Private messaging that stays private.
A simple, fast messenger for the people you trust — with end-to-end encrypted chats, groups, and voice & video calls, plus channels when you want to broadcast in the open. Your conversations belong to you, not to us.

One private app for staying in touch
Message, call, and share with friends, family, and communities — your private conversations end-to-end encrypted by default.
Private chats
One-to-one messages secured with end-to-end encryption, so only you and the person you're talking to can read them.
Group chats
Create private groups for family, friends, or your team. Every group message is end-to-end encrypted.
Channels
Broadcast updates to everyone who follows you. Public channels are open by design; private ones stay end-to-end encrypted, like your chats.
Voice & video calls
Crisp one-to-one calls, with media encrypted end-to-end between participants.
Media & files
Send photos, videos, voice notes, and documents. Attachments are encrypted just like your messages.
Across your devices
Use LEWO on your phone, on the web, and on desktop — your conversations stay in sync, always encrypted.
Privacy by default
Your messages are yours alone
LEWO encrypts your conversations on your device before they're sent. The keys that unlock them never leave your phone — which means not even we can read what you say.
- End-to-end encryption on your private chats, groups and calls — automatically
- Your private keys are generated and stored only on your device
- Our servers can't read your messages — they relay only encrypted message content
- Forward secrecy: even a future key compromise can't unlock past chats
- The encryption core is open source — published so anyone can verify it
Don't trust us — verify us
The encryption core is open source
The cryptographic core of LEWO — the exact code that agrees on keys and turns your private messages into ciphertext — is published publicly, so anyone can inspect how the encryption works and confirm it does what we say.
To be precise: it's the encryption core that is open source — the code responsible for end-to-end encrypting your private conversations. Read how LEWO encryption works, or meet the person building LEWO.
Free for everyone
Free to use, supported by ads
LEWO is free. To keep it that way, we show ads in parts of the app — but your conversations are off-limits.
- Because your chats and call media are end-to-end encrypted, their content is never read by us or by advertisers
- Ads are never based on the contents of your messages, calls, or media
- You're a person, not a profile built from your private conversations
- Exactly what data is and isn't used for ads is spelled out in our Privacy Policy
