Encrypted messaging, voice and video calls, group chat, and self-destructing media. Protected by Signal Protocol and locked behind your PIN.
Signal Protocol encryption meets invisible design. Messages, calls, groups, voice memos, photos, and video — all private at every layer.
Your messages are locked behind a secure PIN. No email, no phone number, no identity required. Just a PIN and a 12-word recovery phrase that only you control.
Every message is protected by the Signal Protocol — the same encryption trusted by journalists, activists, and security experts. Forward secrecy means even compromised keys can't unlock past messages.
Every message automatically deletes after being read. Set timers from 5 seconds to 24 hours. A live countdown shows the exact moment it vanishes — from both devices.
Make private voice and video calls with AES-256 encryption. Your calls are encrypted end-to-end — we never hear a word. Both users must have Pro for video.
PROCreate private group conversations with up to 50 members. Every message and photo is encrypted with rotating Sender Keys — if someone leaves, they lose access to future messages.
Record and send encrypted voice messages that self-destruct like text. A visual waveform lets you scrub through playback. Slide to cancel if you change your mind.
theSHFT blocks screenshots and screen recording inside the app. If someone tries to capture your screen, the other person in the conversation is notified instantly.
Enter the duress PIN and theSHFT silently wipes all data — messages, contacts, encryption keys. No confirmation dialogs. No traces left behind.
PROSend photos and videos with the same encryption as text. In groups, media is encrypted with the group's Sender Key. Everything auto-deletes with the message timer.
Lost your phone? Trigger a remote wipe to erase all theSHFT data from the device. Your account can be restored with your 12-word recovery phrase.
Getting started takes less than a minute.
Download theSHFT from the App Store. Set a secure PIN and save your 12-word recovery phrase. No email or phone number needed.
Find people by their username. No phone numbers, no contact list access. Just a username and you're connected with end-to-end encryption.
Send encrypted text, photos, voice memos, and videos. Make encrypted voice and video calls. Create group chats with up to 50 people.
Every message self-destructs after being read. Set timers from 5 seconds to 24 hours. A live countdown shows the exact moment it vanishes from both devices.
theSHFT implements the Signal Protocol — the same end-to-end encryption used by the most trusted messaging apps in the world. Your messages, calls, photos, and voice memos never touch our servers unencrypted.
Our encryption library is open source. Anyone can audit the code that protects your messages. Transparency is not optional when privacy is the product.
Start free. Go Pro when you're ready. One payment, yours forever.
theSHFT uses the Signal Protocol for end-to-end encryption, requires no email or phone number to sign up, and every message self-destructs after being read. Your identity is protected from sign-up to send.
Your 12-word recovery phrase lets you restore your account on a new device. You can also trigger a remote wipe to erase all theSHFT data from the lost device. Without the recovery phrase, your data cannot be accessed.
No. Messages are encrypted on your device before being sent. We use a zero-knowledge architecture — the encryption keys only exist on your device and your contact's device. We have no ability to decrypt your messages, even if compelled by law enforcement.
No. theSHFT blocks screenshots and screen recording inside the app. If someone manages to take a screenshot, the other person in the conversation is notified immediately. Your privacy is protected at every layer.
The Duress PIN is your emergency option. When entered, it silently and immediately wipes all data — messages, contacts, encryption keys, account data — with no confirmation dialogs and no trace. The app returns to its fresh-install state. This is a Pro feature.
Every message you send has a timer. Once the recipient reads the message, the timer starts. When it reaches zero, the message is permanently deleted from both devices. Free users can set timers up to 60 seconds. Pro users can set timers up to 24 hours.
No. theSHFT uses a 12-word recovery phrase instead of email or phone verification. No personal information is required to create an account. You choose a username and that's it.
Yes. Voice and video calls are encrypted end-to-end with AES-256-GCM2. The encryption key is derived from the same key exchange used for messages — we never hear your calls. Voice calls are free. Video calls require Pro.
Group messages use Sender Keys — each member generates a unique symmetric key that's distributed to the group. When a member is removed, all keys automatically rotate so they can't decrypt future messages. Groups support up to 50 members.
theSHFT is currently available on iOS (iPhone, iPad, and Mac with Apple Silicon). Android support is planned for a future release.
