Message #design-team
A place for every conversation.Keep decisions, context, and the people behind them together.
Docs, Sheets, and Books are available in workspaces with collaboration enabled.
Made for your day
Everything flows.
Everyone stays in sync.
One workspace for the things you do every day. With security woven into the foundation.
Calls
Voice and video up to 50 participants. Media is end-to-end encrypted with keys from the conversation; when devices cannot connect directly, our relay carries only ciphertext.
WebRTC · end-to-end encryptedCalendar
Invites delivered over DIDComm, not email. Time polls, signed RSVPs, cryptographic delegation.
Signed invitesDocs
Write together in a shared document. Review suggestions and return to earlier versions as your ideas evolve.
Collaborative writingSheets
Build plans and budgets with formulas, multiple sheets, and shared access. Keep the numbers beside the work.
Shared spreadsheetsBooks
Keep a shared ledger with vouchers, a chart of accounts, and financial reports. Review entries with optional approval rules.
Ledger + reportingTasks
Kanban board linked to messages and calendar. Create a task from any message with one click.
Workspace-wideFiles
Keep shared files in your encrypted vault. Preview PDFs, images, code, and video in your workspace.
Vault-encryptedAccess & recovery
Sign in with a passkey. Set up trusted guardians in advance to help recover access if you lose your passkey.
Passkeys + guardiansArchitecture
Trust has a structure.
Ours is open.
Your devices hold the keys. Our servers store and forward ciphertext they cannot decrypt, and the directory only knows which email maps to which public DID. Nothing we run can read your messages, files, calls or documents.
01 / CLIENT
Your passkey opens your workspace.
Sign in with your passkey to unlock your encrypted account. Set up trusted guardians before you need them, so they can help you recover access with a new passkey. Recovery shares are opened on your device.
02 / MEDIATOR
The relay is blind.
Our relay stores encrypted blobs and forwards them. It cannot read content, resolve senders, or reconstruct history. It is protocol_coordinate_mediation, nothing more.
03 / DIRECTORY
Identity you can verify.
Email maps to a public DID. Verifiable credentials back the “Verified” badge. Federate it, self-host it, or run it inside your own sovereign cloud.
Comparison
Vilko, honestly.
We show our work. Where Slack, Teams, and Signal differ from us — and why a regulated team can't just “use Signal for work.”
