Glow: Secure Chat
Private encrypted messaging
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Glow is a private, invite-only messenger built around end-to-end encryption. Your messages, photos, and group chats are encrypted on your device and can only be read by the people you're talking to — not the server, and not us.
FEATURES
- End-to-end encrypted 1-on-1 and group chats
- Invite-only: you join through a trusted invite code, so there's no open directory of users
- Photo sharing, replies, reactions, and read receipts
- Face ID / Touch ID to keep the app locked on your device
- Rich notifications that are decrypted on your device — notification servers only ever see ciphertext
- Available in English and Chinese
PRIVACY BY DESIGN
Glow stores only encrypted data on its server. Message contents are never visible to the server or to us. There are no ads and no third-party trackers.
Glow is for people who want calm, private conversations with the people who matter — nothing more.
