How it works
Three steps. Nothing about you.
- 1
Pick a username
One permanent username and a strong password. That is the whole sign-up. Your encryption keys are created on your own device.
- 2
Share an invite
Send a private link or show a QR code. Invitations can expire, be single-use or be revoked, and people can join without seeing your username.
- 3
Talk, encrypted
Messages are encrypted on your device with the MLS standard and decrypted only on your contact's. Our servers relay sealed envelopes they cannot read.
Privacy, honestly
We designed Nodz to know as little as possible.
What we never ask for
- Phone number or email address
- Real name, birth date or address
- Social login or identity checks
- Your contact list in readable form: it is encrypted before it leaves your device
- Analytics, advertising trackers or third-party scripts
What the server still has to see
- Your username and public keys, so others can reach you
- Encrypted message envelopes until they are delivered or expire
- When connections happen and how large envelopes are
- Your IP address while connected (not stored in logs)
No messenger can hide every trace of who talks to whom. We minimise what exists and say plainly what remains. Read the privacy policy
Account recovery without email
When you sign up you get a recovery kit. Keep it safe: it is the only way back into your account and encrypted history. We have no back door, so we cannot reset it for you.
