No sign-up. Just a connection.

No email, phone number or password. Add someone by scanning their code or opening their link. Your address book stays yours.

No activity logs. By design.

We do not keep a history of your connections, calls or IP addresses. We do not track your activity or build a profile of you.

Your history stays with you.

Your conversations are stored on your phones, not on our servers. If you want a backup, the app can keep one in your own Google Drive, encrypted on your phone before it leaves.

Private, even while waiting.

If the other phone is offline, an optional mailbox holds your message end-to-end encrypted. It is deleted when picked up, or after 7 days at the latest. We cannot read it.

Everyday conversations. Less to give away.

Send a message, share a file or hear a familiar voice. Talk one to one, or start a circle: a small, closed group of your contacts, up to 32 members.

Messages travel directly between phones when possible. Encrypted relays help when a direct connection is unavailable. Files and calls are never stored in the offline mailbox.

Files and calls are one to one; circles are for text messages only. Our server keeps no record of circles: a message in a circle reaches each member as its own end-to-end encrypted copy, like a one-to-one message.

Tools and games. Kept separate.

Make a picture smaller. Cover a face or a number. Scan a document, sign a PDF or split expenses. Play chess, checkers or a word game with a contact.

17 tools and 13 games are in the Apps tab: install only the ones you want. Each one runs in isolation and gets only what you allow it, never your chat history, your contacts or your keys.

Privacy includes what we choose not to keep.

We keep only the technical information needed to recognise your device, help your contacts reach you and deliver pending messages. We do not ask for your real-world identity or keep activity logs.

No advertising. No analytics of our own. No tracking profiles.
