Signal Encryption
Every message uses the Signal Protocol: X3DH key exchange plus Double Ratchet. Zero knowledge. Not even we can read your chats.
Fully Encrypted · Zero Knowledge
A New Way
to Yap.
End-to-end encrypted messages, voice Yaps, video Clips, and live canvases, all in one place. Not even we can read your chats.
Free forever. No credit card required.
Encrypted, end to end
See the room before you move in.
Servers, DMs, voice Yaps, and live canvases in one window. Every message below is ciphertext on our servers; it only becomes readable on the devices in the conversation.
Every feature you came for,
encrypted by default.
The chat features you already rely on, with the encryption running quietly underneath every one of them.
Servers & Channels
Create community spaces with text, voice, and media channels. Sender Keys make group E2EE as fast as unencrypted, so a 500-person channel stays as snappy as a DM.
Video Clips
Send short encrypted video messages up to 60 seconds. Client-side AES-256-GCM encryption before upload.
Cross-Platform
On the web and on macOS, Windows, and Linux today, with iOS and Android coming soon. Your chats follow you everywhere.
Parental Controls
Parents see only metadata, never message content. Friend requests and server joins for a child need a guardian to approve them first.
Custom Bots
Build or import bots to automate moderation, run games, or bridge other services. Bring your Discord bots across with the built-in importer.
Live Canvas
Draw on the same page, in real time.
Open a shared canvas inside any DM or channel and sketch together as it happens. You see each other's cursors and strokes the instant they land. Every stroke is encrypted before it leaves your device.
- Live cursors with names, no refresh
- Pen, shapes, and sticky notes
- End-to-end encrypted, like everything else
Voice Yaps
Say it faster than you could type it.
Hold to record, release to send. Scrub the waveform to find a moment, bump to 2× when you're in a hurry, and let it auto-delete once it's been heard. The audio is encrypted end to end before it uploads.
- Waveform scrubbing and 2× playback
- Auto-delete after listening
- AES-256-GCM, encrypted on your device

Three steps to your first
encrypted message.
01
Create your account
Sign up with email or continue with Discord or Google. Your identity keys are generated on your device; we never see them.
02
Add your people
Invite friends via link, username, or QR code. Join community servers to find your crowd. Each connection gets its own encrypted channel.
03
Start yapping
Text, voice, video, canvas: all E2EE, all on one screen. Available now on the web and desktop, with iOS and Android coming soon.
End-to-End Encrypted
We literally can't read your messages.
Yapper uses the Signal Protocol, the same cryptography trusted by Signal, WhatsApp, and Google Messages. Messages are encrypted on your device before they leave it, and decrypted only on the recipient's device.
- Keys generated on your device, never sent to our servers
Parental Controls
Kids welcome. Parents in control.
E2EE is inviolable: parents can never read their child's messages, and that's a feature. What parents can do is control who their children connect with.
- Friend requests to children require parent approval
- Server joins by children require parent approval before membership
- Screen time limits via iOS DeviceActivity & Android UsageStats (with the mobile apps, coming soon)
- Parents see only metadata: who messaged, never what
Available everywhere
