A short, factual catalog of BlindPost's capabilities and the architecture choices behind them.
Privacy you control
- End-to-end encrypted. Every message is encrypted on your device. The server processes ciphertext and cannot read content. X25519 for key exchange, AES-256-GCM for symmetric encryption.
- No phone number, no email, no account. Your identity is a local Ed25519 keypair generated on your device at first launch. There is no signup form to fill.
- Server-blind architecture. Relay servers hold ciphertext blobs only. They see no sender, no recipient, no group membership, no message content. Privacy by architecture, not by promise.
- Burn after read. Pick how long after the recipient opens a message it disappears, on both devices.
- Burn after send. Pick a wall-clock time when you send. Both devices burn the message at that exact moment — no waiting for a read.
- 12-word recovery phrase. The only way to recover your identity on a new device. The recovery phrase lives only with you; BlindPost cannot reset it.
Talk however you want
- All the basics. Text, voice messages, images, video, files. Each delivered E2E like text.
- 100,000-member groups. Fully end-to-end encrypted. Group state never leaves member devices in plaintext.
- Voice effects. Send a voice message with a few playful pitch effects.
- Polls and group cards. Vote inside a group. Share another group as a tap-to-join card in any chat — open mode for instant join, approval mode if admins want to review.
- Inline translation and Reader View. Translate a bubble in place; pop a long markdown message into a clean full-screen reader.
Built to last
- Peer-to-peer cluster. Multiple relay nodes operate the network. Clients discover and switch among them automatically.
- Cross-platform. iOS, Android (Google Play and direct APK), macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel), and Linux (deb and rpm). Windows client in development.
- Free, no ads, no tracking. No advertising. No data brokers. No premium tier dangling features behind a paywall.
