Keet is a peer-to-peer messaging app developed by Holepunch, built for privacy, safety, and free speech. Unlike traditional messaging platforms, Keet operates without centralized servers — all messages, calls, and files are exchanged directly between users through end-to-end encryption. This ensures no metadata is collected, no personal information is required, and no third parties can access communications.
The app requires no phone number or email to use and secures identity using a 24-word seed phrase, similar to a crypto wallet. It supports unlimited file sharing, cross-platform synchronization, and high-quality video calls — all powered by direct peer-to-peer connectivity.
Keet is developed by Holepunch, which is backed by Tether, and built on the open-source Pear Runtime, a privacy-focused P2P technology stack.
