  • Pirate Bay cofounder is building ‘Heml.is’ an NSA-proof messaging app

    Pirate Bay cofounder is building ‘Heml.is’ an NSA-proof messaging app

    hemlis_ui_mocksHeml.is (Swedish word for “secret”) is an elegant messaging app for iOS and Android that uses end-to-end encryption to make sure no third party — governments and ISPs included — can intercept the users’ communication.

    Peter Sunde, co-founder of BitTorrent search engine The Pirate Bay, needs your help to create a private messaging app.

    New mobile messaging app that will have superior encryption to prevent pretty much any outside party from listening in on your conversation, he said. 

    Plenty of people are working on making supersecure communication services, but few have the kind of bragging rights that Sunde and Olsson do. Sunde previously attempted to create an ultrasecure cloud storage service, Bay Files, and both he and Olsson also cofounded the ambitious crowdfunded social platform Flattr.

    The app is crowdfunded with a goal of $100,000, with the donation counter currently standing at $27,000. Users who donate $5 or more get unlock codes for the app and other perks, depending on the size of the donation.

    Hemlis will initially be available on iOS and Android The app won’t necessarily be open source because that doesn’t guarantee privacy, but the founders do intend to stay as open as possible with Hemlis’s code. It also said it won’t collect data, sell advertising, or accept funding from investment firms or angel investors. “To guarantee the safety of our users, we can not accept any money ‘with string attached,’” the team wrote in a blog post that was posted recently.

    Why is Heml.is different from WhatsApp, MessageMe, iMessage etc?

    “Our focus is your privacy so we are building everything from software to company structure to protect that. The others are focused on maximising profit.”

     

    Update (on helm.is blog):

    Funded 100% in 36 hours!
    Wow and incredible thanks to all our backers for funding us in 36 hours! That is one hell of a thing to wake up to. Yeah!
