Communication without targeted ads or tracking — Messaging, calls, VPN and identity — without a phone number or email — Your digital life, without tracking
Private messaging, calls, VPN and identity in one place
Register without a phone number or email address
Use Qunai as your private communication layer while your contacts continue using their existing services
See how Seamless Messaging works
Your conversations, identity and activity should be yours — not used for person-profiles, ads or tracking
Learn how we make that happen
A Messenger, VPN and identity - no phone number, email or public username
chats — messages — contacts — files — calls
Unlike traditional messengers, Qunai does not require both users to already have an account before communication can begin. With Qunai Seamless Messaging, you can communicate with people outside the Qunai network while keeping your privacy-focused communication model.
Soon it will be possible to use contacts and chats from other messengers as well
By utilizing self-renewing anonymous ContactIDs instead of public phone numbers, usernames or email addresses, you decide who can message or call you
We wish your current spammers the best of luck in trying to find out your self-renewing anonymous ContactID
Have you ever seen a movie set in the future where the protagonist has to deal with phishing or spam? — UGH, that's so 2023
Combine voice messages with images, text and references or send multiple videos, images and audios together in one message - for more creative freedom in messaging
Never again will you see: "Attachment(s) too large, you can only send a max of <small number like 5 or so> MB"
The supported attachment size is https://qunai.ioMB for each individual message - so you can send around https://qunai.io images or videos per message
Anonymous voice and video calls - Qunai security and privacy in all your calls
As your privacy is one of our main concerns, it is currently only possible to receive messages when both communication partners are online
This way your data is not stored on just any extraneous server, as with other services but remains with you until you are both online
We currently recommend to stay online to be able to receive messages as soon as they are sent - soon this will not be necessary anymore
Personalize the look and feel of your app for you and all your contacts
Choose the name you want your contacts to see you by - because you are anonymous, you can use your real name without worry, and you will never receive the annoying "This name is already taken" alert
Name your contacts however you want, independent of how they have named themselves
Unlike common apps, Qunai autonomously encrypts all of your data inside the app using your Qunai AccessKey - no need to rely on your device to store your data securely and inaccessibly, Qunai takes care of that for you
Only for attachments you decide: Encrypted Qunai In-App Storage or your device's file system
Unlocking works automagically via your device's "Secure Hardware Storage" or by typing your PIN (manual), both utilizing your Qunai AccessKey
(Qunai spares you from having to manually enter your Qunai AccessKey and thereby practice typing for half an hour)
Qunai can automagically and anonymously authenticate you with all services that support Qunai Remote-Sign-In no matter on which platform
And if you ever run out of magic, you will receive a notification with which you will be able to replenish it — easy, right?
Did you really think we would be using concepts from the past century like passwords, email or SMS in the future?

Activate Qunai on your entire system - this means that all data transmissions of your entire device are sent with Qunai and thus optimally protected and anonymized
This adds the security, privacy and anonymity of Qunai to all your services
You can also choose your country of origin from the Internet’s point of view - this way you can access protected content from Netflix, Burning Series, Disney+ and more
Integrate Qunai Messaging API in your software and benefit from automated messaging, calls and more
The distributed network that keeps Qunai private by separating your identity from your traffic
No centralized point of trust — Anonymous identities — Encrypted communication — Smarter routing
As a newly launched startup, we're currently focusing our resources on product development. We intend to open-source components of Qunai as the project matures and we establish a sustainable user base.
This audit is currently in progress.
This penetration test is scheduled for fall 2026.
The technical security whitepaper is currently in development and is expected to be published in fall 2026.
Qunai is designed to comply with applicable GDPR requirements and relevant NIS2 security principles. We have internally reviewed our systems and processes to align with these requirements and will continue improving our compliance as the project grows.
Each account has a public/private cryptographic key pair generated on your device. The public key serves as your anonymizing ID and is not tied to a phone number, device identifier, or email address.
Algorithms: ED25519, SHA512
Qunai automagically end-to-end encrypts all your data transmission at all times via PPFS
(This is in contrast to most other services that only promise end-to-end encryption but only partially implement it)
Algorithms: QDP, QTP
Qunai hides your identity and is designed to make targeted advertising and analytics impractical - minimizing who can see who you are, when you are active, or who you are communicating with
Nobody, not even the developers of Qunai, let alone big tech companies, can access or sell your data without an explicit action from you - the power over your data is only in your hands
Algorithms: QDP, QTP
Qunai implements an extremely efficient method of data transmission that accelerates and stabilizes your connection
It also prevents ISP throttling
Algorithms: QDP, QTP
QDP is our self-designed extension of the UDP protocol
It adds anonymization and encryption
Algorithms: PPFS, SHA256, SHA256-HMAC, RSA, SHA512, AES-GCM, AES-CTR
QTP is our self-designed extension of the TCP protocol
It adds anonymization and encryption
Algorithms: PPFS, SHA256, SHA256-HMAC, RSA, SHA512, AES-GCM, AES-CTR
PPFS is our self-designed extension of the PFS protocol
It removes the necessity for the initial handshake making key-generation perpetual

Integrate Qunai, including all additional modules, into your software to enhance it with ultimate privacy, security and speed and simultaneously utilize our multi-platform libraries
Focus on your area of expertise, while we cover the rest
Use and control Qunai from the command line — who needs a UI anyway (hint: we do)
Most messaging platforms use a phone number or email address as your identity. While convenient, these identifiers are closely tied to your real-world identity and often remain the same for years.
Once linked to any online account, they become a permanent identifier that can be used to build contact graphs, correlate activity across services, and reveal relationships between people—even when message contents are encrypted.
Qunai does not require a phone number or email address. Instead, every account is identified by an anonymizing ID, allowing communication without exposing personal contact information.
Qunai is designed to collect as little information as possible.
For paid subscriptions, we are legally required to retain certain payment records for accounting and tax purposes.
To provide our services, we also store the anonymizing ID associated with your account together with information about your active subscriptions or purchased services.
We do not require a phone number or email address to create an account and everything else is stored exclusively on your device.
No. Messages are end-to-end encrypted and cannot be read by Qunai. Our communication protocols are also designed to substantially minimize the metadata that can reveal when or between whom communication occurs.
Qunai continuously maintains a local backup that can also be exported manually. If the app is reinstalled on the same device, or the backup is imported onto another device, your account state can be restored.
Qunai uses standard Internet communication protocols, which means some network-level metadata is still visible, such as source IP address, packet timing, and packet size.
Yes. In the future, users will have the option to participate in Qunai's infrastructure and use the service without subscription costs.
Currently, to be able to offer our services without the option of selling your data, you can use Qunai for a small fee - we do not want to fund Qunai by monetizing user data.
We believe that everyone should be able to afford privacy - nobody should be forced to sell their data to be able to use services.
This is why we keep our prices as low as possible.
Qunai is designed to minimize performance impact. Depending on network conditions, your connection may remain similar, improve, or occasionally become slightly slower.
Because your privacy is one of our main concerns it is currently only possible to receive messages when both communication partners are online - this way your data will not be stored on any extraneous server, in contrast to other services.
We recommend to stay online to be able to receive messages as soon as they are sent - soon this will obviously not be necessary anymore.
In addition we recommend to only accept chat invites from people you know - for this the option "auto‑accept" under "Invites" can be deactivated.
Hi, we are Qunai
We are a small team of tech enthusiasts based in Austria. We mostly have a software engineering, networking and cybersecurity backgrounds but some of us also come from different backgrounds. What we do have in common though is the belief that privacy should be accessible to everyone.
During our studies of computer science and networking, we came to understand an important limitation of today's Internet. While technologies such as TLS have made communication confidential by encrypting data in transit, they do not eliminate one of the Internet's fundamental characteristics: communication requires identity. Devices and services must know where information comes from and where it should be delivered, creating metadata that can reveal who is communicating with whom.
Over the years, this metadata has become extremely valuable. It powers advertising, analytics, profiling, and many of the online services people use every day.
We built Qunai to challenge this assumption. Instead of treating identity as a requirement for secure communication, Qunai is designed to minimize the amount of identifying information needed while combining end-to-end encryption with a distributed network architecture.
Our mission is to make private communication accessible to everyone—not only those with advanced technical knowledge or large budgets, but anyone who believes privacy should be the default.
