Yonora vs Discrio

Yonora is a simple messenger for the people who matter to you. Messages, voice notes, photos, video, and free voice and video calls — all in one app. PRIVATE WHEN YOU WANT IT Open any one-to-one chat, tap the lock, and Private mode turns on. From that moment your messages are end-to-end encrypted on your own devices, so only the two of you can read them. Nobody else can — not even us. SPEAK YOUR OWN LANGUAGE Write in the language you think in. Yonora translates messages into the language the other person reads, across a hundred languages. Send a voice note and it can be turned into text, or into another language, so family in different countries can finally talk without stopping to type in English. FREE VOICE AND VIDEO CALLS Clear one-to-one calls and group calls for the whole family or the whole team. Put a call on hold and switch to another one. Calls use your internet connection. EVERYTHING YOU EXPECT FROM A MESSENGER - Groups, with disappearing messages when you want them - Voice messages, photos, videos and large files - Polls, events and live location sharing - Moments — share a picture or a line with your contacts for a day - Write a message now and let it send on the day you choose - Star and save the messages you want to keep - Read receipts, typing, and who is online — all switchable YOU DECIDE WHO SEES WHAT Every privacy switch is in one place. Choose who can see your last seen, your profile picture, your About, your phone number, and who can add you to groups. Lock individual chats behind your passcode. Turn on screenshot protection and, where your iPhone allows it, screenshots and screen recordings of Yonora come out black; if a screenshot is taken while protection is off, you are told in the chat. FIND ME WITHOUT MY NUMBER Set a public @username or share your QR code, and people can reach you without ever knowing your phone number. YONORA AI, BUILT IN Ask Yonora anything. Summarise a long chat in one line. Rewrite a message before you send it so it says what you meant. Get a suggested reply and answer in one tap. Reply automatically while you are busy. AI answers can be wrong, and there is a Report button on every one of them. SAFE AND RESPECTFUL Block anyone, in one tap — they cannot message you, call you, or see when you are online. Report a message or an account and a real person reviews it. You can delete your account, and everything in it, from inside the app at any time. WORKS WHERE YOU DO Yonora also runs in your browser, so the same conversations follow you from your phone to your computer. Yonora is made by Yonora LLC in Maryland, USA.

No account. No phone number. Nothing to sign up for. Two phones agree to talk by showing each other a code once. After that only those two phones can read what passes between them, and there is no account anywhere to leak, demand, or hand over. NOBODY CAN FIND YOU There is no directory, nowhere to search, and no address that leads to you. You start a conversation by showing someone a code in person, or by sending an invitation link that works once and expires after 24 hours. THE SERVER HAS NOTHING TO GIVE UP Messages pass through a relay holding encrypted blocks — every one exactly 8192 bytes, so size says nothing — under random names tied to no one. No user table, no record of who talks to whom. Blocks are deleted when collected, and expire after 21 days regardless. Tap the byte count under any message and see exactly what the server saw. BUILT TO STAY UNREADABLE X25519 with ML-KEM, the post-quantum standard, and the Double Ratchet, through libsignal — the audited open-source library behind them. Your text is padded to 4096 bytes before encryption, so even the ciphertext length gives nothing away. A message captured today stays unreadable when quantum computers arrive. Compare the sixty safety digits once and you know nobody came between you. If a contact's key ever changes, sending stops until you confirm. FOR THE MOMENT SOMEBODY IS HOLDING YOUR PHONE You choose two passphrases. One opens your conversations. The other opens an app that looks identical, holding ordinary, unremarkable ones. Nothing reveals which you typed: no alarm, no notification, not one second of delay. A third, optional passphrase destroys everything, then opens that same quiet app. Every conversation has a panic hold: press the name at the top and you are on the other side instantly. No button exists to give it away, and coming back needs the passphrase. The app also re-locks on its own — immediately, after a minute, five, an hour, or never. AGAINST THE CAMERA IN THE ROOM Screenshots come out blank. Screen recording and mirroring too. Captures work only where both of you allowed them: your messages sit on the other phone too, so a choice one of you makes alone protects nothing. Allow them and the other person is told the moment you take one. For a second phone pointed at your screen, camera mode opens a message only under your finger. Deniable wording bends the spelling on the way out so a photograph cannot quote you, leaving numbers, times and addresses as typed. Agreed words let one word stand for another, the meaning never reaching the screen. A watermark says which phone a leaked screenshot came from. MESSAGES THAT GO A timer per conversation: gone when you leave it, an hour, a day, a week, a month, or never. Counted from when a message is sent, not read. A ghost message is stronger. Read once, for three to thirty seconds, and then it exists on neither phone. Ghost messages never touch the disk, and a ghost photo can never be captured, whatever either of you allowed. Photos are encrypted on your phone and padded to one of five fixed sizes. NO INTERNET, NO PROBLEM Turn on nearby delivery and a message crosses the room directly — over Wi-Fi, or over the radios if there is none. It works with the internet cut off, and no third party sees the timing, the volume, or that anything was said. WHAT WE WILL NOT PRETEND Any server sees where a connection comes from. We do not log it, but that is a policy, not mathematics: use a VPN or Tor if you need to hide that you use Discrio at all. No software can stop somebody photographing your screen with a second phone. It raises the cost, not the impossibility. Forget your passphrase and your conversations are gone. Nothing is kept from which they could be rebuilt. That is the design, and the one thing that cannot be softened. Notifications say only "New message" — never who, never what — and can be turned off. 17 languages. No accounts, no analytics, no advertising, no third-party code.
