VeilMesh vs OffNet Chat

Private messaging that keeps working when the network doesn't. VeilMesh is an end-to-end encrypted messenger for teams and people who care about privacy. No phone number, no email — your identity is a cryptographic key that only you hold. HYBRID MESH — MESSAGES WITHOUT INTERNET When the internet is available, VeilMesh uses its secure relay. When it isn't, text messages travel phone to phone over Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, hopping across nearby devices until they reach the recipient. The switch is automatic. Ideal for field teams, events, hiking, travel and emergencies. SECURE TEAM CALLS Encrypted voice and video calls, one-to-one and in groups, with screen sharing. Calls ring like regular phone calls, even when the app is closed. GROUPS AND PRIVATE CHANNELS Group chats with members you approve, and private channels for broadcasting to the people you choose. END-TO-END ENCRYPTION BY DEFAULT Every message, photo, file, voice note and call is encrypted on your device (Double Ratchet for chats, MLS for groups). Our servers only pass encrypted data along and keep it only until it is delivered — your history lives on your devices, not in a cloud. ONE ACCOUNT, ALL YOUR DEVICES Use VeilMesh on iPhone, iPad and Mac with one account and keep conversations in sync. Move to a new iPhone directly from the old one. MADE FOR BIG SCREENS On iPad and on iPhone Duo unfolded, your chat list and conversation sit side by side. PRIVACY CONTROLS Lock individual chats behind a passcode, verify contacts with a safety code, and add people by scanning their Veil ID QR code — no phone numbers shared. VOICE NOTES AND MEDIA Send photos, documents and voice messages, all encrypted end to end. Download VeilMesh and keep your conversations private — online or off the grid.

OffNet Chat is a private messenger that works in places other messengers can't — and collects nothing, anywhere. NO SIGNAL? NO PROBLEM. At a festival, on a flight, hiking off-grid, or when the network is down: OffNet Chat sends messages directly between iPhones over Bluetooth and peer-to-peer Wi-Fi. Phones running OffNet Chat can quietly pass messages along for each other, so your words can hop through the crowd to reach a friend across it — and every hop only ever carries scrambled data. FAR APART? STILL PRIVATE. Turn on the internet bridge and message friends anywhere in the world. Messages travel as anonymous, end-to-end encrypted parcels through rotating mailboxes that can't be linked to you — no servers of ours, no accounts, no metadata trail. NO ACCOUNTS. NOTHING COLLECTED. There is no sign-up. Your identity is a cryptographic key created on your phone, and it never leaves your phone. We have no servers, no analytics, no ads, no tracking — we couldn't read your messages or sell your data even if we wanted to, because we never have either. EVERYTHING YOU EXPECT FROM A MESSENGER • Text, photos, and voice notes — all end-to-end encrypted • Photos send instantly as previews, then upgrade to high quality over Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or the bridge • Delivery ticks and icons showing which path each message took • Background notifications that decrypt privately on your device • Profile photos that sync to your friends automatically ADDING FRIENDS IS EFFORTLESS • Nearby: one of you scans the other's QR code — the other phone gets a simple accept prompt • Far away: share a one-time invite link over any app you already trust • Verify any friendship in person later with safety codes, like the pros do YOU'RE IN CONTROL • Three transport switches — Bluetooth mesh, Wi-Fi, internet — each one yours to flip • Block anyone, with a choice: notify them, or block quietly so they learn nothing • See exactly how much you've sent today • Delete your identity and every trace of your data, irreversibly, any time HONEST ENCRYPTION Modern, audited primitives from Apple's CryptoKit: Curve25519 key agreement and ChaCha20-Poly1305 encryption, end to end. Relay phones and the optional cloud mailboxes only ever see ciphertext. OffNet Chat does not yet implement forward secrecy (it's on the roadmap) — we'd rather tell you that than overpromise. OffNet Chat asks only for the permissions it visibly uses: Bluetooth and local network to reach nearby phones, camera to scan QR codes, microphone for voice notes you record, and notifications. Your words, your phone, your business.
