Silence IM: Secure Messenger App

Silence IM is an alternative messenger app that allows you to communicate securely via end-to-end encryption. It protects your texts, calls and files from cybercriminals or eavesdroppers, keeping them private between you and the recipient.

What is Silence IM?

Silence IM is a secure messaging application focused on privacy. It offers encrypted instant messaging for text, voice, images and video clips between devices using Android, Windows, Linux and macOS.

Silence encrypts communications with end-to-end encryption to ensure conversations remain private. It uses the Signal Protocol for messages and Open Whisper Systems technology for calls, both built for secure communications. This makes it very difficult for anyone else, including Silence itself or hackers, to access the content of your messages or calls.

Other key features include encrypted multimedia attachments, file transfers up to 100 MB, customizable notifications, private group chats, encrypted backups only available to the user, and more. Silence is ad-free and does not collect or store metadata about your communications. For those demanding absolute privacy, Silence aims to provide it through open source transparency and encryption.
