Jami
Jami is a universal communication platform from the GNU project that puts privacy first through true peer-to-peer architecture. Unlike most messaging apps, Jami has no central server — calls and messages travel directly between devices, end-to-end encrypted, so there is no intermediary that could intercept or log your communication.
Key Features
- Peer-to-peer architecture — No central server required; devices connect directly to each other.
- End-to-end encryption — Calls and messages are encrypted on your device and only decrypted by the recipient.
- Voice and video calls — High-quality audio and video calls between any Jami devices.
- Messaging and file sharing — Text chats with file transfer, all fully encrypted.
- Screen sharing — Share your screen during calls for collaboration.
- Multi-device accounts — The same Jami account works across all your devices with synchronisation.
- No phone number required — Accounts are identified by cryptographic fingerprints, not phone numbers or email addresses.
Why Use Jami?
If you want communication that is private by design, Jami is one of the few serious options. Because there is no server, there is nothing for a provider to log, censor, or shut down — the network belongs to its users.
Use Cases
- Private one-to-one voice and video calls between family and friends
- Activists and journalists needing communication that cannot be intercepted
- People who want an alternative to centralised apps like WhatsApp or Zoom
- Small groups that want encrypted group chats without a hosted service
