About this app

Haven is a self-hosted encrypted chat app that puts your privacy first. Connect to your own Haven server and communicate with full end-to-end encryption — no third parties, no data harvesting, no compromises.
📱 REQUIREMENTS
• A running Haven server (self-hosted) or Community Server (Channel da0b9be7)
• Android 8.0 (Oreo) or later

🔒 END-TO-END ENCRYPTION
Text messages in direct messages are encrypted using ECDH P-256 key exchange with HKDF-SHA256 derivation and AES-256-GCM. Your encryption keys are generated on-device and never leave your phone. Optional encrypted key backup lets you restore across devices using your password.
