Secure communication and data sharing. Only your username and photo are ever public — your email stays private and nothing you send is ever stored on a server.
Your email is only ever used to log you back in — it is never shown to anyone or sent over the network to other users. Messages and files go directly between devices and are never stored on our server.
Everything here follows one rule: a message or file leaves your device and lands on theirs — nothing about it is ever stored, logged, or visible to us in between. Here's what that means, feature by feature.
Your username and photo are the only things anyone ever sees. Your email exists purely so you can log back in — it's never shown to another person, never sent over the network, never included in the online list.
Forget your password and a one-time link gets you back in. The moment you use it, every other device you were logged into is signed out automatically.
Verifying proves you own your email, in case you ever need to recover the account — but you're never blocked from using Wisp while it's pending.
A photo is the only extra thing you choose to share, and only with people who can already see you're online.
Message someone and the words travel straight from your device to theirs over a direct connection — never through us.
Bring several people into one conversation. Everyone connects directly to everyone else — we only ever learn who's in the circle, never what's said inside it.
Rename it, add or remove people, or leave entirely — changes reach everyone who's currently around instantly, no refresh needed.
Send a file and it streams straight to disk on the other end, on their say-so — nothing sits on a server in between, however large it is.
Send several files, or send and receive at the same time, without one transfer waiting in line behind another.
Change your mind mid-transfer and it stops cleanly on both ends — no half-finished file left behind.
Every message and file is locked with a key the two of you generate together, which we never see. Compare a short fingerprint with the other person to be sure no one tampered with the connection.
If your connection drops for a moment, Wisp quietly rebuilds it in the background — no reload, no lost thread.
The same experience, full-featured, on a phone as on a desktop.
This connection is encrypted independently of the server, with a key it never sees. If someone tampered with the connection, the fingerprint they'd see wouldn't match — compare these with the other person over a call, in person, or any channel other than this app.
