About this app

Tlon Messenger is a new kind of app: the only tool that lets you own your communications and collaborate peer-to-peer with the people you care about most.

Take back control of your data with Tlon Messenger's simple set of channel types:

+ Send messages to your friends, family, and closest collaborators with chats.
+ Collect links and media with galleries to reference later.
+ Write a to-do list, publish a bulletin for your book club, write a blog to your fans, and keep a journal with notebooks.

Yours to own, completely

Unlike most software out there, Tlon Messenger is decentralized and open source. Connect to Tlon Messenger with a unique ID you own. Your ID is a key to a stand-alone node that connects to a peer-to-peer network. This means no middlemen mining your data and no concern about its durability. If we disappear, you can continue to use our messenger.

Simple to set up

Tlon Messenger is built on a new software stack carefully designed to enable true extendability and control. We take care of running your node for you, making sure it's always online and up-to-date.

Trust living online now

Owning your data liberates you from addictive algorithms and engagement anxiety. With TM, you're in control of your digital life, including who sees it and where you take it. If you want to run your node yourself, we'll even show you how.

I like the potential here and I realize its still under development. However, please consider to stop banning much more secure OS systems (i.e. grapheneOS). Apps can use the standard Android hardware attestation API to verify hardware, OS and app with GrapheneOS. Play integrity API is not needed! Hope yall get behind this for us.

Possibly the greatest app ever conceived of. I am in tears. The sublime beauty and intricately woven aesthetic of The App has left me breathless, euphoric, and unable to control my innards. 10/10 would download again Also Galen sign my mousepad
