We've got increasingly worried about giving away my personal phone number for all the online services out there. These services often handle phone numbers carelessly or they willingly misuse this information for other purposes (like building social graphs).
In addition, when your personal phone number inevitably leaks, fraudsters often use this information to hijack sms messages and take over your online accounts.
So, we created Senu. Senu provides you secure, private phone numbers you can use for your online accounts. Incoming text messages arrive to your phone in the form of secure push notifications. You keep your personal number safe. Also, as an added convenience feature, authentication codes are automatically recognized in incoming messages, and are offered in the UI for copy and paste.
Senu does not require your real email address or phone number to sign up. Install the app, start it and that's it: your phone is the key to your account. This way your Senu account is not tied to your email/personal number, meaning even if those get compromised, attackers cannot take over your Senu numbers.
