Zero-storage private messaging, built for India.
OpenDM is a privacy-first messaging platform designed for conversations that must not exist after they end.
The problem
Most messaging platforms store messages on servers, collect metadata, or monetize attention. Even encrypted platforms retain data that can be accessed, leaked, or misused
For professionals handling sensitive communication, this creates unacceptable digital risk.
What is OpenDM?
OpenDM is a peer-to-peer messaging platform where messages are never stored on servers. Conversations are end-to-end encrypted, ephemeral by design, and permanently deleted when a chat is closed
How OpenDM works
Messages travel directly between devices.
Keys are generated and destroyed locally.
Chats are deleted permanently.
Prevents screenshots and screen recording where supported by the OS.
The app automatically deactivates outside India to reduce cross-border risk.
Only user-selected messages are shared if a chat is reported.
