Session

🟡 IntermediateNo phone🌍 · open-sourceFree

What it's for

Signal-grade encryption, but with no phone number and onion routing.

Why it matters

Your identity is a random “Session ID.” Traffic goes through a decentralised network (Lokinet) that sharply reduces metadata.

For whom & when

When a phone number is a liability. Smaller ecosystem, best kept for conversations that matter.

Install & use
  1. Install from getsession.org (all platforms).

  2. “Create account” generates your Session ID and a recovery phrase.

  3. Write the recovery phrase on paper: it’s the only key to your account.
  4. Share your Session ID (or QR) with your contacts.
