Mekavo Angel
Before you open the door, ask them to scan the code on your phone. You see who they say they are. What you do next is your decision.

-
🤝 Their name, phone and a live face photo
They type their name, prove their phone by sending one WhatsApp message, and take a live face photo, or say no and you see “Photo declined”. Their face is not compared with anything.
-
🪪 They see yours first
Nobody can ask for someone else’s face without giving their own. They see your name, your proven phone and your live photo before they give anything.
-
🔗 Share with someone you trust
Either of you can send the record to a person you trust from your own WhatsApp. They can only read it. Mekavo sends nothing.
-
🗓️ Kept 30 days, then deleted
Unless one of you reports that something happened; then it is kept for the police. No app or account is needed to answer.
-
⏰ Check on me
If you don’t tap “I’m OK” in time, Mekavo sends this person one email: that you did not confirm, who you met, and the emergency number. Nothing else.
🏢 For businesses whose people meet strangers
Hosts meeting guests, agents showing a flat, tradespeople, carers and cleaners going into homes: each person on your team uses Mekavo Angel on their own phone. The person at the door scans their code, and both see who the other is before the door opens.
- Hosts: see who is arriving before you hand over the keys — and your guest sees it is really you.
- Viewings and home visits: the client sees a real person with a proven phone, and your colleague sees the client.
- Each record belongs to the two people who met, kept 30 days unless one of them reports something.
- Free for every person on your team. No contract, no card.
Meeting someone in New Zealand — before the door, and before the money
NZ Police estimate that New Zealanders lose tens of millions of dollars a year to romance scams, and money sent overseas is rarely recovered. Someone running a scam can build a whole online life, but struggles to stand at your door with a phone they can prove and a face that is really theirs. With Mekavo Angel they scan your code before you open: you see their name, a phone proven by one WhatsApp message and a live photo, and they see yours.
Someone I met online keeps asking for money. Can Mekavo check them?
Mekavo does not check anyone's background. What it can do is ask them, before you meet, for a phone they can prove and a live photo. Someone who never intends to meet you rarely gives either.
Does it record where I am?
No. A handshake keeps the two names, the proven phones and the live photos — not your location — for 30 days, unless one of you reports that something happened.
Can my team use it on home visits?
Yes. Hosts, property managers, tradespeople and support workers use it at the door, each person on their own phone and account, free.
