Messaging that protects more than just messages

End-to-end encryption secures message content — but not everything around it. Sanchr extends privacy to contact discovery, media, and cryptographic state.

Read the Paper

Limited early access. We're onboarding gradually and welcome critical feedback.

Encryption isn't enough

Most messaging apps protect messages — but still expose:

  • Contact graphs
  • Media access
  • Metadata patterns

Security stops at messages. The rest remains vulnerable.

We treat time as a security boundary.

No cryptographic material is both cross-domain and persistent.

Three defenses, one enforcement layer

Private Contact Discovery

OPRF-based PSI to prevent enumeration and metadata leakage. The server sees only blinded points — never phone numbers.

Forward-Secure Media Encryption

Media keys bound to the ratchet lifecycle, not stored indefinitely. Keys are erased at each step; re-access uses device-local AccessK with a 30-day TTL.

Ephemeral Key Framework

System-wide lifecycle enforcement for all cryptographic state. Every material gets a class, a TTL, and an enforced expiration policy.

We're building a privacy-first messaging system and onboarding users carefully. We're especially interested in:

  • Security researchers
  • Engineers
  • People who care deeply about privacy
