Private messaging

Your conversations. Truly private.

iCanText is a messaging service that works without a central server. No one can read, store or analyse your conversations. Not even us.

Privacy by design

The limits of traditional messaging

Your current messaging services are watching you

Every message, every photo and every call you make on traditional apps is analysed. Not just the content, but also who you contact, when, and how often. This information is used to build your advertising profile, to influence what you see, and it is stored on servers that are vulnerable to hacking and to government requests.

Diagram of the problem: a phone sends a message to a central server, which forwards it to the recipient's phone. The content is encrypted, but the server harvests metadata (contacts, timing, frequency, device) and stores it in a database.
The iCanText solution

iCanText is different, by design

Three simple pillars that make all the difference.

  • No central server

    Your messages travel directly from one device to another. There is no intermediary. It is like talking to someone face to face, but across the world. The most secure server is the one that doesn't exist.

  • No account, no trace

    No need for a phone number, an email address or a profile. Your identity is protected by a key that only you possess. You can even create a disposable identity that disappears at the end of the conversation.

  • Total confidentiality

    Not only are your messages unreadable to anyone else, thanks to end-to-end encryption, but our technology also masks who is talking to whom. We protect both the letter and the envelope.

The most secure server is the one that doesn't exist.

Who is it for?

Confidentiality is not just for experts

iCanText suits anyone who has something to protect.

For your personal conversations

Communicate with your friends and family with peace of mind, knowing that your private moments will remain just that. Share photos, plans and secrets without an algorithm watching you.

For your groups and communities

Create private spaces for your club, association or team. You can protect access with a simple password and be sure that only invited members can take part.

For demanding professionals

Lawyers, journalists and executives: discuss sensitive topics knowing that your communications are protected at the highest level, safe from leaks and industrial espionage.

How does it work?

Three steps, and that is all

iCanText works directly in your browser. No installation and no complicated update.

  1. Create or join a workspace

    A workspace has a simple name that you choose.

    Home screen of the demo workspace, with its channels, its direct messages and the button to leave the workspace
  2. Invite your contacts

    Share a link: they join your workspace in seconds, with no email address or phone number exchanged.

    Private thread in iCanText: a message received, then a reply sent with an attachment
  3. Communicate

    Write, send images and files, reply in the thread. Each message travels from your device to your correspondent's, encrypted end to end, without passing through a server.
