Intimate videos are one of the more titillating aspects of romance in the technological era, and the Rumuki app aims to make the process of sensual sharing a more safe and secure one.

While one's [private videos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/memory) can sometimes be prone to security breaches, Rumuki uses an [intricate encryption system](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kinds-security) to prevent those videos from ever getting shared beyond the intended recipient.

Rumuki lets users pair up their devices and record a video that gets stored on both of them. It then encrypts these videos and provides each device with a unique key. In order for either device to play back the video, they need to send a request to the other in order to get the key, and each request enables just a [single playback](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kisstouch). Either user also has the option to delete the video from both devices at any time.
