About Y001

Y001 is a privacy-first messaging application currently in development. We are building native apps for iOS, macOS, and Android with one core principle: your conversations belong to you—and only you.

Our Mission

Privacy should not be a luxury feature or a complex technical challenge. Y001 makes military-grade encryption effortless, accessible to everyone without compromising on user experience.

Zero-Knowledge Architecture

Unlike many messaging apps that claim to be "secure," Y001 uses true zero-knowledge architecture. Your encryption keys are generated on your device and never leave it. Our servers act purely as encrypted message relays—we cannot decrypt your messages even if compelled to do so.

Technology

Y001 is built on industry-standard cryptography:

  • Ed25519 for identity and authentication
  • NaCl Box (Curve25519, XSalsa20, Poly1305) for message encryption
  • WebRTC for encrypted voice and video calls
  • Local SQLite storage for offline-first functionality

Current Status

Y001 is in active development. Core features are approximately 75% complete. We are working toward a public beta release in 2025.
