TilliT - Secure Messaging with Optional Autonomous Server TilliT is a secure messaging app designed to provide private communications without relying on a mandatory centralized cloud. Unlike traditional chat apps, TilliT uses a server-based architecture but does not require a single proprietary infrastructure. Communications pass through configurable servers, with the optional ability to install and manage your own dedicated server. This approach provides greater control over the environment, data management, and data protection. Key Features - End-to-end encryption via Signal Protocol - Zero-knowledge server architecture — even your server operator cannot read your messages - Private and secure messaging - Architecture without mandatory centralized cloud infrastructure - Configurable servers - Option to run a dedicated server (self-hosted) - Onion routing support for enhanced network anonymity - Hidden service connectivity — no IP exposure - Reduced dependence on proprietary infrastructures - No commercial profiling A new approach to secure communication Many messaging apps rely on centralized servers that concentrate traffic and data within a single infrastructure. TilliT adopts a more flexible model: you are not tied to a single central server and can choose an architecture that better fits your needs. For organizations, professionals, and security-conscious users, the ability to run their own server provides a higher level of autonomy and data governance. Who it is for - Professionals handling sensitive information - Companies and distributed teams - Organizations seeking greater data control - Privacy-conscious users - Anyone looking for an alternative to centralized chat platforms Privacy and control In a context where personal data is often centralized and analyzed for commercial purposes, TilliT proposes a model designed to reduce dependence on single infrastructures. Security is not only about encryption. It is also about architecture. Download TilliT and discover a different way to communicate securely.
