Field notes
The homepage lays out a per-contact connection model and links individual claims to project files, including transport, delivery, and vault documentation. It says messages remain in memory by default, while optional history uses a separate encrypted file. The stated limits include online-only use unless the outbox is enabled, visible online time to someone who knows a contact’s onion address, and no real-phone Android testing.
