NexoTalk

Read 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.

QSafeChat

Secure. Simple. Fast. QSafeChat is a free messenger for everyone: chat, share photos and videos, post statuses and make voice and video calls — all end-to-end encrypted, with no ads and nothing to set up. WHY "QUANTUM-SAFE"? Most encrypted apps today rely on math that a large enough quantum computer is expected to break. Someone could record your encrypted messages now and try to open them years later — "harvest now, decrypt later". QSafeChat protects against that with post-quantum cryptography (PQC): new encryption algorithms designed to resist quantum computers, standardized by the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). Every direct conversation starts with a PQXDH key agreement using ML-KEM and continues with a Double Ratchet, so your messages stay private today and tomorrow. SIMPLE TO START • Pick a name and an @handle — that's your identity • Add people by scanning their QR code (or sharing yours as an image), or by @handle • Your phone number is used once to check you are a real person, then discarded — never stored by us, never searchable FAST AND FRIENDLY • Messages, photos, videos, voice notes and documents • Voice and video calls, encrypted on your device • Statuses for your contacts, reactions, replies and disappearing messages • English and Turkish WHAT STAYS PRIVATE • Direct messages, media, statuses and calls are end-to-end encrypted • Your contact list never leaves your device • Everything the app keeps on your phone lives in an encrypted vault, behind an optional PIN or Face ID • No ads, no trackers, no analytics HONEST BY DESIGN Every conversation is labeled truthfully: group chats are currently protected in transit while group end-to-end encryption is in development. INDEPENDENT INFRASTRUCTURE QSafeChat runs on its own servers — no third-party messaging cloud in between. The server only sees sealed envelopes and the routing data needed to deliver them, and you can delete your account and its server-side data at any time from Settings. FREE FOR EVERYONE No invitation, no waiting list, no subscriptions, no in-app purchases. Questions or feedback: mert@qsaferoom.com
