## Description

Secure messenger (calls, video calls, media, messages, video circles) with E2E encryption. Maximum privacy. No phone number or email required to register.

HomeChat is a secure messenger with full end-to-end encryption.

Exclusively private one-on-one communication — no groups, no channels.

Who HomeChat is for:
- Family and loved ones
- Lawyers, doctors, entrepreneurs
- Crypto traders
- Anyone who doesn't trust big platforms

PRIVACY

HomeChat encrypts everything — text, media, reactions, and call signals — directly on your device. The server does not store messages and never has access to your conversations. Decrypting data without the keys on your device is impossible. Own built-in tunnel

- No phone number, email, or personal data required to register
- No ads or third-party analytics
- No personal data collection
- Encrypted media files are automatically deleted from the server after 7 days
- Delete your account at any time with one tap
- App PIN — independent cryptographic protection, separate from the phone passcode. Without the correct PIN, app content is inaccessible even on an unlocked device
- Panic code — instantly and irreversibly destroys all data within the app with no trace and no possibility of recovery

FEATURES

- Text messages, photos, videos, audio, documents (max file size — 100 MB)
- Video messages (video circles)
- Voice calls

- Message reactions — (not available in Telegram's Secret Chats)
- Statuses: sent → delivered → read

SECURITY

Encryption protocols:
- X3DH + Double Ratchet (Signal protocol) on Apple CryptoKit
- AES-256-GCM for all data types
- Ed25519 for signing, X25519 for key exchange
- Forward Secrecy — compromising one key doesn't reveal past conversations

Calls:
- WebRTC over self-hosted STUN/TURN servers
- Direct P2P connection via STUN (when possible), TURN as a fallback channel
- Call signaling (IP addresses, SDP) is additionally encrypted
- DTLS/SRTP protection for the voice stream

Transport:
- WSS (WebSocket Secure) + TLS + Certificate Pinning (SPKI) — protection against MITM attacks

On-device data:
- Messages stored in an encrypted SQLite database
- Session keys in the iOS Keychain (ThisDeviceOnly)
- Media files excluded from iCloud backups
- Session rollback protection (used encryption keys are destroyed immediately and cannot be recovered)

Push notifications:
- Message content never enters the push payload
- VoIP Push only carries the caller's identifier

NOTES
- Works in Russia
- Your account and all your chats are tied to a single device
- Push notifications and VoIP calls work in the background
- Supports iPhone and iPad
