Virulla

Private by design. No phone number, no email, no account. End-to-end encrypted messages that self-destruct. Free to download, with 50 free credits to start.

Virulla is a private messenger built for people who mean it.

ANONYMOUS BY DESIGN No phone number. No email. No name. No account. When you open the app it creates an anonymous identity right on your device and gives you a Recovery Key that only you hold. There is nothing for anyone to look up, leak, or subpoena.

END-TO-END ENCRYPTED Every message is protected with the same proven cryptography used by the most trusted secure messengers (X3DH key agreement, the Double Ratchet, and AES-256-GCM). Only you and the person you're talking to can read your messages — not us, not the network, not anyone in between.

MESSAGES THAT TRULY DISAPPEAR Set a timer and your messages self-destruct. When the timer runs out, the key that unlocks the message is destroyed on your device — which makes the message permanently unrecoverable, even from a backup. Gone means gone.

PHOTOS & VIDEOS, ENCRYPTED Send pictures and videos that are encrypted on your device before they ever leave it. Our servers only ever see scrambled data and delete it the moment it's delivered.

ONE-TIME PURCHASE, NO SUBSCRIPTION Virulla is a one-time purchase — buy it once, no subscription, no ads, no data selling. Sending messages uses credits, available in simple one-off packs.

BUILT-IN SAFETY Block anyone instantly and report abuse in a tap. We act on reports quickly.

Virulla doesn't ask you to trust us. It's built so that you don't have to.

Note: no software is unhackable. See our privacy policy and security notes for an honest description of what's protected and the limits of any secure messenger.
