Messaging built on trust, not tracking
Varta was born from a simple frustration: every major messaging platform treats your conversations as a product to be monetized. We believe private communication is a fundamental right, not a business model.
We built Varta with zero-knowledge encryption, meaning we literally cannot read your messages even if compelled to. Your encryption keys stay on your devices. Your conversations stay between you and the people you trust.
Our Values
What we stand for
Privacy First
Every architectural decision starts with one question: does this protect the user? We chose zero-knowledge architecture because your messages are none of our business.
Transparency
No dark patterns, no hidden data collection, no selling your information. We are upfront about what we collect (almost nothing) and how our encryption works.
Simplicity
Privacy tools should not require a technical degree. Varta makes end-to-end encryption, disappearing messages, and biometric security effortless to use.
Security
State-of-the-art encryption protocols, independent per-device keys, and features like Eyes-Only mode and Screen Guard provide defense in depth.
Why Varta
What makes us different
Zero-knowledge by design
We cannot read your messages. Period. Not for ads, not for analytics, not for law enforcement.
Face-aware privacy
Eyes-Only mode uses face detection to blur messages when you look away - a feature no other messenger offers.
No phone book upload
We never upload or store your contacts. Find friends by sharing your Varta ID or phone number directly.
Independent device keys
Each linked device has its own encryption key. Revoking a device instantly cuts its access.
AI that stays on your device
Smart replies and translations can run locally. Your message content never hits our AI servers.
Open security model
Our encryption protocols and security architecture are documented publicly for anyone to audit.
