By leveraging WebRTC for direct browser-to-browser communication, it eliminates the middleman entirely. Users simply share a unique URL to establish an encrypted, private channel. This approach effectively bypasses corporate data harvesting and provides a lightweight, disposable communication method for those prioritizing digital sovereignty.

Features include:

  • P2P
  • End to end encryption
  • Forward secrecy
  • Multimedia
  • File transfer
  • Video calls
  • No registration
  • No installation
  • No database

*** The project is experimental and far from finished. It's presented for testing, feedback and demo purposes only (USE RESPONSIBLY!). ***

This project isnt finished enough to compare to simplex, briar, signal, etc... This is intended to introduce a new paradigm in client-side managed secure cryptography. Allowing users to send securely encrypted messages; no cloud, no trace.
