Channel Version Published

Privacy-focused Tor messenger

This is an unofficial snap, one of the known bugs is not being able to upload images when you enable the experimental feature.

Cwtch (/kʊtʃ/ - a Welsh word roughly translating to “a hug that creates a safe place”) is a decentralized, privacy-preserving, multi-party messaging protocol that can be used to build metadata resistant applications.

Decentralized and Open Participants in Cwtch can host their own safe spaces, or lend their infrastructure to others seeking a safe space. There is no “Cwtch service” or “Cwtch network”. The Cwtch protocol is open, and anyone is free to build bots, services and user interfacesand integrate and interact with Cwtch.

Privacy Preserving All communication in Cwtch is end-to-end encrypted and takes place over Tor v3 onion services.

Metadata Resistant Cwtch has been designed such that no information is exchanged or available to anyone without their explicit consent, including on-the-wire messages and protocol metadata.
