Welcome to Void, a decentralized, private, and secure messenger for the 21st century.
Alpha Warning: Void is alpha-quality software built on alpha-quality libraries. While it works most of the time, crashes and data loss are to be expected.
Do not use for anything other than testing.
Void aims to be a social network for the modern age. One that doesn't track you, lock you in, or make you the product.
While that is the ultimate goal, right now Void is just
a messenger. You can chat with peers as long as you
know their identity public key. On mobile this is
a screamingvoid://peer/{64 char hex string} URI
that you can open and the app will pick it up.
Handling custom URI's on desktop is a little trickier
without installation, so the preview app does not
currently do it.
You can find the preview apps on the releases page.
If you wish to see Void achieving it's goals and growing consider sponsoring me, the primary and for now, only, developer. Developing Void is very time consuming and there's lots of work to be done, as the stack Void is built around does not support environments outside of node.js, so just getting the app to run on mobile involves considerable amount of work and lots of native code.
If you decide to become a sponsor you can see available options to support me in the sidebar. Currently you become a patron on Patreon for recurring donations or alternatively use DonorBox to support me.
For more information about available features, known bugs, and things to come check individual packages in the source tree.
Most packages in this monorepo are released under MIT license, and every package includes LICENSE file you can double check.
Some packages may be missing readmes. Documenting things is important but time consuming, and at this stage in development requires many rewrites as things break and change often. I'll get to it eventually.
