Security on Morse Messenger

Security

Private by design. Secure by default.

Morse is built so that no one, not even us, can read your messages. End-to-end encryption, on-device keys, and no phone number, from the very first message.

Encryption

Encryption you don't have to think about

It is on by default, everywhere. Your messages, media and calls are protected from your device to your contact's.

End-to-end encryption

Messages, media, stickers and calls are encrypted on your device and decrypted only on your contact's.

Post-quantum protection

Key exchange is hardened with ML-KEM, so today's messages stay private against tomorrow's computers.

Keys stay on your device

Your encryption keys never leave your phone. There is no cloud copy to steal or subpoena.

Built on the Signal Protocol

Morse builds on the battle-tested Signal Protocol for message and call encryption.

Identity

You, not your identity

Morse is designed to know as little about you as possible, starting with never asking for your number.

No phone number

Create an account with no phone number, email, or real name. Just a Morse ID.

Data-minimizing by design

No address-book upload, no public directory, no ads, and no behavioral profiling.

Private notifications

Previews are delivered so their contents never reach a push server in the clear.

We can't read your messages

Our servers only relay encrypted data. We couldn't read your chats if we tried.

On your device

Locked down, right in your hand

Protection doesn't stop at the network. Morse secures your conversations on the device too.

App lock

Protect the app with a PIN or biometrics so only you can open it.

At-rest encryption

Your local message store is encrypted on the device and tied to your unlock.

Disappearing messages

Set conversations to erase themselves automatically after they are read.

Screenshot protection

An optional privacy screen helps stop screenshots and shoulder-surfing.

Privacy that doesn't rely on trust.

It is built into the system. Morse is funded by the people who use it, so protecting you is the whole business model.
