Keet is the chat app that knows nothing about you — a truly peer-to-peer way to connect. Your messages, files, and calls are shared directly between your devices, never through corporate servers. No central databases. No data mining. No one in the middle. Whether you’re chatting with friends, family, or your team, Keet keeps your conversations private, fast, and completely under your control. TRUE PRIVACY, BY DESIGN No servers. No data stored in the cloud. Messages and calls are end-to-end encrypted and travel only between participants. Not even Keet can access your conversations. FAST, DIRECT CONNECTIONS P2P technology connects you device-to-device, reducing lag and server dependency. Built on next-generation distributed communication protocols. MODERN CHAT FEATURES 1-to-1 and group conversations. HD audio and video calls. File sharing with direct device transfer. Cross-platform support on desktop and mobile. WHY KEET IS DIFFERENT Other apps route your messages through remote data centers. Keet doesn’t. Your chats never touch a server - they stay between you and the people you trust. Your conversations belong to you. Keet just makes them happen - privately, instantly, peer-to-peer. Download Keet and take back control of your communication.

Ok, so it definitely has a few rough points and some bugs that come from time to time due to it still being Beta. Probably deserves a 4 star because of those, but I’ve been waiting for a truly P2P chat app to feel like it just works for the majority of my life, and Keet has done it. In fact some of its little bugs are exactly what makes it so fascinating, that a purely P2P app built on a network of blind forwarding peers works at all, and even to a degree where I have very simple complaints about it not working exactly like some centralized alternative like Telegram or Signal, is rather an incredible feat actually.I use Keet daily, and have been for more than a year now. It is my main work chat environment, and it’s become an essential part of my workflow. More than anything because it’s the safest way to deliver sensitive information or data directly to who I’m talking with. It’s a great secure channel in that way. If you haven’t explored yet, do so. It’s an all around great chat app, but with numerous benefits of it being private and P2P at every layer is hard to beat.

The file sharing is super fast. I do wish that they add an "on boarding experience" it would help with getting others to adopt. I get asked, "How do I message you?" From every person I tell to download Keet. I am looking forwarrd to the direction its headed. Def jump on this!

Great Concept, Encouraging Progress

UPDATED: Keet is a solid chat app with core functionality and minor bugs. The Holepunch team has done fantastic work getting this out there. Software development is always slower than anyone wants if we are honest but this work is encouraging. Excited to see the future of this app. To make this a 5 star I’m really looking to be able to replace other chat apps:- DM support (added in November!)- Auto-deleting/expiring messages (content retention policy)Notifications I expect will continue to improve with improvements to blind forwarding peers. Otherwise, great work! Much improvement has been made since early alphas!

Excellent decentralised app

I admit that it is a very good decentralised app with no middle server.However, I hope that no one is coping the chats or conversations. I would also like to request that the tacnical team improve the connection speed when one user calls another.
