WallyMatesWhat is WallyMates
WallyMates is an end-to-end encrypted messenger built for people who want to communicate fast and privately, without their personal life being tracked. This wiki is a full reference: what the product can do, how it works under the hood, and what changed in every Android and Windows release.
The approach, briefly
We deliberately don't turn WallyMates into a "social network" with a feed and algorithms — just what a messenger actually needs: chats, calls, groups, channels, and bots, without intrusive content. Privacy isn't a marketing slogan here — it's concrete technical decisions: a from-scratch Static X3DH implementation for 1:1 chats, a separate Sender Key scheme for group E2EE, and even an out-loud call verification — a 96-emoji fingerprint built from both parties' long-term identity keys, identical on Android and Windows. Full detail in Security & Encryption.
How this differs from a typical messenger
E2EE by default, not an option
Private conversations are end-to-end encrypted always — 1:1 and in groups — with no separate "privacy mode" you have to turn on.
Groups and channels with real admin tooling
Roles with granular permissions, an admin action log, discussion topics, QR invites — tooling built for communities, not just two-person chats.
An open platform for bots
A Bot API and in-chat mini-apps — automate notifications, sales, or support without leaving the messenger.
One account, every platform
Android, Windows, and web — with draft, saved-message, and read-status sync across devices in real time.
Where it runs
Android
A full app with push notifications, offline mode, and local database encryption (SQLCipher).
Windows
A desktop client with the same capabilities as mobile, plus a floating call mini-window and keyboard shortcuts.
Web
A browser version (web.worldmates.club) for anyone who can't be bothered to install an app, or for a one-off conversation from any device.
