Open source
The AbabilX Chat Android app is open source. Read it, build it, check how it encrypts.

The repository
The code of the AbabilX Chat Android app is public on GitHub under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 (AGPL-3.0). You can read exactly how it encrypts your messages, files and calls, build it yourself, and change it under the terms of that license.
No personal details needed
Most messengers start with your phone number or email address. AbabilX does not need either. Start New Chat creates your account from a key that stays on your phone, so you can talk to people without giving us your name, number or email.
- No phone number, no email and no name are required.
- Messages, calls and files are end-to-end encrypted. We cannot read them.
- Our server deletes each message once your devices have it.
- No ads, no trackers and no AI reading your chats.
What is public, and what is not yet
- Public: the Android app, including its encryption code.
- Coming next: our server, planned to be open-sourced in December 2026.
- Not public yet: the web client at chat.ababilx.com and the desktop app.
Parts of the app are adapted from Signal’s open-source code, which is also AGPL-3.0. Third-party code keeps its own license; the full list is in THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES in the repository.
