Hushy is a messenger for conversations that should stay between the people in them.
You don't sign up with a phone number or email. You pick a name, share a one-time invite, and start talking. Your messages are encrypted on your phone before they leave it, and every connection goes through Tor. Our server passes sealed envelopes along. It can't read them, and it doesn't know who sent them.
ROOMS INSIDE EVERY CHAT
Give a chat its own rooms, like Trip, Budget or Photos. Each room has a colour, its own unread count and its own messages, so plans don't get buried under memes. Every chat starts with General.
GROUP CHATS
Start a group with the people you trust. Everyone gets an invitation and joins only if they accept. Group messages are end-to-end encrypted too, and groups get rooms as well.
CALLS
Voice and video calls, end-to-end encrypted. Calls go through Tor by default, so the person you call never sees your IP address.
CHANNELS
Post updates to many people at once. Subscribers stay anonymous, even to you.
PRIVATE BY DEFAULT
- End-to-end encryption on every message, photo, video and voice note
- Every connection goes through Tor, so your IP address stays hidden
- No phone number, no email, no contact upload
- A post-quantum layer (ML-KEM) on top, so messages recorded today stay sealed later
- Safety numbers you can compare in person to check nobody is listening
MESSAGES THAT DON'T STICK AROUND
- Disappearing messages: you choose how long after they're read
- View once photos and videos
- Screenshots and screen recordings are blocked inside the app
- Notifications only say "New message". Never who sent it or what it says
YOUR ANONYMOUS LINK
Claim a link like hushy.id/yourname. Anyone can send you an anonymous message from their browser, without installing anything. You can reply privately, and they still don't learn who you are.
MEET PEOPLE THROUGH PEOPLE YOU TRUST
Tell your contacts what kind of person you want to meet, like a plumber, a lawyer or a running partner. A friend who knows someone can introduce you, and you only connect if both of you agree.
KEEP CHATS TO YOURSELF
- Archive chats you don't need right now
- Hide chats, groups, channels and notes behind a secret code you type into search
- Lock the app with Face ID or a separate PIN
- Pin, clear or delete chats with a swipe
- Report and block anonymous senders in one step
- Delete your account any time from Settings
EVERYDAY TOOLS
- Edit or recall a message for 5 minutes after sending it
- Shared reminders on any message. Each phone keeps its own alarm, so our server never knows
- Link previews made on the sender's phone through Tor
- Open links in Hushy Browser through Tor, or in your usual browser
- Up to five profiles on one phone
- Private notes, with an optional Face ID lock
We read reports of abuse on anonymous links and remove handles that break the rules.
