Hushy vs Yonora

Hushy is a messenger for conversations that should stay between the people in them. You don't sign up with a phone number or email. You pick a name, share a one-time invite, and start talking. Your messages are encrypted on your phone before they leave it, and every connection goes through Tor. Our server passes sealed envelopes along. It can't read them, and it doesn't know who sent them. ROOMS INSIDE EVERY CHAT Give a chat its own rooms, like Trip, Budget or Photos. Each room has a colour, its own unread count and its own messages, so plans don't get buried under memes. Every chat starts with General. GROUP CHATS Start a group with the people you trust. Everyone gets an invitation and joins only if they accept. Group messages are end-to-end encrypted too, and groups get rooms as well. CALLS Voice and video calls, end-to-end encrypted. Calls go through Tor by default, so the person you call never sees your IP address. CHANNELS Post updates to many people at once. Subscribers stay private, even from you. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT - End-to-end encryption on every message, photo, video and voice note - Every connection goes through Tor, so your IP address stays hidden - No phone number, no email, no contact upload - A post-quantum layer (ML-KEM) on top, so messages recorded today stay sealed later - Safety numbers you can compare in person to check nobody is listening MESSAGES THAT DON'T STICK AROUND - Disappearing messages: you choose how long after they're read - View once photos and videos - Screenshots and screen recordings are blocked inside the app - Notifications only say "New message". Never who sent it or what it says YOUR PUBLIC LINK Claim a link like hushy.id/yourname so people can message you from their browser, without installing anything. You choose whether to reply, and you can report or block anyone in one step. MEET PEOPLE THROUGH PEOPLE YOU TRUST Tell your contacts what kind of person you want to meet, like a plumber, a lawyer or a running partner. A friend who knows someone can introduce you, and you only connect if both of you agree. KEEP CHATS TO YOURSELF - Archive chats you don't need right now - Hide chats, groups, channels and notes behind a secret code you type into search - Lock the app with Face ID or a separate PIN - Pin, clear or delete chats with a swipe - Report and block anyone in one step - Delete your account any time from Settings EVERYDAY TOOLS - Edit or recall a message for 5 minutes after sending it - Shared reminders on any message. Each phone keeps its own alarm, so our server never knows - Link previews made on the sender's phone through Tor - Links open in your usual browser, or privately inside Hushy - Up to five profiles on one phone - Private notes, with an optional Face ID lock We read reports of abuse on public links and remove handles that break the rules.

Yonora is a simple messenger for the people who matter to you. Messages, voice notes, photos, video, and free voice and video calls — all in one app. PRIVATE WHEN YOU WANT IT Open any one-to-one chat, tap the lock, and Private mode turns on. From that moment your messages are end-to-end encrypted on your own devices, so only the two of you can read them. Nobody else can — not even us. SPEAK YOUR OWN LANGUAGE Write in the language you think in. Yonora translates messages into the language the other person reads, across a hundred languages. Send a voice note and it can be turned into text, or into another language, so family in different countries can finally talk without stopping to type in English. FREE VOICE AND VIDEO CALLS Clear one-to-one calls and group calls for the whole family or the whole team. Put a call on hold and switch to another one. Calls use your internet connection. EVERYTHING YOU EXPECT FROM A MESSENGER - Groups, with disappearing messages when you want them - Voice messages, photos, videos and large files - Polls, events and live location sharing - Moments — share a picture or a line with your contacts for a day - Write a message now and let it send on the day you choose - Star and save the messages you want to keep - Read receipts, typing, and who is online — all switchable YOU DECIDE WHO SEES WHAT Every privacy switch is in one place. Choose who can see your last seen, your profile picture, your About, your phone number, and who can add you to groups. Lock individual chats behind your passcode. Turn on screenshot protection and, where your iPhone allows it, screenshots and screen recordings of Yonora come out black; if a screenshot is taken while protection is off, you are told in the chat. FIND ME WITHOUT MY NUMBER Set a public @username or share your QR code, and people can reach you without ever knowing your phone number. YONORA AI, BUILT IN Ask Yonora anything. Summarise a long chat in one line. Rewrite a message before you send it so it says what you meant. Get a suggested reply and answer in one tap. Reply automatically while you are busy. AI answers can be wrong, and there is a Report button on every one of them. SAFE AND RESPECTFUL Block anyone, in one tap — they cannot message you, call you, or see when you are online. Report a message or an account and a real person reviews it. You can delete your account, and everything in it, from inside the app at any time. WORKS WHERE YOU DO Yonora also runs in your browser, so the same conversations follow you from your phone to your computer. Yonora is made by Yonora LLC in Maryland, USA.
