My circle only
One switch and you're out of search. Only people you already share a chat with — direct or a room — can message or call you first. That's how you set it up for your parents
A place for your everyday
A Sunday plan. A familiar voice. A conversation that picks up where you left off
A little closer to your people
Chats for family and friends
Everyone on one screen
Group video calls with Flame

Privacy
The server delivers. It does not peek
Messages and calls are end-to-end encrypted. Your devices hold the keys. Account details, avatars and information you choose to send to support are explained in our privacy policy
Messages are encrypted on device before they are sent
Photos and files are encrypted before upload
Notification previews are decrypted on your device
How data travelsFrom the protocol spec
The message is encrypted on the phone (MLS). The server sees only ciphertext and who to deliver it to; the keys never leave the phones
Every chat is an MLS group. When someone joins or leaves, the group key changes for everyone and the epoch moves on. The server sees the roster, not the key
A photo is sealed on the phone into a blob (AES-GCM) and goes to storage separately. The blob key travels inside the encrypted message
The push arrives without text. The phone decrypts the preview itself and only then shows the name and the message
Status

Mission
Your people, close — wherever they are
I’m building Comin on my own. I want you to be able to talk with the people who matter, wherever they are — next door or on the other side of the world. No phone number, and no one reading along
Comin has no investors and no ads, so it runs on support from people who care about it. You can support the project right in the app — with a Comin Flame subscription or the early access pack: that’s what keeps the servers running and the work going
