Private messaging that keeps working when the network doesn't. VeilMesh is an end-to-end encrypted messenger for teams and people who care about privacy. No phone number, no email — your identity is a cryptographic key that only you hold. HYBRID MESH — MESSAGES WITHOUT INTERNET When the internet is available, VeilMesh uses its secure relay. When it isn't, text messages travel phone to phone over Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, hopping across nearby devices until they reach the recipient. The switch is automatic. Ideal for field teams, events, hiking, travel and emergencies. SECURE TEAM CALLS Encrypted voice and video calls, one-to-one and in groups, with screen sharing. Calls ring like regular phone calls, even when the app is closed. GROUPS AND PRIVATE CHANNELS Group chats with members you approve, and private channels for broadcasting to the people you choose. END-TO-END ENCRYPTION BY DEFAULT Every message, photo, file, voice note and call is encrypted on your device (Double Ratchet for chats, MLS for groups). Our servers only pass encrypted data along and keep it only until it is delivered — your history lives on your devices, not in a cloud. ONE ACCOUNT, ALL YOUR DEVICES Use VeilMesh on iPhone, iPad and Mac with one account and keep conversations in sync. Move to a new iPhone directly from the old one. MADE FOR BIG SCREENS On iPad and on iPhone Duo unfolded, your chat list and conversation sit side by side. PRIVACY CONTROLS Lock individual chats behind a passcode, verify contacts with a safety code, and add people by scanning their Veil ID QR code — no phone numbers shared. VOICE NOTES AND MEDIA Send photos, documents and voice messages, all encrypted end to end. Download VeilMesh and keep your conversations private — online or off the grid.
