## What is Tysha?

Tysha is a messenger that starts with a name you invented, not with your phone number.

NO NUMBER, NO EMAIL, NO PASSWORD
An account is a username plus 12 words generated on this iPhone. We never see them and store them nowhere. The other side of that, plainly: lose the words and nobody can restore the account, us included.

INTRODUCTIONS BY A ONE-TIME CODE
Contacts come only from invitations. The app never reads your address book, there is no people search, and nobody can find you by number - there is nothing to search by. A code stops working once used, or after 15 minutes.

ENCRYPTED ON THE DEVICES
Messages and calls are encrypted on the phones themselves: libsignal, PQXDH key agreement (X25519 + ML-KEM-1024), Double Ratchet. Keys are created on the phone and never leave it.

WHAT THE SERVER GETS
A sealed envelope: bytes, size, time and a queue address - a one-way hash of the username that cannot be turned back into a name. It never sees text, files, the sound of a call or an address book. No ads, no third-party analytics, no profiling.

WHAT IS INSIDE
- disappearing messages, from 30 seconds to four weeks
- view once for photos and video
- delete for both sides, not just your own copy
- voice messages, files up to 8 MB, reactions, replies, edits
- voice and video calls, relayed by default so the other side never sees your IP address
- small groups with sender keys
- a Face ID lock and a wipe after too many wrong codes
- your own ringtone, 12- or 24-hour clock, Ukrainian and English

WHAT IT COSTS
Free: no ads, no in-app purchases, no subscriptions. There are no paid features.

WHAT WE DO NOT PROMISE
The lock protects the screens; it does not re-encrypt the store. A screenshot notice cannot stop someone photographing the screen. Disappearing messages cannot stop someone copying the text first. Each of these limits is stated inside the app itself.
