Spheres v0.3.1 features our most advanced privacy architecture yet.
Every single message uses a unique, ephemeral key. Past message history remains unreadable even if current keys are compromised.
All traffic is masked by multiple peer nodes. Your IP address is never revealed to your contacts or the network infrastructure.
No phone number or email required. Trust your close circle with encrypted fragments of your key via Shamir's Secret Sharing.
Export your entire social network and history into a single, passphrase-secured .spheres file for safe cold storage.
Organize contacts into private circles. You decide exactly which group sees every post through multi-wrapped encryption.
The app automatically strips GPS coordinates and device IDs from media before sharing, preventing accidental location leaks.
Start your private network today. All data stays on your device.
