Tox Messenger

Tox Messenger is a private, peer-to-peer messenger built on the Tox protocol. There is no central server holding your conversations—messages go device to device with end-to-end encryption.

WHY TOX MESSENGER

• No phone number or email required to chat

• Local profiles with password protection

• Chat history encrypted on your device (per profile)

• Open contact by Tox ID or QR code

MESSAGING

• One-to-one text chats

• Group chats (create, invite, leave)

• Send files and media in private chats

• Disappearing messages with a shared timer and live countdown

• Delete chats or individual messages on your device

CALLS

• Voice and video calls (ToxAV)

• Group calls as multi-peer mesh when members are online

• Incoming call controls to answer or decline

PRIVACY & CONTROL

• Multi-profile support—switch accounts on one phone

• Recovery phrase when you create a profile (keep it offline)

• Online/offline presence for friends

• Notifications for messages and invites (with permission)

HOW TO START

1. Create a profile and set a password

2. Save your recovery phrase somewhere safe

3. Share your Tox ID or QR code with friends

4. Accept their friend request and start chatting

NOTES

• Both people need an internet connection and must be friends on Tox for live chat and calls

• First connection may take a short time while the app joins the Tox network

• Group and call features work best when contacts are online

Tox Messenger is for people who want messaging without a traditional account system—just cryptographic identities and direct peer connections.
