Hey PH — Matt here, founder of VEIL. I'm Australian, and last year NSW introduced Digital Evidence Access Orders — police can compel you to hand over access to your devices and accounts. VEIL is my answer: a messenger built so complying fully with the law still leaves nothing to extract. Zero-knowledge server. Ephemeral by default. Post-quantum hybrid keys. And the part I care about most — every claim on our architecture page is labelled Implemented, Experimental, or Not claimed. No "military-grade" hand-waving. Scrutiny welcome: tryveil.app/architecture We're in iOS beta, capped at 1,000 founding members (badge + permanent spot on the founders wall). Android → waitlist. Ask me anything, including the hard questions about what VEIL can't protect against. — Matt, Founder, VEIL

We just published a full 5-minute walkthrough of VEIL — all seven powers (decoy codes, duress wipe, wipe-from-either-side, steganography, hidden vaults, encrypted private notes, one-tap new identity), how data storage compares to the top five messaging apps when a phone gets seized, and the post-quantum ML-KEM-768 handshake. Real app screens throughout. Watch: https://tryveil.app/landing — iOS founding cohort (1,000 seats): https://testflight.apple.com/joi... — Matt

Big update from the founder: VEIL is now a fully native iOS app — no wrappers, no web shell, rebuilt from the ground up. This is the final pre-launch TestFlight before we submit to the App Store. Founding cohort places are still open (1,000 cap, no phone number needed — duress + decoy codes, encrypted vault, steganography). Join the final beta here: https://testflight.apple.com/joi... — Matt

We've been quiet, so here's the update: VEIL is now Vardum. We open-sourced our code, finished our final iPhone beta build, started selling Pixels with GrapheneOS Hardened "Graph", opened 12 Android beta spots (email matt@tryvardum.app), and built local AI for phone and desktop (in testing). See it all: https://tryvardum.app. Vardum isn't affiliated with or endorsed by GrapheneOS.

VEIL is now Vardum

Because of trademark issues with the name Veil, we've rebranded to Vardum, ahead of our independent cryptographic audit planned for early 2027. Same app, same team, same encryption. Your account, Vardum ID (formerly your Veil ID), contacts and conversations all carry over, and there's nothing you need to do.

We're also building Vardum for Android.

Private messaging that stays private, even if someone has your phone.
