A new look across the app and a set of everyday messaging features.
Interface
- Home screen with Chats, Contacts and Settings tabs, a large title,
search across chats and message text (diacritics-insensitive), filters
and pinned chats.
- Conversation view with a translucent header and composer, grouped
bubbles, author avatars and colours in groups, swipe to reply, an
"N new messages" marker, a jump-to-latest button and in-chat search.
- Contact and group profiles: verification, shared photos, groups in
common, disappearing messages, mute, block; members, admin badges,
adding people, rename and leave for groups.
- Full-screen photo viewer that pages through the whole conversation.
- A stable avatar colour per person and a clearly visible read state.
Messaging
- Polls in chats and groups, single or multiple choice, with votes that
can be changed or withdrawn; older clients see them as text.
- Drafts survive leaving a chat and show in the chat list.
- Forwarding of messages, photos, files and voice messages.
- Notes to self: a local-only, encrypted chat that never reaches the
relay.
- @mentions in groups that notify even when the group is muted.
- Typing indicators sent as ephemeral messages, opt-in and mutual like
read receipts.
- Delivery and read times per message and per group member.
- Profile photos, cropped, resized and stripped of metadata, delivered
encrypted to contacts.
- Voice message playback at 1.5x and 2x.
- Call buttons in 1:1 chats and call log entries.
Fixes
- Muted groups no longer notify: muting was checked against the
author's chat instead of the group.
- A blocked contact could unblock itself by changing its delivery
address.
- Read receipts no longer regress to delivered when a late delivery
receipt arrives.
- A message marked as failed corrects itself once it is delivered.
- Double ticks in groups now mean delivered to every member.
Registration failures from the distributor were swallowed, so push looked
enabled while nothing arrived. Without wake-ups Android suspends the app
and messages only show up once the user opens it — which looks like broken
delivery even though the relay has them queued.
The failure is now remembered and surfaced in Settings, and the chat list
carries a dismissible line explaining the state.
Initial public release. Anonymous on-device identity (no phone number,
e-mail, or password), Signal-protocol cryptography (X3DH + PQXDH, Double
Ratchet, sealed sender) via libsignal, a metadata-minimizing relay,
group chats, disappearing messages, encrypted local storage, optional
Tor transport, and a UI localized into Czech, English, German, Russian,
and Italian.
Monorepo: Flutter client (app/), Rust relay + wire types (rust/),
protobuf definitions (proto/), self-host deploy (deploy/).
