White Noise: Secure Chat

Internet Privacy Foundation

About this app

White Noise: the identity-free messenger for private, censorship-resistant communication.

In a world where every message is tracked, White Noise offers a refuge. Built on the decentralized Nostr network and fortified with cutting-edge MLS encryption, it’s the first messenger that’s truly private, fast, and scalable.

No phone numbers, no emails, and no central authority.

WHY WHITE NOISE?

- Private by design: end-to-end encryption with forward secrecy and post-compromise security. Your messages stay hidden, even if keys leak.

- No censorship, ever: thousands of independent relays keep conversations flowing, no matter the pressure. Run your own or use trusted nodes.

- Identity freedom: choose anonymity, a pseudonym, or your real name. Your data, your rules.

- Scale without limits: from one-on-one chats to groups with thousands, White Noise stays fast, secure, and seamless.

- Open source & community-driven: built transparently for trust and security. Everyone can inspect the code, verify claims, and contribute improvements. No backdoors, no corporate control, just a free, open tool for everyone.
