No accounts
Your identity is a keypair that never leaves your device. There is nothing to sign up for and no phone number to give out.
-
Pair in person
One phone shows a QR code, the other scans it, and the two finish pairing over Bluetooth. No server is involved, so nobody learns who paired with whom.
-
Double Ratchet
Every message has its own key, giving forward secrecy and break-in recovery.
-
A dumb relay
Messages travel through anonymous mailboxes on a relay that only ever sees padded ciphertext. Delivered messages are deleted from it.
-
Stays on the device
Keys and message history are excluded from iCloud and computer backups.
