ABOUT
About Tav
What Tav is, why it exists, and how this build works.
Tav Messenger
Web 5.0.1Private · Encrypted · Yours
Private communication built around your Tav identity
Tav Messenger is a private messaging and calling system built around Tav IDs instead of requiring a phone number to begin using the network. Tav is designed so your identity, conversations, calls, linked devices, and encrypted attachments work together as one communication system.
Your Tav ID is the durable network identity behind your username. The Tav relay moves encrypted envelopes, sync events, call signaling, and encrypted attachment chunks between your devices and contacts.

Why Tav is different
Tav ID firstA permanent Tav identity sits behind the account instead of making a phone number the identity.
No phone number requiredUsers can create and use Tav without exposing a personal mobile number to contacts.
Encrypted by designMessages, calls, account sync, and large attachment workflows are built around encrypted transport and device-side cryptography.
Linked-device controlYour Tav identity can work across devices while still allowing devices to be viewed and revoked.
Large encrypted attachmentsTav can split large files into encrypted chunks so file delivery does not have to live inside ordinary message JSON.
Recovery KeyAccount recovery stays private with a cryptographic Recovery Key instead of email, phone numbers, or security questions.
The goalTav is being built as an independent communications network where identity, privacy, messaging, calling, and device control belong to the user experience—not to a phone-number directory.
