Landing page captured for the 2026-08-24 issue.

Field notes

The stated workflow begins with an alias and passphrase rather than conventional account verification, followed by a one-time recovery key that the service says it does not retain. The architecture section describes ciphertext moving through 3–7 hops across nine regions, while the security section says messages can be set to expire between one hour and thirty days. These are homepage assertions; the extract does not establish whether the claimed audits or deletion process have been independently confirmed.
