Sendant vs Doma

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.

Doma is a private messenger for exactly two people — you and your partner, in one shared home. One of you creates the home and shows a QR code. The other scans it, with the camera or from a screenshot, and you're connected. No sign-up, no phone numbers, no accounts. EVERYTHING YOU NEED, NOTHING YOU DON'T • Messages, photos and videos • Voice messages with an on-device transcript • Send your location, or share it live for one hour • Edit or delete your messages for both of you • Delivered and read ticks • Turn any message into a reminder, a note or a calendar event PRIVATE BY DESIGN • End-to-end encrypted: messages, photos, voice and location are encrypted on your iPhone with a key that only your two devices have. • Stored in your own iCloud. We run no servers and cannot read anything you send. • Notifications just say "New message in Doma" — never the content. • No ads, no tracking, no analytics. • Either of you can disconnect at any time. Doma is made for couples who want one quiet place for the two of them.
