## What is Retro Messenger Chat?

Retro Messenger is a minimalist chat app for iPhone. No emojis, stickers, GIFs, or media; just text, a retro terminal look, and end-to-end encryption.

MESSAGE BY USERNAME
Find someone by username and send a message request with a short intro note. They choose to accept or decline before you can chat.

TEXT ONLY, BY DESIGN
Plain text conversations with a calm green-on-black interface. One-to-one and group chats (up to 20 people).

ENCRYPTION
Message bodies are encrypted on your device before they leave it. Only conversation participants with the right keys can read them.

PRIVACY & CONTROL
• Sign in with email, Google, or Apple
• Block users and report concerns to support
• Mute notifications per chat
• Export a conversation
• Delete your account in-app

ALSO INCLUDED
Read receipts, typing indicators, inbox search, friends list, username share + QR, optional recovery passphrase for new devices, and push alerts for messages and requests.

Retro Messenger is made by One and Three.
