Private chats you control.
Hushpiper is a messenger that doesn't need your phone number. Everything you send is end-to-end encrypted, and every chat has its own privacy rules: you decide who sees what.
Free, for Android, Windows and your web browser. iPhone coming soon.See what it's like
The real app, with made-up people. It looks and works the same on Android, on Windows and in your browser.
Your chats, your rules
No phone number and no ads. Each chat has its own privacy rules, and your messages are end-to-end encrypted.
Groups and calls
Polls and events for your groups, and encrypted voice and video calls.
On your computer too
The Windows app, or any web browser. Sign in by scanning a code with your phone.
Made for privacy, not for ads
No phone number needed, no ads, no tracking. Your contacts are only checked if you ask, and never kept. The server passes on sealed messages it can't open and forgets them once they're delivered.
No phone number needed
Sign up with a username. Your number stays yours.

A sound for each chat
Give each chat its own notification sound.
Straight answers
Every messenger needs to know something to deliver your messages. Here is the short version of what ours can and can't see.
We can't see
- What you write, send or say on a call
- Your photos, videos, voice notes, files and stickers
- Your hidden chats, your contacts' names for you, your backups
- Where you are when you share your location
We do know
- Your username, and your display name and picture if you add them
- Which chats you're in and roughly when messages are sent, so we can deliver them
- What you send to the optional AI assistant
- A message you report, and the 4 before it, so our moderators can act
The full list, and why, is in our privacy policy.
