Scammers, bullies, predators. Every message is checked before it reaches you. KindChat is a full-featured messenger with a conscience: every message is checked on the sender's phone before it can be sent. If the phone is unsure, cannot yet judge the language on its own, or lacks the memory for it, a KindChat server in the EU checks the text and the messages before it, without your account ID. The text is stored only if you consent via "Help improve moderation", and then pseudonymised. When the check detects harassment, hate, threats, scams or grooming, the message is stopped before it is sent. Then every message is end-to-end encrypted: no one can read it on the way. THE CIVILITY GUARD • Every message is checked on the device, before it is sent • Harassment, hate speech, threats, scams and grooming are detected and stopped • One fair standard for everyone: civil disagreement, strong opinions and dark humor are fine; harm is not TRULY PRIVATE • End-to-end encryption (Signal protocol) for every chat, group, photo and call • Encrypted 1:1 voice and video calls • Pulse: a private feed for your circle only. No strangers, no public likes, no algorithm • No tracking, no profiling. Your data is never sold, and never passed on to ad networks or data brokers YOU STAY IN CONTROL • Verify contacts in person with safety numbers • Mute, block or report; the person you report won't learn who reported • When you report, moderation sees the reported message only with your consent; the rest of your chat stays encrypted • Real humans review every account decision, with a written explanation and a right to appeal BUILT IN GERMANY • Hosted in the EU under GDPR • DSA-compliant moderation with due process • Free to use; optional Plus upgrades for comfort features KindChat is for everyone who wants strong conversations without the ugliness: families, friends, clubs and classmates. Hand your teen a phone, not a worry. Kind chats. Strong conversations. Terms of Use: https://kindchat.app/en/terms/ Privacy Policy: https://kindchat.app/en/privacy/

Sendant is a private, encrypted messenger built on a simple promise: your conversations belong to you. Messages are end-to-end encrypted by default, your keys never leave your device, there's no central server quietly logging who you talk to — and no phone number, email, or account required to start. It feels like the messengers you already know — fast chats, groups, attachments, reactions, and disappearing messages — but the trust model underneath is different. WHY SENDANT • End-to-end encrypted by default (X3DH + Double Ratchet). Only you and the people you're talking to can read your messages. • No phone number, email, or account. Your identity lives in cryptographic keys held on your device, not tied to your SIM. • Messages that don't get lost. Your message is sealed on your device and held in a store-and-forward mailbox the servers can't read, so it waits and delivers when your contact reconnects. • Less metadata. We minimize the "who talked to whom, when" trail that centralized apps collect by default. • Verify the people you trust. Confirm a contact with a QR code or safety number, and get a clear, plain-language warning the moment something changes. • No ads, no tracking SDKs. TRUST YOU CAN READ Security here speaks plain English. Sendant shows "Verified," "End-to-end encrypted," and "Safety number changed" — never cryptographic jargon. PRIVACY BY DEFAULT No phone number, email, or account required. Local-first storage on your device. Your keys stay under your control. Private by default. Calm by design.
