NoPeek Messenger is a private messenger for teams and organizations, built on one rule: ciphertext to us, plaintext to you. Every message, photo, file, and reaction is end-to-end encrypted on your device using MLS (RFC 9420) before it ever touches a server. We store and route ciphertext we cannot read — not for analytics, not for advertising, not on request. CALLS THAT RING LIKE CALLS Incoming voice and video calls light up your phone's native call screen. The call itself is peer-to-peer WebRTC, encrypted end-to-end — there are no relay servers, period. Your audio and video travel directly between devices; on the rare network where a direct path is impossible, we tell you instead of routing your call through a middleman. We never record calls; we couldn't play them back if we did. YOUR AI, YOUR HARDWARE Add AI bots to your chats — but unlike other platforms, NoPeek bots run on their owner's computer, never on our servers. A bot can decrypt only the groups its owner explicitly grants, and bots are private by default: only authorized senders reach them. Your agent, your hardware, your keys. BUILT FOR ORGS Groups and organizations with real admin controls: manage membership, control who can reach a bot, and switch off saving media to device galleries org-wide. HIPAA-friendly controls for compliance-minded teams — controls, not certifications; bring your own compliance program. SHARE IN, SAFELY NoPeek sits in your phone's share sheet. Photos and files you share in are encrypted on-device before they go anywhere. Saving received media to your gallery happens only when you tap Save, using write-only access — the app can add that photo; it can't browse the rest. NEVER LOGGED OUT Sessions persist across restarts and updates. Lose every device and your history still comes back: recovery is an encrypted key backup that only your email and password can unwrap. We store the blob; we can't open it. FAST AND LOCKED DOWN Recent messages are cached decrypted on your device — and only there — so chats open before the network does. Biometric app lock, privacy screen, and QR device linking: new devices join with a scan, not a password reset. WHAT WE CAN'T SEE Message text. Attachments. Reactions. Call audio and video. Your address book — contact matching happens on your device and nothing is uploaded. Your location — shared only inside encrypted messages, user to user. WHAT WE DO PROCESS Account basics (name, email), routing metadata (who is in which channel, timestamps, delivery markers), and call signaling (who called whom, when, for how long). That's the honest list — the full privacy policy has the details. NoPeek Messenger is not a replacement for your telephone and cannot reach emergency services (911/112).
