Read full descriptionHide full description
NexoTalk is a private messenger built from the ground up to protect your conversations. No phone numbers, no user IDs, no tracking - just you and the people you trust. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Every message is end-to-end encrypted using the double ratchet algorithm with post-quantum key exchange. NexoTalk doesn't create user accounts or collect personal identifiers. Your data stays on your device in an encrypted local database - never in the cloud. YOU'RE IN CONTROL Connect with others through one-time invitation links instead of sharing phone numbers or email addresses. There's nothing to leak because there's nothing to collect. FULL-FEATURED MESSAGING • Messages & Groups - Rich text, images, and group conversations, all end-to-end encrypted • Voice & Video Calls - Encrypted calls with peer-to-peer connections when possible • Encrypted File Transfer - Share files of any size through encrypted relays • Disappearing Messages - Set messages to auto-delete after a chosen interval • Multiple Profiles - Keep separate identities for work, personal, and communities • Custom Themes - Personalize your experience with color themes and chat wallpapers SECURE & RELIABLE Powered by redundant message relay servers with no single point of failure. Relay servers never store messages after delivery and don't log any data. Files are encrypted before leaving your device and transferred through disposable relay addresses. NexoTalk uses a private encrypted background connection instead of Apple Push Notifications, so even notification stays private. NO DATA COLLECTION NexoTalk does not collect, store, or share any personal data. There are no third-party analytics, advertising, or tracking services. Your conversations belong to you. Download NexoTalk and start messaging on your terms.
