own idea of what a “thing” is.
The approach
One engine, configured differently
A pet tag and a fleet vehicle are the same record with different rules — not two products that happen to share a logo.
An identity is an identity
The same lifecycle, the same ownership model and the same interaction rules apply whether the thing has four legs or four wheels. What changes is the configuration: which fields exist, which actions a stranger may take.
The owner decides, field by field
Nothing is public because it exists. Every field is shown or withheld by the person who owns the record, and what is withheld is never sent to the page a stranger opens — not hidden there.
The finder needs nothing
No app, no account, no sign-up. Somebody helping a stranger will do it if it takes ten seconds and will not do it if it takes an install. That constraint shaped most of the architecture.
Privacy
Built so that we hold as little as possible
The privacy properties are structural rather than promised. A finder’s shared location is blurred before it is stored and expires on its own schedule. A conversation between a finder and an owner is temporary and closes. Contact details are masked in every list, for every member of staff, whatever their permissions.
Support access to anything genuinely sensitive — medical details on an emergency profile, a precise position, what two people said to each other — needs a separate permission granted to a named person, and every use of it is recorded.
None of that is generosity. It is the only design where a mistake by us is not a disaster for somebody else.
Where this goes
What we are building towards
The near-term range is scannable: tags for vehicles, pets, luggage, keys and electronics, emergency identification, and digital cards for people and teams.
Beyond that, the same engine already models organizations, fleets and product passports — a manufacturer issuing a record that travels with the object through every owner it has. Tracking hardware is in development and is labelled as such everywhere it appears on this site.
The company
OneID is built by Algorithmica Consultancy Services PVT LTD.
This is a product in development
The name and domain are not final, nothing on this site is a contractual commitment, and features marked as in development are not available yet. Where something is not ready, it says so.
