Most messaging apps are built to reach anyone. Kibu is built for the people you trust most. Kibu is a private, end-to-end encrypted space for your closest relationships. Group chats, direct messages, and calling, shared only with the people who belong there. HUMANS ONLY No bots, no spam, no ads, no strangers. Kibu is invite-only, and every member is a real person. With Kibu, you always know exactly who you're talking to. PRIVATE, SECURE CHAT Your group chats, direct messages, and calls are all end-to-end encrypted, from messages to files and everything in between. Only the people in the conversation can see what's shared. FULL TRANSPARENCY Nothing leaves a chat quietly. Screenshots, copied text, and exported files all notify the chat, so nothing gets shared without everyone knowing. GROUPS, GOVERNED TOGETHER In group chats, changes happen together, not by any one person alone. Important actions like adding members and changing settings go to a vote. • Assign Admin and Member roles to match how your group works • Require a majority, unanimous, or a set number of approvals • Invite people already on Kibu, or bring people in by link or QR code SECURE BY DESIGN • Your account lives on your device, not behind a username, password, or phone number. • Only you can get in. Your account unlocks with your face, on your device, and nowhere else • Per-chat notification controls keep sensitive conversations off your lock screen. Kibu is invite-only — you'll need an invitation or an organization to get started. Questions or feedback? We'd love to hear from you. contact@kibu.us
