SOVEREIGN MESSAGING · E2EE · SERVERLESS · OFF-GRID

There is
no middle.

Messages nobody in between can read, scan, or block — because nobody is in between. No servers, no accounts, no company. Works over the internet, €30 LoRa radios, or a USB stick in a pocket.

FOUR PRINCIPLES

No one in the middle

Peers talk directly, via volunteer relays holding only sealed ciphertext, or over radio. There is no checkpoint where scanning can be mandated — by architecture, not by policy.

State-of-the-art cryptography

Hybrid post-quantum key agreement (X25519 + ML-KEM-768), Double Ratchet with encrypted headers, XChaCha20-Poly1305 everywhere. Published, audited designs only — no invented primitives.

Off-grid is first-class

When networks are shut off, the same sealed messages ride commodity Meshtastic LoRa radios — kilometres of range, multi-hop, ~€30 hardware — or local links, or file/QR sneakernet.

Your keys, your data

Identity is a keypair you mint yourself — no phone number, no email. History is stored locally, encrypted, exportable, and deletable for real.

ONE SEALED ENVELOPE — FOUR WAYS HOME

ONE ENVELOPE, EVERY CARRIER

Internet — libp2p · QUIC · DHT · relay v2 · hole punching

GLOBAL · MS

LAN — mDNS discovery, direct QUIC on shared Wi-Fi

SITE · MS

BLE — phone-to-phone, no infrastructure at all

~100 M · S

LoRa Mesh — stock Meshtastic radios, multi-hop, ~€30

KM–100 KM · S–H

Sneakernet — sealed .kkb bundles on USB sticks or QR

ANYWHERE · HUMAN

Honest limits.

No honest tool claims to protect everything. Our threat model documents what Komms cannot do as carefully as what it can.

IT PROTECTS

— The content of your messages, against anyone in between
— Recorded-today ciphertext against future quantum computers
— Your history on a lost or stolen locked device
— Your ability to communicate during internet shutdowns

IT CANNOT PROTECT

— A phone that is already hacked or seized unlocked
— The physical fact that a radio transmitted
— You, if your contact shares your messages
— Anonymity against a global passive adversary (yet)

STATUS — MILESTONE M2 OF M6

M0–M2 ✓ — design framework, crypto core, protocol & encrypted storage: built and tested

M3–M4 — internet transport, headless node, Meshtastic bridge

M5–M6 — desktop + mobile apps, external security audit, stores

Why now? The EU's ChatControl regime mandates scanning at the service provider. Komms's answer is architectural: you cannot order a checkpoint installed where no intermediary exists.
