True privacy means no data exists in the first place — no metadata, no servers, no accounts. Backspace.me is built from the ground up with this philosophy.
Every design decision starts with one question: does this data need to exist?
Messages travel directly between peers over a distributed network. No central server stores anything — there's no single point of failure and no central database.
Every message is encrypted with Ed25519 + AES-256-GCM before it leaves your device. Not even relay nodes can read your conversations. Always on, no opt-in required.
No IP logging. No contact lists. No usage patterns. No analytics. Messages are relayed and forgotten — your social graph stays invisible.
No phone number. No email. No real name. Your identity is a cryptographic key pair — generated on your device, owned by you alone.
7-day TTL by design. No permanent archives, no cloud backups, no "deleted messages" that can be retrieved. When they're gone, they're gone.
No advertising model. No data monetization. No investors demanding growth metrics. The network is sustained by its users, not by selling behavior data.
A simple, powerful architecture that puts privacy first at every step.
When you open Backspace, a cryptographic key pair is generated on your device. That's your identity — no registration, no personal info, no database entry.
Your device connects to a distributed hash table (Hyperswarm) to discover peers. Messages travel directly between users — no central server in the middle.
Every message is encrypted end-to-end with AES-256-GCM before leaving your device. Relay nodes help deliver messages but can never read them.
Messages pass through the relay network and are forgotten immediately. No logs are kept. No metadata accumulates. Nothing persists on the network.
All messages carry a 7-day time-to-live. After that, they're gone — from your device and from any relay that temporarily held them. No archives, no traces.
The entire codebase is open source. You don't have to trust a privacy policy — you can read the code, audit the encryption, and verify every claim yourself.
Privacy doesn't mean sacrificing features. Backspace has everything you'd expect — and more.
Encrypted peer-to-peer calls over WebRTC. Push-to-talk, waveform previews, and call history — all without touching a central server.
Snake, 8-Ball Pool, Whack Em All, Duck Shooter, and more. Play solo or join real-money tournaments with crypto prizes and live leaderboards.
Become the DJ with a full dual-deck mixing engine, effects, EQ, and mic. Listeners hear it all in real-time — no bots, no playlists, real people mixing.
SOL, TRX, USDT, and USDC — send, receive, and tip anyone in chat. Your keys never leave your device. No extensions, no third-party apps needed.
AI-assisted bot creation with ready-to-use templates. Describe what you want, get production-ready code instantly. Moderation, trivia, economy, analytics, and more.
Mint a unique username on the network. Your identity is cryptographically yours — no email, no phone number, no account to worry about.
When no data is collected, there's nothing to leak, nothing to sell, and nothing to hand over. That's not a policy — it's how Backspace.me is built.
No registration. No phone number. No tracking. Just encrypted, decentralized messaging — the way it should be.
