TalkRidge

TalkRidge is a secure, zero-knowledge messenger that runs on the edge. Your messages, calls and contacts are end-to-end encrypted and are never visible to the service - the servers act as a blind relay that stores and learns nothing about who you talk to or what you say. TalkRidge does not use your phone number. You are never asked for a phone number or an email address, and nobody can find you by your number. You add contacts by scanning a QR code or through an optional @username that you choose - so you decide who can reach you. Features: - End-to-end encrypted 1:1 and group messages - Encrypted voice and video calls - Photo, video, file and voice-message sharing - Reply, edit, forward and delete-for-everyone - Read receipts you control (off by default) - No phone number or email required - Sealed-sender metadata protection - Hybrid post-quantum encryption No ads. No tracking. Your identity stays on your device.
