ChatZeee

Invite-only anonymous encrypted messaging. No phone number, no email, and no names.

End-to-end encrypted messaging

Platforms: iOS / Web

The problem

We live in a world today where everything is getting hacked, yet most messaging apps still require a phone number, email, or real name. ChatZeee is an invite-only, encrypted anonymous messaging system built so you stay anonymous even if the servers get compromised.

The goal

Talk privately without ever handing over who you are.

Engineering contribution

Invite-only anonymous enrollment with zero personal identifiers, Apple Secure Enclave P-256 device keys, out-of-band QR verification, EXIF-scrubbed media encryption, and a zero-knowledge ciphertext relay.

Device identity

Each iOS device generates hardware-bound P-256 signing keys in the Secure Enclave and verifies append-only Key Transparency log heads and safety numbers.

Client encryption

Client cryptography handles ephemeral P-256 ECDH key wrapping, AES-256-GCM message and attachment sealing, in-memory EXIF/GPS stripping, and encrypted recovery vaults.

Ciphertext delivery

The relay stores only ciphertext envelopes, enforces epoch sequencing and burn-on-read expiration, dispatches opaque push wakeups, and shreds encrypted attachment blobs on redaction.

Delivery stage: Beta Testing
