In comparison to popular messaging applications like Telegram, WhatsApp and Signal, Speek is by far the most secure way to converse. Speek is serverless, stores no metadata, requires no ID or phone number and all the messages are encrypted and routed via the Tor network.

All messages are end-to-end encrypted. The Speek client is creating a Tor hidden service on the client PC. The message is then routed via the Tor onion network to the receiver. This makes it possible that the IP addresses are never public and the users can stay anonymous. The users are identified with public keys. Each user can share their public key with others to add them to the contacts list.
