Transparency you can check

Your Server File.
Anytime. One tap.

You don't have to take our word for it — you can look. In the app, your Server File shows the key data our server stores about your account: every sign-in with its IP address, your messages as raw data, every retention period. No request form, no waiting.

  1. Open your profile
  2. Go to “Security”
  3. Tap “View my data”
  • Instantly, not in days. The file is read live from the database every time you open it. For comparison: a WhatsApp account report is ready after about three days.
  • The core sections. Account and sign-ins, security, profile, identities, location, messages as raw data, metadata, groups, calls, contacts, files, archive and devices. We send you the complete copy on request.
  • With an expiry date. Each section says how long it is kept — from one day to “until you delete your account”.
  • Honest about what's missing. We deliberately don't show passwords, keys or internal abuse signals — and we tell you why.

The key data our server stores about your account

The file is read fresh from the database every time you open it. In the app, only you can request it. It shows the core sections of your account – for a complete copy of all stored data, email info@aicq.app. What is deliberately left out, and why, is listed at the bottom.

The text you write to each other in direct messages is stored end-to-end encrypted – readable only on your devices. If you turn off end-to-end encryption for a chat, new text messages in that chat are stored without it (open lock on the message). Not end-to-end encrypted: photos, videos, voice messages and files, notices from the app in the chat (e.g. “Missed call”, gifts), plus metadata such as previews, polls, lists, file names and transcripts.

How AICQ works

No phone number. No forced email. No hurdles — you're in within a minute.

1

Get the app

Download AICQ from the store and start right away — you automatically get your own AICQ number (UIN).

→ No email required

2

Add friends

Enter your friends' UIN or share your own. Done — nobody needs your phone number.

→ Your number stays private

3

Message safely

Write, call, share media. Your private texts are end-to-end encrypted; media, group chats and calls are encrypted in transit and access-protected on our servers and those of our calling provider. Your Server File shows you the key data.

→ Keys only on your device

Security you can touch

Type something — and see what the server sees

End-to-end encryption sounds abstract? Here it is live: your message on the left, what reaches us on the right.

The key is created and stays on your device. The text of private chats is encrypted following the Signal principle (double ratchet, ECDH P-256, AES-256-GCM) — neither we nor anyone else can read it. Photos, voice messages and group chats are stored securely but are not end-to-end encrypted (details). This demo illustrates the principle; nothing is transmitted.

🔒

Local P2P chat: your devices connect directly to each other. Our server only helps set up the connection — or, if there is no other way, relays it end-to-end encrypted. Nothing is stored: close the chat, and it's all gone.

Chat features

End-to-end encrypted

Private chats following the Signal principle. The server only sees encrypted text — the keys stay on your device.

One-time messages

Automatically deleted after reading — on the recipient's device and on the server.

Why AICQ

Privacy isn't a feature.
It's the foundation.

Most messengers make money from your data. AICQ doesn't. We built AICQ because a message concerns exactly two people: you and the person you're writing to. That's why encryption lives on your device, that's why there are P2P chats that run directly from device to device — and that's why you can delete your account yourself in seconds. And because trust needs to be verifiable, your Server File shows you at any time the key data we have stored. No data selling, no compromises.

Frequently asked

FAQ

Is AICQ free?
Yes. AICQ is free. Optional extras like theme packs or VIP numbers can be unlocked, but never have to be.
How secure is the encryption really?
The text of private chats is end-to-end encrypted following a proven principle: the keys are created and stay on your device, the server only sees encrypted text. In local P2P chat the devices even connect directly to each other, and nothing is stored. Try it in the live demo above.
Do I need a phone number?
No. You get your own AICQ number (UIN) and add friends via UIN. No phone number, no forced email.
Which platforms is AICQ available on?
AICQ for Android is available now on Google Play. The iPhone version is coming soon to the App Store – join the waitlist and we'll let you know.
Can I see what you store about me?
Yes, anytime and without a request: in the app, go to Profile → Security → “View my data” to open your Server File. It is read live from the database and shows the core sections with their retention periods — including what is deliberately left out, and why. For a complete copy, email info@aicq.app. See what it looks like
What is not end-to-end encrypted?
The text of your direct messages is end-to-end encrypted — unless you turn this off for a chat (tap “E2EE” in the chat); then every new text message shows an open lock. Photos, videos, voice messages, files, group, event and business chats and metadata such as polls, lists and file names are encrypted in transit and stored securely, but not end-to-end encrypted. The full overview is on the transparency page.
Can I keep my own files in AICQ?
Yes. Every UIN has its own archive: 1 GB for folders, notes, photos and videos (up to 100 MB per file). You find it in the app under Chats, in the bar with your groups — and only you can see it. Without a password it is encrypted in transit and stored securely, but not end-to-end encrypted. With a password (at least 3 characters), names, notes, photos and videos are encrypted on your device first. We never store the password — without it nobody can read the contents, not even us. If you delete your account, the archive is deleted with it. Read the details
What happens to my data?
As little as possible — and nothing hidden. We don't sell data. Which data we keep for how long, and which service providers are involved, is on the transparency page and in our privacy policy (German). You can delete your account yourself at any time.
Which languages does AICQ speak?
11 languages: German, English, French, Spanish, Turkish, Arabic, Portuguese, Russian, Chinese, Japanese and Hindi.
