Features

Built for privacy,
designed for humans.

X3DH + Double Ratchet

Every conversation starts with ephemeral key exchange, then ratchets forward. Forward secrecy, always.

Self-Destructing

Set a TTL on any message. After reading, it vanishes from both devices. No trace, no logs.

Mesh Networking

Wi-Fi Aware + Bluetooth for direct peer discovery. Works offline โ€” festivals, protests, wilderness.

Duress PIN

A second PIN that silently wipes all data under coercion. Plausible deniability built in.

Tor via Orbot

Route all relay traffic through Tor. IP obfuscation, no metadata leaks. Enable SOCKS5 in settings.

Biometric + PIN

Keys sealed behind 6+ digit PIN. Optional biometric. Weekly re-auth so you never forget.

Cryptography

How the snake bites.

01

Identity Generation

Ed25519 signing + X25519 DH keypairs created locally. Private keys never touch the network.

02

X3DH Key Agreement

Prekeys, signed prekeys, and ephemeral keys via QR scan. Shared secret derived offline.

03

Double Ratchet

Every message advances a new key. Even if one is broken, past and future stay sealed.

04

Encrypted Relay

AES-GCM-256 with unique IVs. Relay sees only noise. Zero plaintext metadata.
