Shadow is a private, secure-mode messenger built for conversations that should never be stored. Messages are end-to-end encrypted, self-destruct on a timer, and are wiped the instant they're read. No history, no archive — just the conversation, then nothing.
Get early access →Most messengers keep your conversations forever. Shadow is built to do the opposite — to remember nothing.
Every message is encrypted on your device. It's designed so that not even our servers can read your conversations.
Messages live on a timer. When it runs out — or the moment they're read — they're gone for good.
No chat history sits on a server waiting to leak. Once a message is delivered and read, it's erased.
You're an Agent with a codename — not a profile tied to your real name. Identities stay out of your conversations.
Built so a conversation can simply vanish when it's over.
Sign in and get a codename. No public profile, no phone number on display.
Everything is encrypted on your device before it ever leaves your phone.
Read once, then erased — on a timer you control. No trail left behind.
The details that make Shadow feel like a true secure channel.
The system is designed so the server doesn't even know who sent a message — only you and your contact do.
If someone screenshots or screen-records a conversation, you're warned that the transmission was compromised.
Optional backups are locked with a key derived from your PIN — only you can ever open them.
Send a Pulse to get someone's attention, or a priority alert when a message truly can't wait.
Shadow also has a built-in way to connect: Operación Conexión — a light compatibility game where two agents each answer five questions, then reveal how closely they match. A playful way to break the ice before a real conversation begins.
Built for iPhone, with native push notifications. The connection game is a social feature and works separately from the encrypted messaging.
Shadow is in active development. If you need a messaging channel that remembers nothing, get in touch and we'll bring you in.
