End-to-end encryption
Every message, call and file is encrypted on your device with the Double Ratchet protocol. Only you and your contacts hold the keys.

Built for privacy
Everything you need, nothing you don't.
A pragmatic messenger for the crypto-native generation — focused on confidentiality, ownership, and zero metadata.
Decentralized routing
Messages hop between independently operated relays. No single point of surveillance, censorship, or failure.
No phone number
Identify yourself with a public key or a handle. No SIM card, no carrier, no personal data leak.
Self-destructing messages
Per-message timers and disappearing chats ensure nothing lives longer than you want it to.
Onion routing
Multi-hop delivery through relay nodes means your IP, geography and timing stay private — even from the relays.
Open protocol
The Potato protocol is open, documented and auditable. Build your own client or integrate existing ones.
End-to-end encrypted
Every byte is sealed twice.
A modern, audited stack: Curve25519 for key agreement, XChaCha20-Poly1305 for symmetric encryption, and the Double Ratchet algorithm for forward secrecy.
- Forward secrecyEvery key is short-lived — compromised keys never expose past or future messages.
- Post-compromise securitySelf-healing sessions: even after a leak, the next message restores full security.
- PFS key ratchetEphemeral keys refreshed every message, every call, every file transfer.
- Zero metadataRelays never see who you talk to, when, or how often. Sealed envelope, end of story.
