Cryptwire is peer-to-peer messaging: no server stores your chats, every conversation is encrypted with Double Ratchet and verified in person with anti-interception SAS emoji. On iPhone, iPad, Android and desktop.
The best encryption is useless if someone is in the middle. Cryptwire shows you, with 6 emoji, that no one is intercepting the conversation.
Every message gets a new key via the Double Ratchet (X3DH) protocol. Even if one key were compromised, the following ones stay secure: complete forward secrecy.
Six emoji generated from the key fingerprints. You compare them by voice or in person with your contact: if they match, the line is clean. No man-in-the-middle possible.
Messages travel over WebRTC data channels directly between devices. The signaling server only acts as a relay to start the connection, never to store it.
Burn-after-read: messages that self-destruct after being read. Attached files, photos and audio travel encrypted and stay only where you decide.
Your keys and history live in an encrypted IndexedDB vault on your device. No account, no email, no mandatory phone number.
The same app on iPhone, iPad, Android and desktop (Windows/Linux via Electron). The same contact, the same level of encryption, on every screen.
On iPhone for fast chatting, on iPad to enjoy the conversation with more breathing room. Same interface, same encryption.
Three steps, no technical expertise. If the emoji match, the conversation is private.
From your key and your contactโs, Cryptwire derives a unique cryptographic fingerprint for the pair.
The fingerprint becomes six emoji, identical for both devices: no numbers to copy, no long codes.
You read them to your contact (in person or by phone). If theyโre identical, the line is clean. Different? Someone is in the middle.
A single Cryptwire identity you can carry across phone, tablet and desktop.
