End-to-End Encryption (E2EE) P2P meets
Next-Gen Local AI
Your conversations are protected by rigorous End-to-End Encryption (E2EE) and move directly between devices without passing through a central server. Servers only facilitate the connection; no one can eavesdrop. Plus, we've integrated a lightweight Local AI (SLM) assistant that operates entirely on your phone, fundamentally blocking any data leaks.
🍎 iOS version is scheduled for release in Q2 2026.
Why we designed and developed ieum
The repeated security breaches of major platforms and the reality that giant capital controls our data sovereignty without us knowing was a huge shock to us.
Seeing terms of service change unilaterally—where our private lives and intimate conversations are forcibly used as data fuel for massive corporate AI models just because the service is 'free'—we decided we could no longer entrust our assets and privacy to giant central servers.
Thus, we created ieum: a messenger where users have absolute control over their data by fusing communication technology that leaves zero message content on servers with independent On-Device AI technology that runs offline, fundamentally blocking data leaks.
Everyday Convenience and Total Data Sovereignty
You, not the server, are at the center of every communication. ieum offers a multitude of innovative features.
Perfect E2EE & Direct Connection
Your messages and calls are wrapped in top-tier X25519-based E2EE and transmitted directly between devices. The central server only relays the connection status, and data is deleted from the queue immediately upon receipt confirmation. (Even cloud backups are encrypted and can only be decrypted on your phone.)
On-Device Tiny Local AI
Runs the latest Small Language Models (Gemma-4-E2B, etc.) using your phone's own processing power without an internet connection. Translation, summarization, and sentence correction all happen locally—not a single letter escapes to external cloud servers like Google.
E2EE Multiplayer Group Chat
Supports secure group chats via a symmetric key exchange system. Rigorous encryption is guaranteed even in group rooms, and real-time announcements keep everyone updated on important messages.
High-Quality Voice & AR Video Calls
Enjoy crystal-clear P2P voice and video calls based on WebRTC. During video calls, apply facial recognition 'Cosplay Stickers' and real-time filters (Warm, Cool, Mono, etc.) for more vibrant communication.
Special Signal, 'CallingTalk'
Need to signal an urgent matter or the purpose of a call? Use 'CallingTalk' to send a message that acts like a phone call; the recipient sees the message on their incoming call screen and can reply immediately.
AI Document Vault with GraphRAG
Integrated 'Knowledge Graph (GraphRAG)' technology goes beyond simple keyword searches. Upload work PDFs or massive documents, and the AI will autonomously infer multi-dimensional relationships to provide deep, contextual Q&A offline on your phone.
Poof Messages & Real-time Editing
Send 'Poof Messages' with a self-destruct timer, or edit sent messages within 10 minutes. You can also [Delete for Everyone] at any time. You have total control over your data.
Rich Interaction: Reactions & Replies
React to messages with various emojis and maintain clarity with inline replies. Pin important messages to the top of the chat room.
Zero Personal Info, Anonymous Signup
We don't ask for phone numbers or emails. Generate a perfect account using a lightweight mathematical Proof of Work (PoW) on your smartphone and a 12-word mnemonic. Connect safely via @ID or QR codes.
Find Nearby Friends
Easily find other ieum users nearby via location-based services. You control your privacy by toggling the distance calculation feature only when you want it.
Animated High-Quality Stickers
Equipped with the latest Noto Animated stickers, allowing you to send unlimited dynamic, premium emoticons.
Rigorous App Security: Passcode & Blocking
Lock app entry with a numeric passcode. Maintain your safe space by 'Hiding' or 'Blocking' unwanted users.
Secure Chat Backup & Restore
Your precious chat history is strongly encrypted and backed up to cloud storage. You can safely restore your conversations on a new device anytime using your mnemonic key.
Custom Themes & Notification Tuning
Customize Light/Dark themes, font sizes, and chat backgrounds. Fine-tune notifications for 1:1 chats, group chats, and reactions.
