How it works
How Morse works
Morse is designed to stay out of the way. No phone number or email to provide. No address book to upload. No SIM card needed.
Just a few deliberate steps that let conversations stay private.
- 01
Secure your account
Optional PIN or biometric protection
✓ Account secured
Setting up the app
When you open Morse for the first time, you can choose a PIN to lock the app, or skip that step. That PIN protects access to the app and secures everything inside it.Your Morse account is created without requiring a phone number or email address. No SIM card is needed: Morse works on Wi-Fi alone.

Your Morse ID
Instead of a phone number, Morse gives you a Morse ID. A username is optional. It's a short ID that represents your device and nothing else. You decide when to share it. You decide who gets it.Without it, no one can contact you.

Hey, I got your message.
Nice. This works great.
Yeah, it does.
Message...Starting a conversation
Conversations on Morse are always intentional. To begin one, you share your Morse ID or scan someone else's QR code. There's no contact syncing. No suggestions. No unexpected messages.If a conversation exists, it's because you chose to start it.
During a conversation
Messages, supported media, stickers, and calls on Morse are end-to-end encrypted. Only the people involved can read, view, or hear the conversation content.
Servers process encrypted delivery data and cannot read the conversation itself.
There's nothing else attached to the conversation beyond the conversation itself.
Group conversations
Group conversations work the same way as one-to-one chats. Invite people directly or use a controlled invite link. Groups are not listed in a public directory.
Everyone in the group is there by choice, and only the group can see what's being said.
What's intentionally left out
There are no feeds, timelines, or recommendations. Nothing watching how you use the app.
A public profile is only there if you want one
It doesn't sync your contacts
It does not build advertising profiles
What isn't collected can't be reused later.
Independent by design
Why Morse is paid
Morse is funded by its users.
Paying keeps Morse independent and keeps its incentives simple.
No ads
No tracking
No reason to treat conversations as data
Simple by design
Morse doesn't try to be invisible. It just stays quiet. You unlock it. You start a conversation. You decide when it ends.
Everything else stays out of the way.
Private by design. Funded by users.
