Independent on purpose
No venture capital, no growth team, no surveillance business model. The thing that pays for most "free" apps — knowing everything about you — is the exact thing RVNT exists to make impossible.
About Built in the open,
Built in the open,
by people who'd rather stay out of it.
RVNT is a fully peer-to-peer, end-to-end-encrypted messenger, file-sharing tool, and payments platform — no central servers for your content, ever. It's a security-first project built to be right, not fast.
Why we don't put our names on it
This is a privacy project. It would be strange to ask you to trust a tool for staying out of reach while the people who make it broadcast exactly who they are. So we don't.
Staying pseudonymous isn't a marketing gimmick — it's the same principle the product runs on. It removes a pressure point: there's no single person to lean on, subpoena, or coerce into a backdoor. The work has to stand on what it does, not on who vouches for it. So judge RVNT the right way — read the docs, check the canary, and watch the roadmap. The code is the résumé.
What we believe
No telemetry. None.
We don't measure you, because we built the product so that we can't. There are no analytics, no crash pings tied to you, no cookies on this site. We find out what's broken the old way: you tell us.
Security before features
Real cryptography, in Rust, audited against itself in the open. No placeholder crypto, no "we’ll harden it later." If a feature can’t ship without weakening the threat model, it doesn’t ship.
Built in the open
You can watch it being made. The roadmap is honest, the changelog is generated from real work, and the warrant canary is the first thing to go quiet if anything is ever wrong.
Watch it get built
RVNT is in active development, in public. There's no vaporware here — if it isn't on the changelog, it isn't done.
- Releases & roadmap — exactly what's shipped and what's next.
- The blog — long-form on cryptography, privacy, and the surveillance landscape.
- The docs — how every part actually works, down to the wire format.
- Security & the warrant canary — the trust posture, in the open.
- Community forum — a place to talk, coming soon. Separate sign-in, separate from the app entirely.
