Description

Session is a new breed of private messenger, built on a unique network of user-operated servers spread all over the world. With no central servers, Session can’t leak or sell your data. And with Session’s private routing protocols, your messages are completely anonymous. No one ever knows who you’re talking to, what you’re saying, or even your IP address.

• Fully anonymous account creation: No phone number or email needed to create an Account ID

• Decentralised server network: No data breaches, no central point of failure

• No metadata logging: Session doesn't store, track, or log your messaging metadata

• IP address protection: Device IP addresses are never exposed to the person you're talking to or the servers holding your data

• Closed groups: Private, end-to-end encrypted group chats for up to 100 people

• Secure attachments: Share voice snippets, photos, and files with Session's secure encryption and privacy protections

• Free and open-source: Don’t take our word for it — check Session's code yourself

Session is free as in free speech, free as in free beer, and free of ads and trackers. Session is built and maintained by the OPTF, Australia’s first privacy tech not-for-profit organisation. Take back your online privacy today — download Session.

Needs security code

This app is great. But the security code should be different than your phone numbers.
Any family member can enter

Full featured next level communications

Session brings the best of today’s messenger features into a brilliantly executed privacy focused application. Users can easily connect via cutting edge privacy technology across a wide range of mobile and desktop environments. The interface supports many of today’s features and enhancements. It does this so beautifully and simplistically that the advanced privacy infrastructure which facilitates it through a decentralized network is transparent to users. The app in of itself merits attention but add to that next level privacy through revolutionary network protocols and app design virtually ensures Session will become the new standard in privacy communication. Nothing out there goes this far.

Thanks for your feedback and support, it really means a lot!
