Show HN: EncroGram – A Privacy-Focused Messenger

https://encrogram.com
1•truthleaks•1h ago
Hi HN,

EncroGram is a messaging app built around a simple question: What remains visible when message content is encrypted?

Most modern messengers encrypt content but still retain significant metadata: who talks to whom, when, how often, and from where.

EncroGram is an attempt to reduce that metadata footprint as far as practically possible. The goal is not mass adoption or feature parity, but a minimal, transparent communication model.

Key points: – No tracking or analytics – No hidden data collection – Focus on architectural simplicity – Explicit threat model (what EncroGram does and does not protect against)

This is not a “Signal killer” and not designed for everyone. It’s an experiment in reducing assumptions around data retention and trust.

Website: https://encrogram.com

I’m interested in technical feedback, criticism, and discussion around the trade-offs.

Is there a way for specialists, security journalists, and the public to audit the app, the security protocols employed, and/or the code base? And are there people who can at least vouch for Torsten's technical qualifications and character?

I think that not having sufficient information about the technology itself or the person who is behind it will forever work against the effort to popularise the app. People have been burned time and again by improper security implementations and owners who turned out not to be who they said they were.
