SimpleX Chat
Private and secure messenger without any user IDs, not even random

SimpleX Chat is an end-to-end encrypted messaging app that requires no user IDs of any kind, ensuring complete anonymity. All messages are routed through servers as random noise, and contacts and groups are stored only on the user's device. Anyone can run their own SimpleX servers, making the network decentralized and user-owned.
Messages are routed through servers as indistinguishable random noise with no user identifiers; connections are made via link or QR code and all contact data stays on the user's device.
Privacy-conscious individuals and communities seeking anonymous, decentralized communication
