Use cases
Who is RVNT for?
Privacy isn’t one threat model. Here’s how RVNT’s real features — no phone number, peer-to-peer, Tor by default, duress & panic defenses — map to specific situations, and where it isn’t the right tool.
Journalists & Sources For reporters and whistleblowers, the danger is rarely the message text — it's the metadata trail that links a source to a journalist, the subpoena that asks the journalist to hand it over, and the seized phone at a checkpoint. See how → Activists & protesters For organizers and protesters who carry their phone into a crowd that may be surveilled, kettled, or arrested — RVNT pairs end-to-end encryption with on-device coercion defenses, but it is one layer in a plan that starts with leaving the device at home. See how → Travelers & Border Crossings For travelers facing device searches and compelled unlocks at borders, RVNT pairs on-device coercion defenses — a duress decoy PIN and cryptographic panic wipe — with an architecture that keeps nothing on a server to subpoena. But the single thing that actually protects you at a checkpoint is data minimization: the only data that can't be compelled off your phone is data that isn't on it. See how → Lawyers & legal teams For attorneys protecting attorney-client privilege: end-to-end-encrypted, peer-to-peer messaging and file transfer where the network learns who you represent only if you let it — and where there is no central content store to subpoena. See how → Business & remote teams RVNT gives small businesses and distributed teams end-to-end-encrypted messaging and large-file sharing with no phone-number onboarding and no central server holding your content — but it is a pre-release, unaudited tool with no admin console and no compliance certifications, so it is not a drop-in enterprise IT product. See how → Executives & high-value targets If you are a deliberately chosen target — for your access, your deals, or your net worth — RVNT removes the phone number that SIM-swap attackers hijack and adds on-device defenses for when the threat is physical. It is pre-release and unaudited, so read the honest caveats before you rely on it. See how →
