About

HopNet is a private messenger with nothing to breach. HopNet lets you exchange end-to-end-encrypted messages, photos, videos, voice messages, and calls — one-to-one or in small private groups — with people you add yourself, so no one, including us, can read your conversations. You're only ever in touch with people you choose. You add a contact by scanning their QR code, in person. HopNet has no random matching, no "chat with strangers" mode, and no public directory — only the people you've added can reach you. Why HopNet is different • No phone number, no email, no account — your identity is a key that lives only on your phone. • End-to-end encryption — the same proven design used by leading secure messengers (X3DH and the Double Ratchet). • Voice & video calls — end-to-end encrypted, and they connect even on restrictive networks. • Photos & voice notes in groups — shared with the same end-to-end encryption as your messages. • Private offline delivery — when your contact is offline, your message waits in an encrypted "blind mailbox" that no one, not even us, can read, and is deleted once delivered. • You're in control — verify contacts with safety numbers, lock the app with Face ID, block or report anyone, and wipe everything instantly. Safety HopNet has zero tolerance for objectionable content and abusive users. You can block or report any contact at any time from the chat menu, and reports are reviewed within 24 hours. How it works 1. Open HopNet — a private identity is created on your device. 2. Scan a friend's QR code (or have them scan yours). 3. Start chatting, privately. HopNet is in active development. We'd love your feedback — Settings, then Send Feedback. Note: when you're connected to a contact, they may see your IP address, as with other direct-connection messengers. Use a VPN if that matters to you.

What's New in HopNet

1.3.5

August 3, 2026

Messages now find their way home. • Fixed a rare case where a chat could go quiet in one direction after a reconnect — your messages sent, theirs never arrived (or the reverse). Several separate causes, all closed. • A photo or video that finished arriving now always shows up in the chat — no more received-but-invisible pictures. • Photos and videos sent while you're both on the same Wi-Fi go straight phone-to-phone, and a transfer that already finished no longer keeps uploading in the background. • The direct connection between two phones now comes back within seconds after you reopen the app, instead of taking a minute. • Declining a call is final — no second ring, and no "missed call" note for a call you deliberately declined. • Contact names now reach the other person even without a direct connection — and restoring from an identity backup keeps your name. • Faster, quieter delivery: fewer redundant network writes and fewer duplicate notifications.
