AES-256 + ML-KEM encryption
Two independent encryption layers — the same hybrid approach used by Apple and Signal. AES-256 is the gold standard used by governments worldwide. ML-KEM is post-quantum, built to resist future quantum computers. Both must fail simultaneously. We cannot read your messages. Not us. Not anyone.

We collect almost nothing
Your email is hashed the moment you register — we store a fingerprint, not your address. Your IP is never logged. No tracking pixels. No behavioral profiles. No "people you may know." We architected the system so the data never exists in the first place.

Messages expire. Your device doesn't.
Messages expire from our servers after 30 days — there's nothing to subpoena after that because it's genuinely gone. Your device keeps everything locally, forever. The server is a relay. Your phone is the archive. Screenshots are king. This is how it worked before cloud storage made us lazy about privacy.

No algorithm. Ever.
Your feed is chronological. Always. No engagement scoring. No recommended content. No boosted posts. No content ranked by what makes you angry. You see what your buddies posted, in the order they posted it, then you sign off. The algorithm is how the internet started watching you. We don't have one.
chronological only

Write down your screenname.
We hash your email — we can't look you up without it. We don't store "last seen" timestamps. We can't recover a forgotten screenname. This is old school by design. Remember when AIM screennames were sacred? When you kept them in a notebook? When you screenshotted your buddy list before a new computer? That's this.
old school rules

Delete means delete.
Most apps keep your data in backup for 90 days "just in case." We hard delete everything the moment you confirm — posts, buddies, messages, history — gone from our servers immediately. No grace period. No soft delete. No "we'll keep this in case you change your mind." Gone is gone.
hard delete always
