MessagingWithout Middlemen
Messages travel directly between devices through Bluetooth, the internet, and anonymous networks. No servers. No accounts. No data collection.
Five Paths. No Infrastructure Required.
From fully peer-to-peer connections like BLE to lightweight relay services, Ekko automatically selects the best available path. You never need to run a server—your messages always find a way.
Bluetooth
Direct device-to-device messaging within 30 feet. No internet needed.
DHT Network
Messages stored on a global peer-to-peer network. No central server.
Tor Onion
Anonymous connections through 3 encrypted hops. IP addresses hidden.
QUIC Relay
NAT-busting P2P connections. Punches through firewalls.
Mesh Gossip
Devices relay encrypted messages for others. Extends reach everywhere.
Privacy by Design
Not privacy by policy. Every architectural decision puts your security first.
No Accounts
Your identity is a cryptographic key generated on your device. No sign-up, no email, no phone number.
End-to-End Encrypted
Every message encrypted with ChaCha20-Poly1305. Per-message forward secrecy with ephemeral ECDH.
Works Offline
Bluetooth messaging works with no internet. Meet in person, exchange messages directly.
Metadata Protected
No server knows who you talk to, when, or how often. Your social graph stays private.
