RAVEN is a serverless, end to end encrypted messenger. There is no account, no phone number, and no email, your identity is a cryptographic key that is generated on your device and never leaves it. • OFFLINE MESH MESSAGING: No internet? No cellular coverage? No problem. RAVEN routes encrypted messages through nearby devices over Bluetooth mesh — perfect for festivals, crowded events, blackouts, and remote areas. • SERVERLESS BRIDGE: When a peer is online, messages are relayed over an encrypted peer-to-peer internet bridge (libp2p). No central server ever holds your messages. • POST-QUANTUM ENCRYPTION: Every conversation is sealed with hybrid post-quantum cryptography (X25519 + ML-KEM-768) layered over a Signal-class Double Ratchet, with forward secrecy on every message. • NO ACCOUNT, NO METADATA: No sign-up, no contact-graph upload, nothing stored in the cloud. Add contacts by scanning a QR code in person. • ON-DEVICE AI: Smart replies, summaries and translation run entirely on your iPhone. Nothing about your messages leaves the device. • FREE FOREVER: No subscriptions, no ads, no tracking. With no servers to run, there's no bill to pass on to you. ## Pricing and in-app purchases Base price: Free. **Subscriptions** | Subscription | Price | Period | | --- | --- | --- | | Raven+ | $25.99 | per year | | RAVEN+ | $2.99 | per month | **One-time purchases** | Purchase | Price | Type | | --- | --- | --- | | RAVEN+ Lifetime | $149.99 | one-time | ## Version history (last 5 releases) ### 2.1 — 2026-07-22 • Fixed device pairing. Verifying a contact with the 60 digit safety number now works correctly • Strengthened post-quantum pairing. The ML-KEM key exchanged when you pair is now checked against the contact's signed key bundle, so a tampered key is rejected before it is ever used. • Reliability improvements to offline Bluetooth mesh delivery. ### 2 — 2026-06-22 RAVEN 2.0 is a ground up rebuild around one idea: no servers, no account. • No account, ever. Your identity is a key generated on your device — no sign-up, no phone number, no email. • Fully serverless. Messages travel directly over Bluetooth mesh and an encrypted peer-to-peer internet bridge. Nothing lives on a central server. • Post-quantum security (ATSAM: X25519 + ML-KEM-768) layered over a Signal-class Double Ratchet. • Add people by scanning their QR code in person, keys are pinned out-of-band, so there's no one to impersonate them. • Photos, voice notes and files now travel the same serverless paths, online or offline. • Free forever: no subscriptions, no ads, no tracking, no data collection. ### 1.71 — 2026-05-28 • Lightning-fast group chats with mesh-distributed encryption keys • Bridge now relays group messages from BLE-only friends to the cloud • Smarter in-app banners show full chat context at a glance • Liquid Glass refresh across the chat surface • Hardened ATSAM post-quantum sealer for 1:1 and group messages • Faster startup, smoother scrolling, smaller memory footprint ### 1.7 — 2026-05-18 RAVEN 1.7 — ATSAM Protocol & Mesh-to-Internet Gateway This is our biggest release yet. v1.7 ships the production ATSAM security protocol, makes RAVEN the first consumer messenger with post-quantum pairing on Apple’s native CryptoKit, and turns any user with internet into an encrypted bridge for an entire offline neighborhood. NEW • Post-quantum hybrid pairing Every new conversation now negotiates a hybrid key using X25519 + ML-KEM-768 (FIPS 203). Today’s encrypted messages stay safe even if a future quantum computer breaks classical crypto. • Mesh-to-Internet Gateway No internet in your area? A single nearby user with connectivity becomes an encrypted relay for the whole neighborhood. No other major messenger — Signal, Telegram, WhatsApp, Session — does this. • Apple Watch Live Activities Live audio rooms now show up in the Dynamic Island, with one tap to return into the room. Lock-screen banner included. • Shareable post previews on the web Every public post, profile, club, and audio room now unfurls beautifully on iMessage, WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, and Discord. The post itself is viewable on raven-messager.com without leaving your chat. • Private discovery Trusted friends recognize each other over Bluetooth without exposing usernames, phone numbers, or stable IDs. Identifiers rotate per session, so you can’t be tracked across coffee-shop visits. • 3-of-5 social key recovery Forget your passphrase? Recover your account with three trusted contacts. No server-side key escrow, no recovery email. • Sealed-sender hashed identity tokens Every outbound mesh envelope ships a 96-bit HMAC of your userId instead of the raw ID. A rogue relay can no longer correlate users to server accounts. SECURITY HARDENING • Forced plaintext-downgrade defense (only confirmed-legacy peers can authorize a downgrade) • Gateway beacons are Ed25519-signed and TOFU-pinned (kills the gateway-forging attack) • Routing-sinkhole resistance: the recipient-here forward boost is gated on a verified-trust check • Per-session Bonjour displayName rotation; static device fingerprint dropped from discovery info • Strict mesh envelope authentication; rejected sender-ID forging on first sight PERFORMANCE & FIXES • Direct-to-GCS video upload bypasses the 32 MB cap on cellular. Videos up to 95 MB (free) and 2 GB (RAVEN+) now upload reliably. • Live audio rooms: rebuilt join flow, room-locking, role-change token refresh, RAVEN+ stealth tier, and an end-to-end audit closing 11 bugs. • Fixed an “empty notification” regression where toasts containing invisible Unicode rendered blank. • Restored the in-feed Forward button. Bookmark, Forward, and Share now share a unified utility style. • Many small UI fixes across feed, profile, chat, and rooms. The full security stack is open at github.com/Raven-offline-messenger/raven-security. — Built solo in Helsinki / Tehran. Thanks for trusting us with your messages. ### 1.6 — 2026-05-12 What's New in v1.6 • Sealed Sender — recipient-only encryption hides who's talking to whom • OPAQUE PAKE — passwords never leave the device • Encrypted Key Backup — restore your identity on a new phone • Mesh-to-Internet Gateway — online peers help offline friends reach the server • 180 day cross signed identity rotation • Reactions: bigger emojis, real backdrop blur, drag to pick (like iMessage) • Many bug fixes — including the long-press positioning + lag issues ## Related topics [raven connected](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/raven-connected) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
