Work in progress — proof of concept verified. The v1 specification and reference apps are being prepared.
Your message. Nobody else's.
A messenger with no one in the middle. No accounts. No phone numbers. No servers. No company that can read, scan, or hand over your conversations — because none exists.

The messenger that works when platforms go down, governments crack down, and companies give in.
Not just for privacy people. For anyone who's ever lost an account, watched a service go dark, or wondered why a messenger needs their phone number.
Your account can't be banned.
Your identity is a key on your device. Nobody can lock you out, wipe your history, or decide you broke a rule you never heard of.
Your number stays yours.
Share a QR or a link — not your phone number. No strangers finding you from a leaked contacts list. No being added to groups you didn't ask for.
Works when platforms don't.
Messages travel directly between your device and theirs. No servers to outage. No region to block. No company between you and the person you're talking to.
No ads. Ever.
Priver is a protocol, not a business. There's no feed to monetise, no attention to sell, no "sponsored messages" coming to a future update.
Your chats are yours.
You keep your history. You keep your keys. No cloud that forgets your password or raises its price. No terms of service to change the rules later.
Not "we promise not to look." Math.
End-to-end encrypted by default — the same cryptography Signal uses, without Signal's servers. Your conversations are protected by mathematics, not corporate policy.
Want the full threat model?
If you're a journalist, lawyer, activist, or just curious about exactly how every mainstream messenger leaks your data — read the deep dive. Every claim sourced. Side-by-side comparison. Why Chat Control doesn't touch Priver.
Priver is built different. Fundamentally different.
Signal proved that end-to-end encryption could be easy. Priver takes the next step: removing the servers, the phone numbers, and the single organization that could be forced to comply.
-
There is no server to subpoena.
-
There is no company that holds your data.
-
There is no one to comply — because there is no one in between.
How it works
No accounts. No phone numbers.
Your identity is a cryptographic key pair generated on your device. Nobody issues it. Nobody can revoke it. Nobody knows it exists.
No central servers.
Messages travel directly from your device to theirs — through Tor, which hides your IP, your location, and the fact that you're communicating at all.
End-to-end encrypted with Signal Protocol.
The same Double Ratchet algorithm used by Signal — but without Signal's servers. Every message gets a unique key. Past messages stay safe even if your device is compromised today.
Decentralized discovery.
Finding another Priver user doesn't require a directory. It uses a distributed hash table — the same technology that powers BitTorrent — with no central point that can be shut down or seized.
Open source. Always.
Every line of code is public. Any researcher, security expert, or curious developer can verify exactly what Priver does and doesn't do. No black boxes. No trust required.
By design, not by promise.
Not "we promise we don't look." Not "trust us." Not "we're a nonprofit." Privacy isn't a marketing claim — it's the architecture.
Three layers. Zero compromise.
Priver Protocol
The open standard. Published under an open license. Anyone can implement it, audit it, build on it. A communication protocol designed for the post-Chat-Control world.
Priver App
The reference implementation. Available for iOS, Android, and desktop. Simple enough for anyone. Secure enough for everyone.
Priver Gateway
The self-hosted bridge for iOS push notifications. Because Apple requires a server to wake up sleeping apps — we made it open source, federated, and operated by the community. You can run your own. The gateway never sees your messages. It only knocks on the door.
Priver is for everyone who has ever assumed their messages were private.
Journalists →
because a source's safety may depend on your inbox.
Lawyers
because privilege means nothing if the server can be read.
Activists
because organizing shouldn't require risking your freedom.
Businesses
because one leaked conversation can cost more than a breach.
Families
because your dinner-table conversations aren't anyone's business model.
And everyone in between. Privacy isn't a feature for the paranoid. It's a right for everyone.
Built to outlast any company — including us.
Priver is a protocol, not a platform. Like email, like HTTP, like TCP/IP — it doesn't belong to anyone. It can't be bought, shut down, or forced to comply.
The specification is public. The code is open. The network is distributed.
If Jetlio disappeared tomorrow, Priver would continue. Other developers would build clients. Other operators would run gateways. The protocol lives independently of the organization that created it.
That's the point.
Start a conversation only you two can hear.
