BitChat is a decentralized, peer-to-peer encrypted messaging app built by Jack Dorsey’s Permissionless Tech. It uses Bluetooth Low Energy mesh networking to relay messages without internet, servers, accounts, or phone numbers. Messages are end-to-end encrypted (Curve25519 + AES‑GCM) and the app includes a panic mode to erase data quickly.

  • End-to-end encryption using Curve25519 and AES‑GCM
  • Password‑protected chat channels and anonymous sign‑up
  • Panic mode: triple‑tap logo erases all local data instantly
  • Cross-platform compatibility with iOS, Android, and macOS
  • Designed for privacy, anti-censorship, and delay-tolerant messaging
