Speek.Chat

Speek.Chat is currently available for OS X (10.12 or later), Linux and Windows. Visit the releases page for the latest version and changelog. Alternatively, the newest version of Speek.Chat is also available on the MacOS Appstore and the Microsoft Store.

Speek is the first messaging app that is anonymous and censorship-resistant by design. In addition, it makes no compromise on ease-of-use and is as easy to use as popular messaging applications.

Though, in comparison to popular messaging applications like Telegram, WhatsApp and Signal, Speek is by far the most secure way to converse. Speek is serverless, stores no metadata, requires no ID or phone number and all messages are end-to-end encrypted and routed via the Tor network. This makes it possible that IP addresses are never public and users can stay anonymous.

The users are only identified with public keys. Each user can share their public key with others to add them to the contacts list.

  • You can chat without exposing your identity (or IP address) to anyone
  • Nobody can discover who your contacts are or when you talk (metadata-free!)
  • There are no servers or operators that could be compromised, exposing your information.
  • It's cross-platform and easy for non-technical users.

How it works

Speek.Chat is a peer-to-peer instant messaging system built on the Tor Network hidden services. Your login is your hidden service address, and contacts connect to you (not an intermediate server) through Tor. The rendezvous system makes it extremely hard for anyone to learn your identity from your address.

Speek.Chat is not affiliated with or endorsed by The Tor Project.
