Built by Engineers, for Engineers
OBSIDIAN iD exists because identity infrastructure should be precise, sovereign, and developer-friendly.
Why OBSIDIAN Exists
Every application needs authentication. Most settle for cookie-cutter solutions that lock you in, hide critical details, and force compromises.
We built OBSIDIAN iD to give developers and enterprises absolute control over their identity infrastructure—without sacrificing speed or security.
No black boxes. No vendor lock-in. No hand-waving about security. Just clean APIs, complete auditability, and engineering precision.
Our Principles
- Transparency over magic
- Security as foundation, not feature
- Developer joy is non-negotiable
- No vendor lock-in, ever
What We Stand For
Privacy
Your data is yours. We don't sell it, mine it, or train models on it. Zero-knowledge architectures available for maximum privacy.
Control
Full control over your auth flows, data location, and security policies. Self-hosting options for air-gapped deployments.
Developer Joy
Type-safe SDKs, comprehensive docs, and APIs that make sense. Building auth should feel elegant, not painful.
Sovereignty
Your identity infrastructure should be sovereign. No dependencies on third-party APIs that can disappear.
