Private by design
The intended production architecture is end-to-end encrypted so that room content can be read only on authorised members' devices.
Three separated layers
Layer 1
The room
People talk, ask, decide and plan privately.
Layer 2
One
The user's own device helps reveal what matters.
Layer 3
Permission gateway
Only an explicitly approved requirement can connect to an outside service.
The conversation stays. The intention can travel — with permission.

What we will not say
- No padlock badges on prototype messages
- No "military-grade encryption", "unhackable" or "zero knowledge"
- No claim that Signal Protocol or MLS is implemented
- No claim of independent audit
Secure group messaging needs device identity, key rotation, forward secrecy, multi-device support, lost-device recovery, encrypted attachments and backups, key verification and independent review. That is specialist cryptographic engineering using a recognised, maintained implementation — never an invented protocol.
Message storage today
Private development beta · not yet end-to-end encrypted
Sign-in and database permissions control access. They are not encryption: an authorised operator could read stored content. Plaintext room storage must be replaced with a specialist-designed, independently reviewed architecture before general users are invited.
From agreement to real life
A confirmed room outcome could — with permission — become:
- A place in maps
- An event in a calendar
- A task
- A journey
- A reservation
- A payment request
- A shared list
- A reminder
No partnerships exist. Every external action must state:
- What will be shared
- With whom
- For what purpose
- For how long
- Who approved it
- What returns to the room
