Hito
Human approval for
an automated world
We’re building technology that keeps your keys, your data, and your decisions in your hands as software takes on more of the work.
Delegate the work
Keep the authority
AI agents can do more for us every day. But giving software a job shouldn’t mean giving it every key, every file, and every decision.
Hito is building a way to separate the two: software does the work, while people decide what it can use.
A boundary between asking and acting
We’re building one approval model for keys, private data, and sensitive actions. It starts with a decision on a device you control.
-
A specific request
An app, teammate, or AI agent asks to perform an action or use specific data.
-
Your decision
You review who is asking and what they need, then approve or reject on your own device.
-
Only what you allow
A signed result or the data you approved goes back. Your signing keys stay with you.
Our product
HoldKey
Ship with AI.
Keep control.
HoldKey brings this idea to your phone: a secure place for keys and private data, separate from the tools that ask to use them.
Our working prototype starts with SSH and Git/GitHub on Mac, with approval on iPhone. We’re preparing for external tests.
