No public phone number requirement
Registration is centered on usernames: either a random anonymous handle or a chosen username. Phone-number identity is not the account anchor.
Closed beta · Android first
Private conversations that keep working when the network gets hostile.
Mariposa Connect is a privacy-first messenger for families and small groups who need encrypted messaging without public phone numbers, public email identity, or a fragile single server path.
Privacy model
Built to avoid the usual account traps.
Email stays private
If email is used, it is for account recovery — not a searchable identity, public profile field, or contact-discovery shortcut.
Message content stays encrypted
Conversations are encrypted so the app can work without exposing message text, recovery secrets, or personal details.
Recovery should feel simple
Encrypted backup and restore should feel like saving a protected archive, not writing down confusing recovery codes.
Network resilience
Designed for places where the direct path is not dependable.
The goal is simple: encrypted messaging that feels normal, but does not collapse when a direct connection becomes unreliable.
Encrypt first
Your messages are encrypted before they leave your device. Mariposa should not need to read them to deliver, search, or preview them.
Find a working route
Mariposa should keep trying safer ways to connect in the background instead of asking people to fix network problems themselves.
Stay quiet by default
The product is built around less exposed identity, fewer public account signals, and no need for invasive social discovery.

Beta expectation
What Mariposa should prove before wider release.
The Android beta is about making the differentiators feel natural: private identity, encrypted conversations, resilient connectivity, and recovery that normal people can understand.
Android beta coming soon
