Privacy you choose, message by message
Write and encrypt a message on your device, then share the protected text through a compatible chat you already use. You and your recipient both use Layergram and verify each other's identities; neither needs a Layergram account or a new messaging service.
Start free. Choose one person. Invite them in a few steps.
Only the ones you do not want to entrust to the rest of the chat.
A password. A private thought. A plan that is not ready yet. Work information meant for just two people.
Layergram creates a separate layer for what deserves more care.
For what you would say only to one chosen person.
VALUEFor words, ideas and memories you do not want to lose in the noise of everyday chat.
CONFIDENTIALITYFor credentials, client data and professional information that should not be left in plain text.
New · System keyboard
Fewer app switches. On Android and iOS, write and read with Layergram from the keyboard in the chats you already use.
Choose your verified contact and compose your text in the Layergram keyboard editor.
The keyboard inserts encrypted text into the chat input. Then press the send button in your messaging app.
Copy an incoming message and open it in the Layergram editor, keeping the plaintext out of the chat.

The conversation stays in your usual chat app. Only the keyboard is Layergram.
Illustrative demo. No text is sent.
Independent demo. Trademarks belong to their respective owners.
If enabled, reopen the keyboard with Face ID or your phone’s biometrics after the session expires.
A separate layer, not another network
The text is encrypted on your device before entering the chosen chat. The recipient opens it in Layergram and decrypts it on their device.
How it worksCompose what you want to protect in a space separate from the transport chat, secured with biometrics and screen-capture protection.
Your text becomes encrypted content. Share it directly or inside a cover message—the only text everyone else will be able to read.
WhatsApp, Telegram, Signal, iMessage, email or another compatible text channel, such as some social networks.
The other person’s Layergram identity, stored locally on their device, decrypts the secret content for them to read.
A person is unlikely to recognize that the message contains hidden text. And in any case, they will not be able to decrypt it unless it is intended for their Layergram identity.

Start with the person you share what matters most with. You both create your identities, exchange them and verify them only once. From then on, you choose message by message when to use Layergram through the chat apps you already use.
Your choice is used only to prepare a more natural invitation. It is neither sent nor saved.
I chose you to try Layergram with me. I would like to use it for the messages we prefer to keep truly between us, without changing the chat we already use. It is free: install it, create your identity, send it to me once, and let’s verify it together with mine.

PremiumLMF v3 / post-quantum
Layergram Message Format v3 uses a hybrid design that combines established classical cryptography with a post-quantum component. It is designed to reduce the risk that encrypted content captured and stored today could be decrypted without authorization in the future, including by quantum computers.

The transport chat sees the cover message, if you chose to create one. The verified person opens in Layergram the content that remained secret in transit.
Quick Guide
Human channel
Not every thought needs to become material for an automated system. Layergram lets you choose a separate path for selected conversations, with clear limits—not by rejecting technology, but by using its power.
A conversation that stays human.FAQ
No. You can start with just one person and use Layergram only when it matters. You both need a verified Layergram identity, a simple process you complete only once.
You can restore your identity with a 24-word recovery phrase. Guard it as carefully as the recovery phrase for a crypto wallet. You can use the same identity on more than one device, but messages are not synchronized: decrypting a message on one device will not make it appear automatically in the same chat on another.
A chat's end-to-end encryption protects messages as they travel between devices. Layergram adds a separate layer for content you compose and encrypt locally before handing it to the chat. It does not turn on or replace encryption in WhatsApp or another app. Contacts, timing, devices and the recipient's actions still matter.
It encrypts the content you choose. It does not archive or hide WhatsApp chats, control notifications or erase metadata. In the app, a cover message can make protected text less conspicuous, without making it undetectable. The system keyboard inserts encrypted text instead.
When enabled, Layergram uses the protections offered by the platform. Android can block screen capture more directly; other systems have different limits. An external camera or a compromised device is, of course, beyond its reach.
No. Core protection remains free. Premium adds convenience, organization and encrypted backup, supporting independent development.
Yes, in Premium versions on supported platforms. It uses a separate 24-word phrase, distinct from your identity recovery phrase; availability and provider depend on the installed platform.
