Post-Quantum Secured Messaging

Synapsis

BY ARCTIC

Messages that travel directly from your device to theirs, like two neurons firing. No servers holding your chats. No phone numbers. Nobody can look you up. No one in the middle.

Built to be untouchable

The strongest design available today — the protocol can't realistically be broken; your only weak point is an unlocked, stolen device, and even that is covered.

post-quantum

ML-KEM-768 + X25519

Hybrid encryption with the 2024 NIST standard. Messages captured today can't be opened tomorrow, even by quantum computers.

rfc 9420

MLS end-to-end

The newest messaging-security standard: forward secrecy and self-healing after any compromise, for chats and groups.

zero servers

Lives on your devices

No company server stores your messages. Offline delivery uses your own personal mailbox, which only ever sees encrypted blobs.

no metadata

Onion-routed

Traffic goes over Tor, so not even your internet provider can see who you talk to.

identity

No lookups, no numbers

Your username is just how you're shown — nobody can search it or add you with it. You add people only face-to-face or through one-time codes that die after one use.

on device

Locked & memory-safe

Encrypted local storage behind a PIN, disappearing messages, and a core written in Rust.

Adding someone is a human act

There is no search bar for people. Trust starts in person.

Rotating QR

Show a living QR code that changes every minute. One scan, one contact — then it expires.

Invite file

Send a tiny one-time invite file through any channel. Only Synapsis can open it, and only once.

NFC tap

Bring two Android phones together. A one-use handshake links you — it can't be copied or replayed.

Your vibe, same controls

Every theme changes colors, sounds, fonts, emoticons and the nudge animation — but every button stays exactly where it is. Try them:

Yes, nudges are back.
everywhere

One account, any device

Windows, Linux, Android, Termux or a plain SSH terminal. macOS, iPhone and linking two devices to one account are coming.

drop & send

Files, voice, pictures

Drag files in, record voice notes, share photos and animated stickers — on any device that can handle them.

off-grid

Mesh mode later

Coming later: pair a LoRa/Meshtastic radio and keep texting with no internet at all.
