End-to-end, always
Messages are encrypted on your device and only decrypted on your recipient's. The server relays ciphertext it can't read, then deletes it about five minutes after delivery. There is no plaintext copy to leak, subpoena, or sell.
Qwing encrypts every message, call and file with lattice-based cryptography built to resist quantum computers — no classical fallback, no phone number, no metadata for the server to sell. The structure that protects you is the same structure that will still hold when the machines arrive.
Other apps ask you to believe a privacy policy. Qwing lets you read the bytes. Type any message on the right and watch it become the exact sealed-sender envelope our relay stores — opaque ciphertext, a destination it can't link to you, and a clock counting down to deletion.
on your device — readable plaintext, never leaves encrypted
on our server — this is everything we hold
Most apps ask you to trust their policy. Qwing removes the data they'd have to be trusted with. Four design choices do the work — here's what each one actually means for you.
Messages are encrypted on your device and only decrypted on your recipient's. The server relays ciphertext it can't read, then deletes it about five minutes after delivery. There is no plaintext copy to leak, subpoena, or sell.
Even the relay doesn't learn who's talking to whom. The "from" is sealed inside the encrypted envelope, so the server moves messages without building a social graph. The most valuable surveillance signal — who, and how often — never exists.
Voice, video and file transfers go directly between devices. The server is signaling only — it helps two phones find each other, then steps out. Relaying is a last resort, never the default, so your media doesn't pile up on someone else's hardware.
Sign up with nothing tied to your real-world identity. No SIM, no inbox, no address book upload. You share a contact with a deep link — qwing.app/add/<id> — and that's the only thread that connects you.
The hard part isn't adding features. It's making each one earn the same guarantees as the last. Every surface below runs on the same post-quantum core.
Private threads and groups with the same sealed, end-to-end protection. Plus disappearing messages and view-once media for the things that shouldn't outlive the moment.
disappearing · view-onceVoice and video, encrypted end-to-end and routed peer-to-peer. Compare a short SAS safety phrase out loud to confirm no one is in the middle — verification you can actually hear.
voice · video · SASA private, on-device store for the files and notes you don't want anywhere near a cloud. Encrypted at rest, locked to your device, opened only by you.
on-device · at-restA multi-chain wallet that lives in the same app and the same trust model. Your keys stay on your device — Qwing never holds them, and never can.
multi-chain · self-custodialMove to a new phone by scanning an animated QR code — keys travel directly between your devices, never through a server. A recovery phrase is your backstop if a device is lost.
animated-QR · recovery phraseThe Q-Ratchet rotates keys with every message, so a key stolen today can't unlock yesterday — or tomorrow. Forward secrecy and post-compromise security, on for everyone, with no settings to find.
Q-Ratchet · FS + PCSIt's called harvest-now, decrypt-later: capture encrypted traffic today, store it, and break it once a quantum computer can. Anything protected only by classical math — RSA, elliptic curves — is on borrowed time. Qwing is built on lattice problems chosen precisely because that machine doesn't help an attacker solve them. Encrypt a message in Qwing today, and it's meant to stay private long after the quantum era begins.
No phone number. No email. Install Qwing, share your link, and you're talking inside the lattice in under a minute.
