What is Session? Session is a private messenger app that is built on a unique network of user-operated servers spread all over the world. It is designed to provide complete anonymity to its users, with no central servers to leak or sell their data. The app uses private routing protocols to ensure that messages are completely anonymous, and no one knows who you are talking to, what you are saying, or even your IP address.
- Fully anonymous account creation: No phone number or email needed to create a Session ID
- Decentralised server network: No data breaches, no central point of failure
- No metadata logging: Session doesn't store, track, or log your messaging metadata
- IP address protection: Device IP addresses are never exposed to the person you're talking to or the servers holding your data
- Closed groups: Private, end-to-end encrypted group chats for up to 100 people
- Secure attachments: Share voice snippets, photos, and files with Session's secure encryption and privacy protections
- Free and open-source: Session is free as in free speech, free as in free beer, and free of ads and trackers
- Built and maintained by the OPTF, Australia’s first privacy tech not-for-profit organisation.
- Available for download on iOS and Android platforms.
- Users can also build from source, report a bug, or take a look at the code on Session's GitHub page.

I have had this app since the day it was released and have been very pleased, and impressed, with its performance. I ran into some minor issues with push notifications being delayed on the earliest versions, but these were quickly remedied with new updates. This isn’t the most feature-rich messenger out there and the this app IDs may not be for everyone, but if you’re looking for a well-performing app that subverts the big tech companies harvesting your data, you won’t find better. I fully expect that with time it will only get better. I’ve been a believer in the Loki project since it got started and am really impressed with this product running on the network. As others have said, this is surely the future of secure communication.

Knowing the vulnerabilities of conventional messengers, I’m very happy to see this app come from Loki. I’ve been on boarding friends, it’s pretty easy to set up, and very intuitive to use thereafter. Great to see that privacy doesn’t have to be insanely complicated! Thanks for all the hard work! Update: I’ve been having trouble getting notifications to work. Messages won’t appear until I open the app. Not sure if this is a bug, or stupidity on my part. Turned on notifications in settings for phone, and in app. Update on update: issue seems resolved, and very well explained as to why push notifications weren’t used. The option to use them is now available. Really amazing work to this app, and Loki. Keep it up!

It’s high time we can interact without some corporation or entity somehow learning everything about us, and this app delivers. No phone number or email on signup, which took 0 seconds. Nobody in my business or my personal life. I’ll be migrating my small business team here and then chipping away at my friends as well, starting at the early adopters. It’s a new app and I wouldn’t call it a finished product at this point. But if you value your privacy and data more than the bells & whistles that haven’t yet arrived, then it’s already there.
