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 public profile to maintain.
Just a few deliberate steps that let conversations stay private.
Unlocking the app
When you open Morse for the first time, you unlock it with a PIN you choose.
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.

Your Morse ID
Instead of a phone number or username, Morse gives you a Morse ID.
It's a short code 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.
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
Morse has no required public profiles
It doesn't sync your contacts
It does not build advertising profiles
There are no feeds, timelines, or recommendations. Nothing watching how you use the app.
What isn't collected can't be reused later.
Why Morse is paid
Morse is funded by its users.
No ads
No tracking
No reason to treat conversations as data
Paying keeps Morse independent and keeps its incentives simple.
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.
