Rolo Secure Chat

👋 Hi Hunters! I'm Alex, one of the founders of Rolo Secure Chat (www.ROLO.chat) a chat and calling app that we built with BlackBerry's end-to-end encryption technology (yes, the keyboard phone company that has been trusted by banks and governments for decades to secure their communications.) We're currently in the soft launch phase of Rolo, and hoping to get more early adopters like those in the PH community to help us test it out and guide our feature roadmap. The app is free, with premium packages coming in Q4 2021 (of course we'll be offering promos to our early active users if you sign up soon.) So why ANOTHER chat app? WE’RE BUILDING A CHAT APP WITH FEATURES FOR PROFESSIONALS While Rolo can be used internally, we’re focusing on that external B2B communication. One example of a business feature is our File access control: When sending a PDF or image file, you can set it to “View Only” mode, so that it can only be viewed within Rolo. WE DON’T SELL YOUR DATA  Most chat apps are built for consumers and focus on monetizing their apps by selling their data for advertising purposes. Rolo does not sell our user data. Later in 2021, we’ll offer premium features we believe will entice enough of our users to help cover our costs. WE PUT SECURITY FIRST  Your chats in Rolo are end-to-end encrypted by BlackBerry, so you can trust that nobody other than the participants of the chat has access to your messages. More features are coming soon too that will protect every part of your communications. Before we launch our planned business features, this release is about making Rolo a robust secure chat app. We still have so much left to build, but we’d love you to see what we’ve got and give your feedback, so please give it a try (and an upvote!) ⬆️ Please drop me any questions here or better yet, add for me on Rolo!

What are the befits of Rolo in comparison to Signal? Adding a whole new chat messaging service that quite does the same misses the point of replacing apps like Whatsapp I think. People won't move if they can't find enough people to move with them and people are already complaining about having too many social media apps they have to use every day. Don't you think the solution to make something like this succesful and useful is to make it something more revolutionary close to sms, mail and a multiplatform iMessage where people can use other apps to message and call the same people? Competing against apps that are competing with Whatsapp won't make people move from whatsapp to other apps, right? Or isn't that what you are going for?

@pregenun Hi John, thanks for the questions! Actually we're quite different from Signal, WhatsApp etc. We're fans of those app's simplicity, and hope to be as easy-to-use, but actually our mid-term product strategy is quite different. We have several business-focused features lined up, that will increasingly differentiate us from those consumer-focused chat apps. The first of those features is available in the app today, and that's "File access control". Basically when you send a file to a contact in Rolo, you can set it to be "View Only", i.e. it cannot be taken out of the app. At a later date if you want, you can also revoke all access to the file. This feature is particularly useful for professionals exchanging documents like confidential product specs.

I've listed this on my site as a startup to watch, with the following comment ;-) Steve says..."Are we about to see the latest must-have app offering with end-to-end encrypted chat, video, file sharing and more. And built with the Blackberry encryption engine, so presumably very reliable. The website possibly doesn't do justice to something big if it gets the right backing and assurances of stability and data protection. One to watch for sure."

@steveprocter Thank you Steve. Before being a Secure business chat app, Rolo needs to be a Secure private chat app that's easy to use. That the main objective of this first release. Given the feedbacks we've received, we should be on the right direction. As Alex mentioned, our target audience are businesses particularly SMEs who rely on consumer apps for their business communication. Interestingly, every company wants security and privacy but not everyone of them want to pay for it unless they have a business incentive. Our next major release this September will focus on those business features / incentives. Peace 🖖
