hyMessage

The Messenger That
Can't Spy On You

Fully decentralized. End-to-end encrypted. No phone number required.

Signal is encrypted — but it's still centralized. One company controls your identity, your contacts, and your metadata. They require your phone number. Their servers see who you talk to and when.

hyMessage is different. No central server owns your data. Your keys are generated on your device and never leave it. Your identity is a passphrase — not a phone number tied to your real name. We can't read your messages, and we can't be compelled to hand them over, because we never have them.

What Makes Us Different

Your Keys, Your Identity

Your identity is a passphrase you choose — not a phone number tied to your real name. Keys are generated on your device using X25519 + AES-256-GCM. Private keys never touch a server.

No Central Server

Signal has one. WhatsApp has Meta's. We don't. Messages are encrypted blobs relayed through the network — the server is a dumb pipe. It can't read, store, or hand over your conversations.

Zero Metadata Collection

Signal still sees who you message and when. We don't. Our zero-knowledge architecture means we can't build a social graph of your contacts even if ordered to.

Signal Protocol + More

Double-ratchet key exchange with Perfect Forward Secrecy — plus screenshot protection, invisible watermarks, view-once media, and disappearing messages with real deletion.

Encrypted Calls & Video

Crystal-clear 1-on-1 and group calls (up to 8) with WebRTC encryption. Screen sharing, picture-in-picture — all end-to-end encrypted.

AI That Respects Privacy

Say "Hypatia" in any conversation and our AI responds — translations, summaries, smart replies, content generation. No training on your data. Ever.

Payments Built In

Send money, split bills, escrow deals — right in chat. hyPay supports 5 crypto chains plus Cash App, Venmo, Zelle, and bank ACH. Confident enough for business deals.

Anti-Leak Protection

Screenshot blocking, screen recording prevention, invisible per-user watermarks, copy protection, and PIN lock. Signal doesn't do any of this.

No App Store Required

Install from your browser as a PWA. No Apple or Google gatekeeping. No forced updates. No app store tracking your install.
