Sealed before send
Messages are encrypted on your device before they touch the network.
ShadowTalk encrypts messages, groups, and attachments on your device—before they ever leave it.

Secure session
Privacy, without fine print
The server moves sealed envelopes. The keys that open them stay with your devices. Read the Privacy Policy for what we store.
Nothing extra. Nothing exposed.
Direct messages, private groups, and attachments—protected by the same security model.
Messages are encrypted on your device before they touch the network.
Every group message gets Signal-session protection for each member device.
Photos, files, and voice notes reach the server only as ciphertext.
Compare safety numbers and block unexpected identity changes.
Designed around the message
No plaintext hand-off. No server-side decryption step. Your recipient’s device is the destination.
Security, honestly stated
ShadowTalk uses Signal protocol primitives and has not yet completed an independent security audit.
Your message begins on your device.
Signal sessions turn content into ciphertext before upload.
Decryption happens only at the other end of the conversation.

Coming soon
ShadowTalk is in active development for mobile and desktop. Release downloads will appear here when they’re ready.
