# 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.

- **AbabilX/ababilx-mobile**: The Android app’s source on GitHub (AGPL-3.0).

## 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.
