SimpleX Chat - a private and encrypted messenger without any user IDs (not even random ones)! Make a private connection via link / QR code to send messages and make calls.

Unlike other messaging networks, SimpleX has no identifiers assigned to the users. It does not rely on phone numbers, domain-based addresses (like email or XMPP), usernames, public keys or even random numbers to identify its users — SimpleX server operators don't know how many people use their servers.

To deliver messages SimpleX uses pairwise anonymous addresses of unidirectional message queues, separate for received and sent messages, usually via different servers.

This design protects the privacy of who you are communicating with, hiding it from SimpleX network servers and from any observers. To hide your IP address from the servers, you can connect to SimpleX servers via Tor.
