Field notes
The homepage says identity comes from a 12-word recovery phrase and that encrypted data stays on the user's devices. Its transport diagram names a wide mix of routes, including QUIC/TCP, relays, Tor, I2P, and local Bluetooth; the page also identifies its animated network graphic as a simulation. Fryva states that its code is available under AGPL-3.0-only, while Windows and Linux builds remain marked as coming soon.
