Encrypted messaging, calls, AI, and more — all in one free app.
Every message is encrypted end-to-end with X25519 key exchange and AES-256-GCM. Not even we can read your chats.
Crystal-clear encrypted calls over WebRTC with DTLS. Peer-to-peer — no server in the middle listening in.
Get smart replies, translations, and summaries right inside your chat. No other messenger has this built in.
Create encrypted group conversations with anyone. Same end-to-end encryption, same privacy guarantees.
Share documents, photos, and files — all encrypted in transit and at rest. No file size drama.
Install as a PWA on any device — iPhone, Android, desktop. No app store required. No gatekeepers.
No downloads. No phone number. No verification codes.
Visit the app in any browser. Works on every device, every platform.
Pick a username. Your encryption keys are generated on-device. No phone number needed.
Add contacts and send encrypted messages instantly. It's that simple.
Not marketing buzzwords — actual protocols you can audit.
Elliptic-curve Diffie-Hellman for perfect forward secrecy. Keys are generated on your device and never leave it.
Military-grade authenticated encryption for every message. Tamper-proof, unreadable without your key.
Voice and video calls encrypted peer-to-peer via DTLS-SRTP. No server ever hears your conversation.
Messages stored locally in your browser's IndexedDB. Your data stays on your device — not our servers.
We can't read your messages, listen to your calls, or see your contacts. Mathematically impossible by design.
No proprietary black boxes. The encryption protocols are standard, proven, and independently verifiable.
One plan. Everything included. Free forever.
hyMessage is a Progressive Web App. No app store needed.
Private messaging that actually respects your privacy. No phone number. No compromise.
