Connect without sharing your phone number.
Mirrova is designed so you connect with a username, link or QR code instead of your number or email.
A private messenger in development, designed around username connections, relationship-based identities and control over who can contact you.
Not yet publicly available. Android first, iOS planned.
Product preview
A first look at the messaging experience we're designing. These are illustrative concepts, not screenshots of a finished app.
Why Mirrova
Most messaging apps start by asking for your phone number. That number follows you everywhere. It links your accounts, reveals more than you intended and stays with every person you've ever messaged.
We believe people should be able to communicate without having to share their phone number or personal identity. Mirrova is designed so you decide who reaches you, and how much of yourself each person sees.
Think of how you already live: friends see your relaxed side, colleagues see your work profile, and someone you just met gets a short introduction. Mirrova is designed to work the same way. A new contact sees only a limited intro identity until you choose to share more.
Privacy is not a feature. It's the starting point.
What we're building
Mirrova is designed so you connect with a username, link or QR code instead of your number or email.
We're building Mirrova so each relationship sees only the identity you choose for it.
New contacts are designed to ask first, so nothing reaches you until you accept.
Privacy & security philosophy
These are the commitments that guide our work. They describe our goals, not a finished or independently verified product.
If we don't need a piece of data, we aim not to ask for it.
We're building end-to-end encryption on published standards, the IETF's MLS protocol (RFC 9420) via the OpenMLS library, rather than inventing our own cryptography.
Mirrova is designed so new contacts ask first, and nothing lands in your inbox until you accept.
No app can protect against every threat. We'll describe what Mirrova does and doesn't protect clearly, and we plan an independent security review before public launch.
Development status
Mirrova is under active development and is not publicly available yet.
There's nothing to download yet, and we're not collecting sign-ups on this site. When there's something to try, we'll share it here.
FAQ
Mirrova is under active development and isn't publicly available yet. We don't have a release date to share, and we'll post updates on this site.
No. Mirrova is designed so you can sign up and connect with a username instead of a phone number or email address.
We aim to collect as little data as possible and to give you control over who can reach you and which identity each person sees. A full privacy policy will be published before launch.
End-to-end encryption is a core part of the architecture we're building, based on the open MLS standard (RFC 9420) and the OpenMLS library. It's still under development and hasn't been independently reviewed yet. We plan a review before public launch.
Android is the first platform in development. We plan to add iOS after that.
