Private by design.

Post-quantum encrypted No phone number No server

What it does

Three things. All private.

Messages

End-to-end encrypted with post-quantum cryptography. No phone number required. No server ever sees your messages. Delivered directly between devices.

Payments

Private transfers to your contacts. No payment processor sees who paid whom. Payments route through the same encrypted channel as your messages.

Files

Encrypted direct transfers up to any size. EXIF metadata stripped automatically. Distributed storage across the network. AirDrop without the cloud.

Why it matters

Your conversations
are not a product.

Every “free” messenger pays its bills by knowing you — who you talk to, when, and about what. RVNT can’t sell what it never holds: no account, no contact graph, no message sitting on any server we run.

How it works

Your Messages Never Touch Our Servers

When you send a message, it is encrypted on your device using the Double Ratchet algorithm with post-quantum ML-KEM-768 key exchange. The ciphertext routes through the Tor anonymity network — three privacy layers minimum — and arrives directly at your contact's device.

Our servers help devices find each other. They never see message content, sender identity, recipient identity, or metadata. They cannot be compelled to hand over what they do not have.

Who it's for

For the moments where privacy isn't optional

Journalists & sources

Protect a source whose safety depends on no one ever knowing you spoke.

Activists & organizers

Coordinate under surveillance without leaving a social graph to subpoena.

Lawyers & clients

Privilege that actually holds — there’s no server to compel.

Travelers & borders

A duress PIN and panic mode for the checkpoint where you can’t say no.

Everyone else

Because private communication shouldn’t require a reason in the first place.

By the numbers

Proof, not promises

522+ tests passing
91.6% test coverage
226M+ fuzz runs, zero crashes

Open source

Every Line Is Public

RVNT's cryptographic implementation, network layer, and server infrastructure are open source. You do not have to trust us. You can read it, run it, audit it, and build it yourself.

Nothing to seize

No server to raid.
No company to subpoena.

RVNT is peer-to-peer — your messages travel directly between devices and live only on them. There is no inbox in a data center to seize, and nothing we could be forced to hand over, because we never had it.

Threat model

Honest about what it can't do

What RVNT protects against

  • A server being compromised — we have nothing to give
  • Traffic analysis of your messages — Tor + mixnet
  • Future quantum computers — ML-KEM-768 key exchange
  • Metadata correlation — sealed sender, cover traffic
  • Physical device seizure — SQLCipher encryption, panic mode
  • Border crossing — travel mode (duress PIN)

What it does not

  • A compromised device (if your phone has malware, RVNT cannot protect you)
  • Someone reading over your shoulder
  • A contact who screenshots or forwards your messages
  • Legal orders served to your contacts
  • Global network surveillance with AI pattern matching

An app that honestly describes its limitations is more trustworthy than one that claims to solve everything.
