SimpleX – the first messaging platform that has no user identifiers, not even random numbers!
Security assessment was done by Trail of Bits in November 2022.
SimpleX Chat features:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

end-to-end encrypted messages, with editing, replies and deletion of messages.\n\nsending end-to-end encrypted images and files.\n\nsingle-use and long-term user addresses.\n\nsecret chat groups - only group members know it exists and who is the member.\n\nend-to-end encrypted audio and video calls.\n\nprivate instant notifications.\n\nportable chat profile - you can transfer your chat contacts and history to another device (terminal or mobile).<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
SimpleX Chat advantages:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Full privacy of your identity, profile, contacts and metadata: unlike any other existing messaging platform, SimpleX uses no phone numbers or any other identifiers assigned to the users - not even random numbers. This protects the privacy of who you are communicating with, hiding it from SimpleX platform servers and from any observers.\n\nComplete protection against spam and abuse: as you have no identifier on SimpleX platform, you cannot be contacted unless you share a one-time invitation link or an optional temporary user address.\n\nFull ownership, control and security of your data: SimpleX stores all user data on client devices, the messages are only held temporarily on SimpleX relay servers until they are received.\n\nDecentralized network: you can use SimpleX with your own servers and still communicate with people using the servers that are pre-configured in the apps or any other SimpleX servers.<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
You can connect to anybody you know via link or scan QR code (in the video call or in person) and start sending messages instantly – no emails, phone numbers or passwords needed.
Your profile and contacts are only stored in the app on your device – our servers do not have access to this information.
All messages are end-to-end encrypted using open-source double-ratchet protocol; the messages are routed via our servers using open-source SimpleX Messaging Protocol.
Please send us any questions via the app (connect to the team via settings!), email us or submit an issue on GitHub.
