About plaintxt | anonymous messaging
NO IDENTITY REQUIRED
• no phone number, no email, no real name
• create an identity in seconds — a username and a key made on your device
• burn your identity any time: everything tied to it is erased and the username is released
END-TO-END ENCRYPTED
• messages and files are encrypted on your device before they leave it
• the server stores ciphertext it cannot read
• your private key never leaves your device — stored encrypted by the Android Keystore, excluded from backups
YOU DECIDE WHAT STAYS
• messages stay until you delete them — no timer you didn't choose
• deleting a message, a conversation or your whole identity is a hard delete, with no trash and no backup to restore from
• burn-after-read is available as an opt-in per conversation on paid plans
• unused free identities are removed after 180 days of inactivity
BUILT FOR REAL CONVERSATIONS

• one-time invite links, QR codes, or share through any app you already use
• encrypted photo and file sharing
• real-time delivery with typing and read indicators
• seven themes plus a high-contrast mode
PRIVATE BY ARCHITECTURE, NOT BY PROMISE
