## Description

Private text and photo messaging with end-to-end encryption. Add friends face-to-face by QR — keys never touch a server. No phone number, no ads, no tracking.

SecChats is a private, end-to-end encrypted messenger for one-to-one
and group conversations. Every text and photo you send is encrypted on
your device with AES-256-GCM under a key derived from an ECDH
handshake with the recipient. The server only sees ciphertext.

No phone number. No email. No ads. No tracking.

Why SecChats

— True end-to-end encryption. Messages are encrypted on your device
  before they leave it and only decrypted on the recipient's. The
  SecChats server cannot read them. Neither can we.
— No phone number or email. Sign up with a display name. The server
  assigns you an opaque user ID; share that with friends to start
  chatting.
— Private by design. The on-device database is wrapped in an
  additional AES-256-GCM layer, so a stolen or seized device does not
  hand over your conversation history.
— Add friends face-to-face by scanning a QR code — keys never touch a server.
— Photos, text, groups. Send messages and images to friends or
  groups; create groups and share QR-code invitations; scan a QR code
  to join a group you were invited to.
— Seven languages. Switch the interface between System default,
  English, Romanian, Japanese, French, German, Spanish, and Brazilian
  Portuguese from Settings.
— Open API and reference client. The protocol is documented and
  shipped alongside an open-source Java reference client, so you can
  audit or rebuild the messaging stack yourself. SecChats does not
  lock you in.

What's in the app

— Friends tab — your contacts, groups, pending requests, and
  group invitations. New activity is flagged with a small dot.
— Chat tab — bubble-style conversations with copy/delete on each
  message, clickable URLs, and full-screen image previews.
— Settings tab — language picker, message and account wipe,
  Banned Channels ledger for anyone you have reported and removed.

Security details

— Wire format: AES-256-GCM under an ECDH-derived shared secret.
— At-rest format: AES-256-GCM with a per-install key, layered over
  every text payload and every image payload before SQLite ever
  sees the bytes.
— Profanity filter on display names and group names, backed by a
  curated word list.
— Open verification: the protocol and reference client are public.
