Convos is Open

We’re building a privacy-first chat app called Convos.
It’s like a decentralized Signal, so no company can rug you, and no country can bug you. 100% open source, top to bottom.
It’s purpose-built to protect your attention, introducing economics that cook spammers while welcoming in worthwhile new contacts.
We’re building Convos in the open. We’ll share our progress as we go, and we’ll ask for your feedback along the way. Into it? Please raise your hand to test the app, here:

Want to get involved today? We’d love that too. Here are some openings:

Open Source

See the codebase come together, and run our WIP yourself.

Open Protocol

See what’s coming soon, then weigh in on which XMTP capabilities matter and how best to execute them.

Open Process

We’ll share product direction and designs feedback along the way

Open to Collab

We literally can’t do this alone. Because it’s decentralized. And hard. But so worth it.
Run a node (coming soon)
 
We’ll have a proper webpage later on. Until then, this is HQ.
Thank you for being here and building this with us. Talk soon.
