// Why Pitopi

Built different.
By design.

Every decision we made was driven by one question: how do we get out of the way?

🔒

Zero-Knowledge

We have no idea what you're talking about. Literally. Messages are encrypted before they leave your device.

⚡

Real-Time P2P

WebRTC creates a direct tunnel between you and your contact. No relay servers, no latency overhead.

🗝️

Key-Based Auth

No passwords, no emails, no phone numbers. A cryptographic key file is your identity — lose it and we can't help you recover it.

📡

Story Sharing

Share moments that disappear in 12 hours. Viewable by anyone on the network, stored nowhere permanently.

🚫

No Ads. Ever.

Your attention is not our product. Pitopi is free because we believe privacy should be accessible, not monetized.

🌐

Open Source

Every line of code is public. Audit it, fork it, improve it. Trust through transparency, not promises.

// How it works

Three steps.
That's it.

Download your key

Generate a unique cryptographic key file. This 96-byte file is your entire identity. No sign-up form needed.

Connect to the network

Upload your key to sign in. You appear in the user list and can see who else is online right now.

Start a private session

Click a user, accept the WebRTC handshake, and your encrypted tunnel is live. Direct. Serverless. Instant.

Designed to be
uncompromising.

🛡️

Brute-Force Protection

Rate limiting and IP banning prevent automated attacks. After 5 failed attempts, access is suspended for 15 minutes.

📁

Exact-Byte Validation

Key files must be precisely 96 bytes. Anything else is rejected before parsing — no attack surface for malformed payloads.

🔐

No Stored Messages

Pitopi's server facilitates the WebRTC handshake only. Once connected, all data flows directly between peers. We couldn't read your messages even if we wanted to.
