iPhone
Anonymous, end-to-end encrypted messaging by default. No phone number, no email, no real name. Zero metadata on the server. Open-source and auditable.
AegisLink is an end-to-end encrypted messaging app that is anonymous by
default and designed not to store metadata—neither who you talk to, when,
nor how often.
NO PERSONAL DATA REQUIRED TO START
Sign up without a phone number, email, or real name. Your cryptographic
identity is generated and stays on your device: the private key never
leaves your iPhone.
TRUE END-TO-END ENCRYPTION
Every conversation uses Double Ratchet + X3DH (the same cryptographic
design as Signal), with manual verification via QR code or an 8-word
security phrase. If your contact's key changes, we notify you before
you continue the conversation.
ZERO METADATA ON THE SERVER
The relay forwards encrypted messages it cannot read and does not store
who you talk to, when, or how often. Sealed-sender by default: not even
the relay itself knows who is sending each message.
SELF-DESTRUCTING MESSAGES
Chat-specific timers, "view-once" messages, and scheduled messages.
ENCRYPTED VOICE AND VIDEO CALLS
1:1 and group calls over WebRTC with DTLS-SRTP, featuring live
fingerprint verification during the call and native CallKit integration
for VoIP calls that are as seamless as standard calls.
PRIVATE GROUPS
Groups with roles (admin/mod/member) and anonymous voting for
group decisions.
PANIC MODE
A configurable gesture instantly deletes your chats or opens a decoy
account using a duress PIN—so others see nothing.
MULTIPLE IDENTITIES
Isolated profiles (e.g., personal and work) on the same device,
each with its own keys.
YOUR KEYS, YOUR DEVICE
Each linked device has its own key; revoking one instantly renders
its new messages unreadable. Optional encrypted backup where
only you hold the key.
OPEN SOURCE AND AUDITABLE
All cryptography is open source and verifiable by third parties.
KNOWN LIMITATIONS (read these before trusting it with sensitive data)
— The cryptography has NOT yet undergone a full, independent
external audit (one is planned; track the current status in the repository).
— The cryptography runs on JavaScript/Hermes, not in a dedicated
native enclave; performance on very low-end devices may be limited.
— Service operated by a single maintainer in one region; occasional
relay interruptions may occur (messages are not lost: they
are retried upon reconnection).
AegisLink does not ask for your contact details, does not sell data, and cannot read your messages.

What's new in AegisLink 1.0.8
More reliable groups
Removing a member now really works. The removed person can no longer send or receive messages and keeps the history as read-only.
Deleting a group deletes it for everyone, and it no longer comes back.
Admins and moderators now have real permissions: add, remove, rename and accept join requests, as set by the owner.
If you require approval before joining groups, the invitation now shows up in the chat with the person who invited you, with Join and Decline buttons, and you get a notification.
Connection
The app reconnects on its own when you switch networks (Wi-Fi ↔ mobile data).
No more "registration failed" warning when your identity is already registered.
Navigation
Swipe from the left edge to go back to the previous screen.
Invites
Invite a friend from Privacy, with or without your contact link.
Important fix
Fixed an issue where, after using more than one profile, the app could get stuck on "Initializing secure storage" and not let you create or open your account.
