Decentralized E2EE messaging that's quiet, fast, and sovereign.
HushNet puts privacy and control back in your hands: deploy on your own servers, modern protocol (X3DH + Double Ratchet), multi-device by design, and a minimalist UX.
Sovereignty
Keep your data on infrastructure you control.
Performance
Rust backend, Flutter clients, efficient crypto.
Interoperability
Clear API, federation planned.
Silent. Secure. Sovereign.
HushNet is a privacy-first messaging platform built for those who want control — not compromise. Everything is end-to-end encrypted, self-hostable, and open to audit. No emails, no phone numbers, no passwords — only cryptographic trust.
Security first
Based on modern cryptographic standards: X3DH for authenticated key exchange and Double Ratchet for forward and post-compromise secrecy. Each message uses a unique symmetric key derived from prior exchanges.
Self-hostable
Deploy your own node in minutes with docker-compose up. All data stays on your servers, under your encryption keys — no third-party dependencies. Federation support is planned for seamless inter-node messaging.
Modern UX
Minimalist interface, smooth animations, and a focus on speed and accessibility. Works across mobile and desktop, synchronizing devices securely via encrypted sessions.
Zero identifiable data
HushNet never asks for your phone number, email, or password. Authentication is entirely public-key based, making your identity both anonymous and verifiable.
Privacy by design
Messages, files, and metadata are encrypted end-to-end. Even your host node cannot read content or map users together. No analytics, no ads, no tracking — ever.
Open source core
Every component — backend, protocol, and client — is openly auditable and MIT-licensed. Transparency and reproducibility are part of the security model.
