Skred is the first secure peer-to-peer instant messaging app - No need for an email address or phone number to use it. Skred is free, without subscription, without a provider, without a SIM card, and without leaving a trace. Skred is developed based on privacy-by-design and leverages the highest levels of authorization encryption. Skred enables a private, unique and secure connection with each of your contacts. Only the two participants in a call can communicate with each other excluding anyone else. With an interface that is easy to use without impacting the learning experience, Skred enables easy exchange of messages, images, videos, voice calls and video calls. The SkredBoard, which is accessible by simply swiping down, allows for generating many identities that are separated from each other for absolute confidentiality. You can also use groups to exchange with several friends at once. When you delete a message on Skred, it also disappears from the mobile phone of your caller. All exchanges are encrypted from start to finish, from mobile to mobile. They are not stored on any server. The encryption technologies are open source and based on the work of hackers and hacktivists of the Guardian Project. Skred originated from the Skyrock Group, which in turn came from the free radio movement in France. It defends freedom of expression on the air and on the internet. With Skred, you are free!

Didn't expect this to be so great! Slick app. Fast. Mostly intuitive. Loads of useful features. Great video calling, including internationally. Lots of useful privacy-centered features. French engineering FTW! (I'm confused about the link to Twin.me and the icon for this app is really unattractive) ### 5/5 — Great! But! *2026-04-19* Overall SKRED is a great app love everything except four things when I exit out of the call there should be a box of the call on your screen. Music sharing should be standard though i think it’s exceptional Group calls should definitely be free Screen sharing should be a thing Overall I love this app and the privacy!!! ### 3/5 — How to log back in? *2026-01-14* I can’t log back in to my account I wanna call my friends now ### 3/5 — Try and update this please *2025-12-26* Sometimes about 10% of the time it sends only shows the other persons messages after we send a different message ### 4/5 — Love *2025-12-21, version 21.7* I love this app it’s so nice I like it and it has like no danger and it’s for kids and adults but I hate how that we need to pay for group calls🥲 ### 3/5 — Good app but.. *2025-12-14, version 21.6* This is a very good app but unlike most apps you have to pay for a group call I think that’s not fair because I think that should be a common feature in calling /chatting apps but the app is good . Second thing is that the app doesn’t seem to have a delete contact or block contact option so I can’t remove my ex friends and stuff. Everything is so good and nice but I have one request please atoeast try to fix these things and make skred more simple as I find it hard trying to find specific buttons and stuff <3 ### 5/5 — Incroyable *2025-12-14, version 21.6* Je discute avec mes amis autant que je veux juste les appels de groupe c’est pas gratuit et ça ce n’est pas ouf mais sinon j’aimerais que vous rajouter les Story comme sur Snap Instagram et tout merci j’ai adoré votre rappel, je vous le conseille fortement ### 1/5 — Fix *2025-12-11* Why is it hard for me add new friends that I referred skred app too she send me the link but I can’t add her what’s going ### 5/5 — Skred *2025-12-08, version 21.6* So my cousin told me about this app and I downloaded it on my iPad since my phone has low storage and this really helped me connect with her since she lives far from me so I give this app 5 stars ## Frequently asked questions about Skred Messenger ### What is Skred Messenger?
