ArcaneChat

ArcaneChat is a decentralized and secure messenger app that is
completely compatible with the existing e-mail infrastructure.

Some features at a glance:

Reliable instant messaging with multi-profile and multi-device support.

⚡️ Sign-up easily using secure fast chatmail servers. You don’t need a phone number or any private data.

Alternatively, use your existing classic e-mail address to read your inbox as chats.

Interactive mini-apps in chats for gaming and collaboration.

Audited end-to-end encryption safe against network and server attacks.

ArcaneChat is a Delta Chat client and was created with a focus on usability,
