Paid E2EE messenger for private channels

Secure Channels.
No Accounts.

Ares Chat is built around private channels — not phone numbers, emails, contact books, or user profiles. Buy a channel once, link it to your iPhone, and invite only the people you trust.

Why Ares

Private messaging designed around ownership, not identity.

Ares Chat avoids account-based identity. The core unit is a secure channel purchased and controlled by the host device.

No Accounts

No email, phone number, social login, profile photo, or contact access required.

End-to-End Encrypted

Messages, files, key envelopes, and voice signaling are designed to stay encrypted before reaching the server.

One-Time Channel Purchase

Buy a secure channel once. No monthly subscription for the channel itself.

Protected Files

Recipients can view protected files in-app. Saving to device requires sender approval.

Private Voice

Voice calls use WebRTC, with signaling relayed in encrypted form and no call recording.

Generic Push Only

Notifications are designed as generic activity signals, not message previews.

Flow

Purchase on the web. Set up on your iPhone.

Choose a channel

Pick a 1:1, 5-person, 12-person, or 30-person secure channel.

Pay with PayPal

Complete checkout through the first supported web payment provider.

Create Setup Vault

Your Setup Vault holds pending channel slots. It is not an account.

Link the app

Open Ares Chat on iPhone, claim the channel, and invite trusted members.

Security Model

The server relays encrypted data. It does not become your account.
