Tessera

Tessera is an end-to-end encrypted messenger built for conversations, not profiles, feeds, or advertising. NO PHONE NUMBER OR EMAIL Create an account as a key pair on your device. There is no phone number, email address, password, social login, contact upload, advertising identifier, or behavioral analytics. CONVERSATIONS ONLY MEMBERS CAN READ Text, group messages, and images are encrypted on your device using Messaging Layer Security (MLS, RFC 9420). The service delivers ciphertext and does not hold the conversation keys. ADD PEOPLE DELIBERATELY Every contact starts with a deliberate action: enter their account ID, or scan their QR code in person when identity matters most. Conversations and groups are invite-only. RECOVERY YOU CONTROL Your 12-word recovery phrase restores your identity on a new device. Tessera cannot reset it for you. Message history does not follow a restored identity because conversation keys are intentionally excluded from the backup. HONEST SECURITY BOUNDARIES End-to-end encryption protects content, not all metadata. The service can see operational information such as IP addresses, account IDs, conversation membership, timestamps, sizes, platform, and push tokens. Tessera is not an anonymity network and does not claim to resist device compromise or global traffic analysis. REPORT, BLOCK, AND DELETE Report an account from a conversation and choose exactly which text excerpts to submit for human review. Block unwanted accounts; future messages from them are stopped before delivery and do not trigger push notifications. Delete your account permanently from Settings. Tessera has not yet undergone an independent security audit. We use an open IETF standard and mature open-source components, but that is not a substitute for reviewing the finished implementation. Two halves. One truth. Privacy Policy: https://tessera.innofun.digital/privacy/
Intuitio

Intuitio is where you send what you feel β without the risk of saying it first. Pick a feeling. Pick a person. Send it quietly. They'll never know you did β unless they feel the same way about you, within the same 24 hours. If they do, you're both notified instantly: you're on the same wavelength. No pressure. No awkward silence if it's one-sided. No notification, no record, nothing β the signal just quietly expires if it isn't returned. Only mutual moments ever surface. HOW IT WORKS β’ Choose from five signals: Thinking of You, Miss You, Grateful, Apologetic, or Vibe Check β’ Send it to someone in your contacts β they get no alert β’ If they send a signal back to you within 24 hours, it's a match β and you both see exactly what the other picked β’ If not, it disappears completely. No trace, no notification, no way to know it happened Three signals a day. One per person. Every connection you make is real, because it can only happen when it's mutual. Intuitio isn't about starting conversations you're not ready for. It's about finally knowing β quietly, safely β when someone feels the same way you do.
