About Session Desktop

Session is a new breed of private messenger, built on a unique network of

user-operated servers spread all over the world. With no central servers,

Session can’t leak or sell your data. And with Session’s private routing

protocols, your messages are completely anonymous. No one ever knows who

you’re talking to, what you’re saying, or even your IP address.

Fully anonymous account creation: No phone number or email needed to create a Account ID

Decentralised server network: No data breaches, no central point of failure

No metadata logging: Session doesn't store, track, or log your messaging metadata

IP address protection: Device IP addresses are never exposed to the person you're talking

to or the servers holding your data

Groups: Private, end-to-end encrypted group chats for up to 100 people

Secure attachments: Share voice snippets, photos, and files with Session's secure encryption

and privacy protections

Multi-device syncing: One Account ID for your phone and computer

Free and open-source: Don’t take our word for it — check Session's code yourself

Session is free as in free speech, free as in free beer, and free of ads and

trackers. Session is built and maintained by the Swiss based Session Technology Foundation.
