Olvid is a French encrypted messenger that works without any central user directory: no phone number, no email, no metadata. It is certified by the French national cybersecurity agency.

Olvid is developed in Paris, France, and takes a unique approach to secure messaging: there is no central directory of users at all, which means the service stores virtually no metadata about who talks to whom.

Olvid is certified by ANSSI, the French national cybersecurity agency, and has been adopted by the French government for internal communication. The applications are open source.
