Gluline Messenger

Gluline is a messenger for people who want to know exactly who can read what. MESSAGES, CALLS, FILES • One-to-one and group chats with photos, videos, voice messages and files • Voice and video calls, one to one or with a group • Channels for broadcasting to an audience • Saved Messages for notes to yourself • Folders, pinned chats, drafts, scheduled messages and reminders AN ASSISTANT YOU SWITCH ON YOURSELF The AI assistant is off until you turn it on. While it is off, your chats are not passed to it. Every contact screen carries a card that states plainly whether the assistant can read that conversation, and you can switch it off for a single chat without switching it off everywhere. WHAT IS ENCRYPTED, STATED PLAINLY Chat content is encrypted on your device with a per-chat key, stored on our servers only as copies wrapped to each member's public key. While the assistant is switched off in a chat, we hold no key that opens it. We do not claim forward secrecy or post-compromise security for this scheme. One-to-one calls are encrypted between the two devices. Group calls are routed through our media server, which decrypts them in order to forward them, and are therefore not end-to-end encrypted — we would rather say so than imply otherwise. YOURS TO LEAVE Delete your account from inside the app. Block or report any user or message. Chat and channel admins moderate their own spaces.
