Some things are meant to reach another person.
Messages and files between Capsules, sealed on your computer before they leave.
Your private Capsule begins with you.
It should not have to end with isolation.
Messenger is being developed as a place for trusted communication and exchange between people and Capsules — for the things you deliberately choose to share.
A photograph.
A document.
A family story.
A message.
Not a public feed.
Not another place to perform a life for strangers.
A connection between people who already matter to each other.
Your sister asks for the photograph from the lake.
Messenger carries it to her Capsule, sealed before it leaves yours.We hope Messenger will grow into a quiet way for a family to share what matters — a photograph, a document, a story — between the people it was meant for, and no one else.
- Contacts
- A contact begins with a request to another Capsule, which the other person accepts or declines.
- Messages
- Sealed on your computer before they leave and opened on the receiving computer; the relay carries what it cannot read.
- Files
- Attach a file to a message.
- Checking a contact
- Compare a safety number with your contact, read aloud or side by side.
- Your name
- You choose the name your contacts see.
- The internet
- Needed to send and receive. Conversations saved on your computer stay readable without it.
