New: a decoy pin that opens an empty Kryfo, hidden chats behind a pin of their own, animated stickers, and a chat with Marios, who builds Kryfo, anonymous if you like.
Timed messages you receive start counting down when read, or a day after they arrive if still unread. Delivery is steadier after time offline, and the app lock comes up more reliably when you leave the app.
Security improvements throughout. Update when you can.
About Kryfo
a private messenger. no phone number, no email, no account. you are a key
pair generated on your device. nobody, including us, can tie your chats to
a real identity, and no one can look you up unless you claim a public
handle.
by default everything travels over tor. content is end to end encrypted with
the signal protocol. when a contact is offline, messages wait on relays,
sealed so the relay learns nothing about who is talking or what is said. no
address book upload, ever.
features:
* no phone number or email to sign up
* end to end encryption (signal protocol)
* all traffic through an embedded tor client by default
* direct onion delivery, relay fallback when a peer is offline
* groups with photos, files, voice messages, replies, reactions, pins and polls
* animated stickers that travel as a name, so no picture leaves the phone
* search across all your chats, kept in the encrypted database
* timed messages that burn after a set time
* encrypted local database and encrypted backups
* app lock with pin or biometrics, a decoy pin that opens an empty kryfo, and hidden chats behind a pin of their own
* panic wipe that removes everything, including media on disk
* a chat with the person who builds kryfo, anonymous if you like
* 15 languages
* no analytics, no telemetry, no ads
funding: no ads, no investors. it runs on what backers give. backing is
optional and anonymous, and every feature works the same either way.
