Horizon Connect: Secure Chat
Private, Intentional Messaging
$4.99 · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
True privacy starts with who you connect with. Add contacts in person, message with Signal Protocol encryption. No accounts, no phone numbers, no metadata.
Horizon Connect is a secure messaging app that puts privacy and intentional connections first. Unlike other messaging apps, you can only connect with people you meet in person — no phone numbers, no random friend requests.
KEY FEATURES:
• End-to-End Encryption: Every message is encrypted using the Signal Protocol, the gold standard in secure messaging. Not even we can read your messages.
• In-Person Key Exchange: Connect with friends by meeting them in person and exchanging keys via Bluetooth. This ensures you always know who you're talking to.
• Ephemeral by Default: Messages disappear after 24 hours unless both parties agree to keep them. You control your conversation history.
• No Account Required: No phone number, no email, no personal information needed. Your identity is a cryptographic key stored securely on your device.
• Small Groups: Create intimate group chats with 2-10 people. No massive group chaos — just meaningful conversations.
• Zero Metadata: We don't log who talks to whom, when, or how often. Your social graph stays private.
Horizon Connect is for people who value genuine connections and privacy. Whether you're a journalist protecting sources, an activist organizing safely, or simply someone who believes privacy is a right, Horizon Connect is built for you.
