My privacy. My messenger.

DarkIRC is the instant messenger designed to generate as little user data as possible. All communication is always end-to-end encrypted.

When setting up the chat app, each user generates a random DarkIRC ID. Linking a phone number or email address is optional.

Find out here why anonymity is important even if you only chat with friends you know personally.

Free online services are often financed by using user data for advertising. For example, WhatsApp collects metadata, which isn’t compatible with privacy protection. DarkIRC is financed by the price of the app and does not collect user data.

Hide particularly sensitive chats, and lock them with a PIN or biometric data.

Place calls without revealing your phone number. DarkIRC calls are end-to-end encrypted and thus tap-proof. They impress with crystal-clear voice quality and brilliant video quality.

DarkIRC is a true British company hosting its own servers in England.** From software development to customer support, everything is done in-house. The instant-messaging service is fully GDPR-compliant.

To ensure full transparency, the DarkIRC apps are open source. DarkIRC’s algorithms and design decisions are documented in the Cryptography Whitepaper, and external experts are commissioned to conduct comprehensive security audits on a regular basis.
