ignotu
Private one-way messaging
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Send once. They read. No reply thread. End-to-end encrypted one-way messages to people you already know.
ignotu lets you reach people in your contacts without starting a chat thread.
HOW IT WORKS
• Sign in with email OTP — no password
• Match contacts privately with hashed lookups
• Send text, photos, video, voice, or files — one way only
• See delivered and read status on what you send
• Recipients see “Someone in your contacts” or “Anonymous,” never your number in the thread
• Block or report a specific sender
• Invite friends with a link from your usual apps
PRIVACY
Messages are end-to-end encrypted with per-device keys. The relay holds encrypted payloads only until delivery or hold expiry, then deletes them. What you keep on your phone stays on your phone, unless you chose a disappearing option.
NOT A GROUP CHAT. NOT A PUBLIC FEED.
Built for deliberate, one-way notes to people you already know.
