## What is KĒPS?

KĒPS™ is Virtual Private Messaging™: end-to-end encrypted messages, photos and calls that delete themselves on the schedule you choose. No account. Nothing stored. No trace — just you and the people you choose.

PRIVACY YOU OWN
No username, email or phone number is needed to download or use KĒPS, and KĒPS never looks in your contact list. There is nothing to sign up for, and nothing to leak.

END-TO-END ENCRYPTED
Messages, photos, GIFs, voice messages, PDFs and calls are encrypted on your device, so only the people in the conversation can open them. The KĒPS Relay™ passes them along without the keys to read them, and keeps none of them.

MESSAGES THAT DELETE THEMSELVES
Choose how long messages, photos, voice messages and PDFs last after they're opened, and when unopened ones expire — from 2 minutes to 24 hours. Your settings travel with every message you send, so your contact's phone deletes your messages on your terms.

CONNECT WITH A PRIVATE LINK
Create a Share Link and send it to the person you want to talk to, any way you like, or swap a 6-digit code when you're together. The contact exists only in KĒPS, and you name it whatever you want, so only you know who you're talking to. Matching verification images let you confirm it's really them.

ENCRYPTED VOICE AND VIDEO CALLS
Call any of your KĒPS contacts by voice or video. Every call is end-to-end encrypted with a fresh key that is thrown away when the call ends. Keep chatting during the call without leaving it.

SHARE WITHOUT GIVING IT AWAY
Photos, GIFs, voice messages and PDFs go only to the person you send them to — never to a cloud album, a streaming host or us. PDFs open in KĒPS's own viewer, and you decide whether your contact can save what you send. Share links, photos and PDFs into KĒPS straight from other apps.
