Work in progress — proof of concept verified. The v1 specification and reference apps are being prepared.
Your message.
Nobody else's.
Priver is a serverless, end-to-end encrypted messaging protocol. No accounts. No phone numbers. No central servers. No company that can be subpoenaed — because there is no one in between.

The messenger that
works when the others can't.
Not just for privacy people. For anyone who's ever lost an account, watched a platform go down, 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.
Nobody reads over your shoulder.
End-to-end encrypted by default — the same math Signal uses. Not "we promise not to look." Math.
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.
Not "we promise we don't look." Not "trust us." Not "we're a nonprofit."
-
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.
Privacy isn't a marketing claim — it's the architecture. Take any link out and the system still respects you.
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
protecting sources.
Lawyers
communicating with clients.
Activists
organizing in countries that criminalize dissent.
Businesses
discussing deals that can't leak.
Families
who just want to talk without being a product.
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 talking privately.
