Messages are end-to-end encrypted by default, your keys never leave your device, there's no central server quietly logging who you talk to — and no phone number required to start.

It feels like the messengers you already know — fast chats, groups, channels, attachments, reactions, edits, and disappearing messages, with voice and video on the roadmap — but the trust model underneath is different.

WHY SENDANT
• End-to-end encrypted by default. Only you and the people you're talking to can read your messages. Not us — by design, our infrastructure only ever sees ciphertext.
• No phone number. Start private. Your identity isn't tied to your SIM, and your keys stay under your control.
• Built peer-to-peer. Your identity and keys live on your device, not in an account on our servers. Direct device-to-device and relay paths are rolling out; today your messages travel a sealed store-and-forward route.
• Messages that don't get lost. Your message is sealed on your device and held in a store-and-forward mailbox the servers can't read — so when your contact is offline or on a flaky connection, it waits and delivers when they reconnect, instead of failing.
• Less metadata. We minimize the "who talked to whom, when" trail that centralized apps collect by default.
• Security in plain language. Sendant shows clear status — "Verified," "End-to-end encrypted," "Safety number changed" — never jargon. QR and cryptographic safety-number verification are rolling out.

TRUST YOU CAN READ
Security here speaks plain English. Sendant shows "Verified," "End-to-end encrypted," "New device added," and "Safety number changed" — never cryptographic jargon. Every moment that asks you to make a trust decision is surfaced clearly, never buried.

BUILT FOR
• People who want a mainstream-easy messenger without centralized trust in their message history.
• Journalists, NGOs, and civil-society teams who need confidential coordination and resilience to account takedowns.
• Communities and operators who can run relay and mailbox nodes to strengthen the network.

PRIVACY BY DEFAULT
No phone number required. Local-first storage on your device. Your keys stay under your control.

Private by default. Calm by design. ## Rankings - #2,392,881 — Overall ## Permissions and access ### Permissions - `android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE` - `android.permission.ACCESS_NOTIFICATION_POLICY` - `android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE` - `android.permission.BLUETOOTH` - `android.permission.CAMERA` - `android.permission.DOWNLOAD_WITHOUT_NOTIFICATION` - `android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE` - `android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE_CAMERA` - `android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE_MICROPHONE` - `android.permission.INTERNET` - `android.permission.MODIFY_AUDIO_SETTINGS` - `android.permission.POST_NOTIFICATIONS` - `android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE` - `android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED` - `android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO` - `android.permission.SCHEDULE_EXACT_ALARM` - `android.permission.USE_BIOMETRIC` - `android.permission.USE_FINGERPRINT` - `android.permission.USE_FULL_SCREEN_INTENT` - `android.permission.VIBRATE` - `android.permission.WAKE_LOCK` - `com.android.vending.CHECK_LICENSE` - `com.google.android.c2dm.permission.RECEIVE` - `io.sendant.DYNAMIC_RECEIVER_NOT_EXPORTED_PERMISSION` ## Similar extensions and apps - [Comsend Secret](https://chrome-stats.com/d/au.com.comsend.secret) — 1 users - [Sealed](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.kamryy.sealed) — 65 users - [Secure - Messenger](https://chrome-stats.com/d/org.securelegion) — 225 users - [Secure Messenger](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.dibyendu303.securemessenger) — 143 users - [Signet Private](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.signalPrivat.com.signal_private) — 887 users - [Secure Message](https://chrome-stats.com/d/cc.inosoftware.securemessage) — 112 users - [Speakeasy — Private Messages](https://chrome-stats.com/d/xyz.speakeasyapp.app) — 19 users - [GetSafeNow: Secure Messenger](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.getsafenow.app) — 84 users - [EXTRA SAFE: Encrypted Chat](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.extrasafe.chat.app) — 738,307 users, 4.29 / 5 - [Messant - Indian Messaging App](https://chrome-stats.com/d/in.messant) — 9 users - [SneakChat](https://chrome-stats.com/d/bg.kostov.sneakchat) — 7 users - [Secretly: Secure Messenger](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.secretly.secretly_app) — 3,345 users --- Source: [Chrome-Stats](https://chrome-stats.com/d/io.sendant)
