One app, fewer compromises

Everything you expect from a modern messenger.

Useful communication tools stay close at hand, while advanced controls stay out of the way until you need them.

01

Voice and video calls

One-to-one WebRTC calls with camera switching, microphone controls, and a self-hosted TURN relay for difficult networks.

Make it yours

System, light, and dark themes with four quiet chat backgrounds, responsive from phone to desktop.

Clear privacy, no magic words

Private by design. Honest about the limits.

Messenger protects supported chat content and media with Matrix end-to-end encryption. It does not claim complete anonymity: the server and network can still observe metadata such as IP addresses, connection times, and room membership.

01

Encrypted content

Messages, photos, files, and encryption keys are handled by the Matrix E2EE stack.

02

Local app lock

Use fingerprint or Face ID for quick access, with an optional PIN fallback on the device.

03

Metadata awareness

The interface explains what encryption does — and what it cannot hide — instead of promising “total anonymity.”

04

No silent installs

The app only notifies you about releases. You decide when to open the download page and install an APK.

Good to know

Before you install.

How do I create an account?

Choose “Registration” in the app, then pick your name, username, and password. No invitation, email address, or phone number is required. If a friend sent an invitation, you can add it optionally to connect with them immediately.

Is Messenger completely anonymous?

No. End-to-end encryption can protect message content, but the server and network still process metadata such as IP addresses and connection times.

Does it update automatically?

The app checks for new releases and shows an update button. It downloads and verifies the signed APK inside the app; Android then asks you to confirm installation. Silent installation is intentionally not used.

Do I need Google Play or Android Studio?

No. The APK installs directly on Android. Android Studio is only a development tool and is not required on your phone.

Is it free?

The application and initial self-hosted setup have no subscription. Your own internet, hardware, and future infrastructure costs remain separate.
