Berty is an open, secure, offline-first, peer-to-peer and zero trust messaging app. Berty is an encrypted and offline peer-to-peer messenger with no central server. Connect with or without an internet connection, message for free, and avoid surveillance and censorship. Berty is fresh off the development line and hasn’t been audited yet. Please keep this in mind when exchanging data. In some countries, even a lol or a like can get you sent to jail. Berty is end-to-end encrypted - not even our developers could access your data, let alone corporations or governments. Just like blockchain technologies, Berty doesn’t pass your data through central servers - the place where internet service providers, hackers, and governments can intercept your data. Instead, Berty’s network is distributed, based on P2P direct messaging. Berty couldn’t care less about who you are. You don’t need to provide your real name, an email, or a date of birth. You don’t even need a SIM card!
