Why we are building SimpleX

You were born without an account.

Nobody tracked your conversations. No one drew a map of where you'd been. Privacy was never a feature — it was the way of life.

Then we moved online, and every platform asked for a piece of you — your name, your number, your friends. We accepted that the price of talking to others is letting someone know who we talk to.

There is another way. A network with no phone numbers. No usernames. No accounts. No user identities of any kind. A network that connects people and carries encrypted messages without knowing who is connected.

Not a better lock on someone else's door. Your conversations belong to you, as they had always been before the Internet. The network is not a place you visit — it is a place you create and own.

The oldest human freedom — to speak to another person without being watched — built on infrastructure that cannot betray it.

Be free in your network.
