## Description

Onym is a private messenger built on one idea: your conversations are yours.<br><br>END-TO-END ENCRYPTED<br>Only the people in your group can read what&#39;s sent. Onym&#39;s servers never see your messages.<br><br>NO PHONE NUMBER, NO EMAIL<br>Your identity is a cryptographic key you own — not your contact info. Create one in seconds, and make as many as you like.<br><br>NO CENTRAL SERVER<br>Group membership is anchored on the Stellar network, not owned by us. There&#39;s no company account that can lock you out.<br><br>START A CHAT WITH ONE LINK<br>Spin up an encrypted group and share a single invite link. People join later without exchanging any keys.<br><br>BRING YOUR OWN INFRASTRUCTURE<br>Onym carries messages and media over open Nostr relays and Blossom servers. Use the defaults, or point the app at your own instances for maximum privacy.<br><br>MULTIPLE IDENTITIES<br>Keep contacts and chats cleanly separated. Switch between identities with a tap.<br><br>YOU HOLD THE KEYS<br>A recovery phrase restores your identity on a new device. Lose it and no one — including us — can recover it.<br><br>Onym doesn&#39;t ask who you are. No accounts, no profiles, no tracking, no ads. Just private conversations you control.<br><br>Built by people who think privacy is a right.
