Veil is an end-to-end encrypted messenger designed for people who value privacy. No phone number required. No email required. Just create an identity and start messaging. REAL ENCRYPTION, NOT THEATER Every message is encrypted with the Double Ratchet protocol before it leaves your device. Voidly cannot read your messages. We store only encrypted ciphertext that is mathematically unreadable without your private key. KEY FEATURES: End-to-End Encrypted Messaging Send text messages, voice notes, and images with military-grade encryption. Each message uses a unique key derived from the Double Ratchet, providing forward secrecy. Voice & Video Calls Make encrypted voice and video calls over WebRTC. Call signaling is routed through the encrypted relay. Encrypted Group Channels Create or join group channels with NaCl secretbox encryption. Share information securely with your community. No Phone Number Required Your identity is a cryptographic keypair generated on your device. No personal information needed. Share your identity via QR code or invite link. Disappearing Messages Set messages to auto-delete after 5 minutes, 1 hour, 24 hours, or 7 days. Identity Backup & Recovery Export your cryptographic identity as a JSON file. Import it on another device to access your encrypted messages. PRIVACY BY DESIGN: - Zero-knowledge relay (server stores only ciphertext) - No tracking, no analytics, no ads - No cookies, no fingerprinting - DID-based identity (no personal data) Built by Ai Analytics LLC.
