# Choose one person.Choose one person. Protect one conversation.Protect one conversation. > Choose a person and protect the most important messages before sharing them in the chats you already use. Free, without Layergram accounts. Canonical HTML: https://layergram.app/ Language: en Last updated: 2026-08-28 Privacy you choose, message by message You do not need to change your chats—or convince everyone you know. Layergram protects only your most intimate, important or confidential messages on your device, then lets you share them through the apps you already use. 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. ## You do not need to protect every message.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. ### More intimate For what you would say only to one chosen person. ### More precious For words, ideas and memories you do not want to lose in the noise of everyday chat. ### More confidential For credentials, client data and professional information that should not be left in plain text. A separate layer, not another network ## Your usual channel carries the message.Layergram protects its content. The text is encrypted on your device before entering the chosen chat. The recipient opens it in Layergram and decrypts it on their device. - 01Write in LayergramCompose what you want to protect in a space separate from the transport chat, secured with biometrics and screen-capture protection. ### Write in Layergram - 02Layergram transforms itYour text becomes encrypted content. Share it directly or inside a cover message—the only text everyone else will be able to read. ### Layergram transforms it - 03Share wherever you wantWhatsApp, Telegram, Signal, iMessage, email or another compatible text channel, such as some social networks. ### Share wherever you want - 04The chosen person opens itThe other person’s Layergram identity, stored locally on their device, decrypts the secret content for them to read. ### The chosen person opens it Choose the form of transport ## Three ways. The same protected message. The content does not change. You only choose the form you want to appear in the transport chat. ### Cover 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. Write secret text for the recipient Write cover text In the chat everyone can see ### Encrypted text It is obvious that the message hides something, but it is compatible with any text app that accepts a message of that length. Write secret text for the recipient Cover unavailable In the chat everyone can see ### Layergram link It reveals the use of Layergram, but if the transport app makes deep links clickable, the recipient can conveniently decrypt the message with one tap. Write secret text for the recipient Cover unavailable In the chat everyone can see *With Premium, on supported devices, you can generate the cover automatically with one tap. **deep links are links that work within the device: no Layergram deep link points to content hosted on an internet server. Layergram / 2 ## One person is enough. 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. ### Who do you want on the other side? 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. Open core ## Essential protection is free.Premium makes everything more convenient. ### Start free - Layergram protocol and identity - Protected messages in existing channels - Local history - App lock and screen protector where supported - Self-destructing messages - Additional identity via passphrase for plausible deniability ### The same protection. Much more convenience. - Internal secure keypad - Automatically generated coverage messages* - More local identities - Chat folders - Encrypted backup and restore *on devices that support local LLM LMF v3 / post-quantum ## Today's important messages deserve protection designed for tomorrow too. Layergram Message Format v3 uses a hybrid approach: it combines popular modern cryptography with a post-quantum component. It means reasonably reducing the risk that content encrypted and stored today will become easier to decipher unauthorizedly with future technologies, even quantum computers. Layergram UI ## Two messages. A single surface. 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. Human channel ## A conversation that stays human. 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. FAQ ## Questions before your first message ### Do I have to convince all my contacts? 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. ### What if I need to change devices or want to use more than one at a time? 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. ### Why use it if my chat is already end-to-end encrypted? Layergram encrypts the content before it reaches the messaging app chosen for transport. This adds a separate security layer while the message travels and keeps the protected content away from any AI analysis performed by that messaging app. ### Does Layergram prevent screenshots? 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. ### Does Premium make messages more encrypted? No. Core protection remains free. Premium adds convenience, organization and encrypted backup, supporting independent development. ### Is encrypted backup available? 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. Start free ## Protect your first message Start free.
