100% peer-to-peer
Cooperative Computing
Other Apps
Most communication software relies on Cloud hosting. In
some cases, the servers needed for hosting may be run by
a random person instead of a company.
Either way, it's
hard to trust it even if it's open source, because we
can't see the code that's actually running on the servers.
Relay App
The protocol used by Relay App, does not require servers or Cloud
services. All the code runs locally on your device or computer. You can even
inspect it.
The entire network is symmetrical —
every peer has the same capabilities. And every peer
works cooperatively to make a robust, highly available network.
Secure & Private
Privacy Preserving
Other Apps
Other apps rely on servers or cloud
services. To preserve privacy, they route messages around a
network of servers in a way that is confusing and difficult
for an adversary to intercept and decipher.
These servers
represent not only points of failure, but also an attack surface
and an economic vulnerability.
Relay App
Messages are sent directly between computers. When other peers are not online, or when networks make it physically impossible to communicate directly, messages are fragmented and randomly distributed across the network in a way that they can't be read by anyone else, but can be discovered and reassembled by the recipient.
open source
Built with Socket runtime.
Build applications for any OS — desktop, mobile, even headless – with security, privacy, and peer-to-peer as first class features.
