## Description

Skred is the first secure peer-to-peer instant messaging app — no need for an email address or phone number. It’s free, subscription-free, provider-free, SIM-free, and leaves no trace, with end-to-end encryption.

Built on privacy-by-design, Skred uses open‑source encryption inspired by the Guardian Project, ensures no server stores your data, and creates a private connection between each contact. SkredBoard lets you generate multiple identities for absolute confidentiality, supports group chats, and enables message deletion on the recipient’s device, plus voice and video calls.

Users overall praise Skred Messenger for its strong privacy and encryption, with many noting a privacy-first approach (no phone-number exposure). The app is described as simple, easy to use, and capable for calling others.

A few requests are common: screen sharing, free group calls, and easier ways to add friends via referrals. Despite these issues, the sentiment remains positive and focused on privacy and secure communication.
