Vardum – Private messaging that stays private, even if someone has your phone

Vardum (formerly VEIL) offers private messaging that remains confidential even if someone has your phone. Messages are end-to-end and post-quantum encrypted. You sign up with no phone number, no email, and nothing tied to your identity. Chats can erase themselves on your schedule

Vardum – Private messaging that stays private, even if someone has your phone launched on October 22, 2026.

In plain words

Vardum is a privacy-focused messaging app that keeps communications confidential even if someone gains access to your phone. It uses end-to-end and post-quantum encryption, requires no phone number or email to sign up, and offers features like self-erasing chats, calls, groups, and private notes. The service also provides privacy-configured Google Pixel phones and is developing private AI tools. Currently available in public beta on iPhone and by request on Android.

From the sources

Vardum makes privacy tools: an encrypted messenger with no phone number or email, Google Pixel phones set up for privacy, and private AI in testing.

We build privacy-first software and devices that keep your data on your own devices, not ours. End-to-end encrypted, post-quantum messaging with no phone number or email. Calls, groups, vaults and private notes. Free during the beta: a public beta on iPhone, and a small-group beta on Android by request. A Google Pixel running GrapheneOS, set up with Vardum and your apps. Three packages from A$750, delivered in 7 to 14 days in Australia. No SIM cards or eSIMs sold. Vardum is not affiliated with or endorsed by GrapheneOS. Both are in internal testing and review by our team before a beta release. Neither is for sale, and neither has a price or release date yet.
