Session

Session

An end-to-end encrypted messenger that minimizes sensitive metadata.

Upvote

Session is a radically private messaging application designed to eliminate metadata collection entirely. Unlike Signal or WhatsApp, it does not require a phone number to register; users are instead assigned a unique alphanumeric ID.

By routing messages through the decentralized Oxen Service Node Network (similar to Tor), Session ensures that your IP address and communication metadata are obscured from both the servers and the person you are messaging.

Key Features

No phone number required for registration
Decentralized onion routing network
End-to-end encryption for all messages
Cross-platform (iOS, Android, Desktop)
Open-source client and server nodes
