PockyAPPBETA

Private communication
under your control.

A secure messenger of the Pokecio community for Windows, Android and the web. Chats, voice notes, location sharing and channel news in one place, on our own server in the EU.

Why PockyAPP

A chat that belongs to the people who use it.

Our own server

Most chats run on someone else's servers and know more about their people than they should. PockyAPP runs on the Pokecio community server in the EU. We don't track, we don't sell and we show no ads.

Only the people you write to can read it

Messages in encrypted chats are encrypted on your device. Only the person you send them to can read them. We can't, and nobody on the way can.

No lock-in

The foundation is the open Matrix protocol. Your account works in Element too and you can chat with people on other servers. You can leave any time and lose nothing.

Chats

Messages that are fast and add nothing extra

Swipe to reply, add a reaction, edit or delete a message. Hold to record a voice note and see the real waveform. We strip the location data from photos before they leave your phone.

  • Ticks show delivered and read
  • Groups, invites and pinned messages
  • A message that failed to send can be retried
Timeline

News from your channels in one place

Posts from the channels you follow sit in a single list. Add up to six photos to a post, react and comment right in the list. Posts are ordinary messages, so people using Element see them too. Timeline is in alpha and Android-only for now.

  • Find public channels by searching
  • Edit or share your own post
  • The author gets notified about a comment
Location

Exact location, or just roughly

Share a place exactly, within 500 metres, or just the city. Your phone rounds the approximate location itself. Live location runs for 15 minutes, an hour or 8 hours and you can stop it any time. Whoever shares with you shows up on the map.

  • Maps of Czechia and Slovakia from our server
  • Live location keeps running with the app closed
  • Only the people you send it to
Computer and tablet

A full app on your computer too

The Windows version isn't a shrunken website. It has the chat list, gallery, map, notifications with quick reply and an app lock with a PIN or Windows Hello. On a tablet the list and chat sit side by side, and so do they in the web app.

Encryption, without the jargon

Picture sending a letter in a locked box. Only the person you're writing to has the key. That's how encrypted chats in PockyAPP work.

  1. You

    Locked on your phone

    The message is locked right on your phone, before it leaves.

  2. Server

    Has no key

    It delivers the locked box but only sees scrambled characters. Neither it nor we can open it.

  3. Your friend

    Unlocked with the key

    Their phone has the key, opens the box and shows the message.

What we don't know about you

No analytics
We don't collect statistics on how you use the app and we show no ads.
Our own server in the EU
Messages, maps and push run with us. Google doesn't know where you look on the map.
An open protocol
PockyAPP uses Matrix. Your account works in Element too and you can chat with people on other servers.
