WHY SESSION
Privacy is not an extra. It is the starting point.
Session reduces unnecessary exposure with randomized Account IDs, end-to-end encryption, and onion-routed messaging. The privacy model begins at account creation rather than being hidden behind advanced settings.
◇
End-to-end encryption
Direct messages and private groups are decrypted by conversation participants.
⌁
Decentralized network
Community-operated Session Nodes relay and temporarily store messages.
⌘
Open source
Public client and protocol code can be independently reviewed.
