On your device
Encrypted before it is sent. Keys are generated and stored on your devices, and are never available to AviNat.
Power to the people
Pure privacy. Back in your hands.
AviNat is a privacy-first messenger that gives people control of their data. Every message and call is secured with end-to-end, post-quantum encryption before it leaves your device. AviNat cannot access your conversations, does not retain them, and never sells personal information.

- No ads, no tracking
- Open-standard protocol
- MLS · RFC 9420
- Post-quantum protection
- ML-KEM-768 + X25519
- AES-256 encryption
- AES-256-GCM
- No advertising, no tracking

01Privacy
Privacy by design. Not by promise.
AviNat is engineered to hold as little of your information as possible. The content of your conversations is never available to us in readable form, and it is not retained once it has been delivered.
No access to your messages.
Messages are encrypted on your device before they are sent. The keys remain on your devices, so not even AviNat can read them.
No retention of your messages.
Our servers relay messages in encrypted form and delete them once they have been delivered. Undelivered messages are deleted after 30 days.
No copy of your address book.
Contact discovery is performed without keeping the numbers you submit or building a copy of your address book.
No access to your calls.
Standard voice and video calls are end-to-end encrypted, with a new key for every call. Our servers cannot hear or see them.
No recording of translated calls.
Translated calls are processed in real time and are not end-to-end encrypted; the app informs both participants before each call. Audio, video and captions are never recorded or stored.
No advertising. No tracking.
AviNat contains no advertising and no tracking, and never sells personal information. The service is funded by AviNat Pro, an optional subscription.
What we retain, and for how long
- Account: phone number, profile and settings
- Until the account is deleted
- Encrypted messages
- Until delivered, 30 days at most
- Encrypted photos, videos and files in chats
- 30 days
- Call records: who called whom, and when
- 30 days
- Server logs
- 14 days
Not end-to-end encrypted, and labelled in the app
- Translated calls (audio is processed by a translation service and is not recorded)
- Channels
- Stories (profile posts)
- Your profile photo and profile information
- The names you give your contacts in AviNat
To deliver messages, our servers process limited information that is not end-to-end encrypted, such as who you communicate with and when.
02Security
Encrypted on your device. Readable only on theirs.
Encryption takes place on your device before a message is sent. Our servers relay ciphertext only, and the keys required to read it are never available to AviNat.
Encrypted
On our servers
Relayed as ciphertext, and deleted once every recipient device has received it.
See you at 8 ☀️
On the recipient’s device
Decrypted only by the participants in the conversation.
Post-quantum encryption in every chat
Every chat combines X25519 with ML-KEM-768, the post-quantum standard published by NIST, so that content captured today remains protected against future quantum computers. It is enabled by default, with no unencrypted fallback.
Open-standard encryption
Messages, media and standard calls are end-to-end encrypted with Messaging Layer Security (MLS), the IETF standard RFC 9420. Messages are sealed with AES-256, the cipher approved by the U.S. government for protecting top-secret information.
Automatic key rotation
Devices refresh their keys in every chat automatically during use. Each refresh replaces the previous keys.
On-device encryption
Chat history is stored in an encrypted database on your device. Its key is held in the device’s secure key storage, on that device only.
Security codes
Verify a contact’s security code to confirm the identity of the person you are communicating with.
Two-step verification
Protect your account with a PIN that is required whenever your phone number is registered on a new device.
IP address protection in calls
When “Protect IP address in calls” is enabled, calls are relayed through AviNat servers so that the other participant does not see your IP address.
03The app
A complete messenger. Private by default.
Chats, calls, stories and channels in one fast, uncluttered app.
- Chats
Secure messaging
Text, voice messages, photos, videos, files, reactions and replies, in one-to-one and group chats. All end-to-end encrypted.
- Calls
Encrypted voice and video calls
High-quality voice and video calls, one-to-one or in groups. Standard calls are end-to-end encrypted, with a new key for every call.
- Stories
Stories with audience control
Share a photo, a video or a text status for 24 hours, and choose exactly who can see it.
- Channels
Channels for broadcasting
Create a public or private channel and broadcast to your followers. Followers are not visible to one another. Channels are not end-to-end encrypted.
04AviNat Pro
Talk in your language. They hear theirs.
Real-time translation for voice and video calls. Each participant chooses the language they want to hear, from more than 70, with live captions of the original speech and its translation.
- A monthly allowance of translated-call minutes
- Only the caller uses minutes. The person you call does not need Pro.
- A PRO badge next to your name
Messages and standard calls remain free and unlimited. Translated calls are not end-to-end encrypted, and the app informs both participants before each call. Translation is automated and may contain errors. Availability may vary by country and account. Terms of Use
How translated calls work
A translated call is a separate type of call, kept apart from AviNat’s encrypted calls.
Start and accept
Start a translated call from the Translate tab, a chat or a contact. Both participants are informed that the call is not end-to-end encrypted, and the recipient must accept it.
Choose a language
Each participant selects the language they want to hear, from more than 70. The spoken language is detected automatically.
Real-time translation
Audio is sent to AviNat servers, and our translation service streams it to our AI partner. Translated speech and captions are returned within a few seconds.
No recording
AviNat does not record or store the audio, the video or the captions. A record that the call took place (who called whom, and when) is kept for 30 days.
Translation is automated and may contain errors. For confidential conversations, use a standard call. Help Center
Frequently asked questions
Is AviNat free?
Yes. Messages and standard voice and video calls are free and unlimited, with no advertising. AviNat Pro is an optional monthly subscription for translated calls.
Can AviNat read my messages?
No. Messages and standard calls are end-to-end encrypted, so AviNat has no access to their content: our servers relay them in encrypted form only, and the keys remain on your devices. For the same reason, AviNat is technically unable to provide that content in response to any request. Channels, stories, translated calls and profile information are not end-to-end encrypted, and the app labels them.
What is post-quantum protection?
Future quantum computers may be able to break the classical encryption that protects much of today’s internet traffic. Every AviNat chat combines classical encryption (X25519) with ML-KEM-768, a post-quantum standard published by NIST, so that messages recorded today remain protected in the future.
How long are messages kept on your servers?
Messages pass through our servers in encrypted form and are deleted once every recipient device has received them, or after 30 days if they are never collected. Your message history is stored on your own devices and, if you enable it, in your own encrypted backup.
Who can make translated calls?
Translated calls are included in AviNat Pro. Only the caller uses minutes, so the person you call does not need Pro.
How do I sign in?
With your phone number and a one-time code. Other people can also find you by your username.
Is AviNat available for iPhone and Android?
Yes. AviNat is available on the App Store for iPhone and on Google Play for Android.
How do I delete my account?
In the app, go to You > Account > Delete account. The Help Center explains what happens to your information.
Take control of your privacy.
AviNat is free for iPhone and Android, with no advertising and no tracking. Sign in with your phone number to get started.
