Hey there 👋
The last two months? Busy. Productive. A little intense (in the best way). We shipped major updates, refactored deep under the hood, and launched a protocol that’s been in the works for a while. Plus, we got a wave of real-world feedback. some of it stung, all of it helped. Exactly what we needed.
Let’s break it down.
📦 Two big releases: built on real feedback
- v0.1.4 (The Punch-In-The-Face Update)
We dropped 0.1.4 at the end of September: a release that marked a turning point. After 0.1.3 hit the wild, users gave us real, raw feedback. And we listened. Hard.
At the heart of this release was a major overhaul of the core Rust crate. We refactored big chunks of the backend to align with a new API, which yes, meant rewriting a lot of stuff. But the result? Smoother, faster, and a lot more solid.
v0.1.4 Highlights:
🔧 Stability upgrades: reworked relay connections, event processing, and group logic.
🚀 Performance boosts: reduced lag, faster responses.
✨ UX polish: drafts now save securely. Chats scroll like they’re supposed to. “Start New Chat” got a facelift.
🧼 Visual tweaks: cleaner UI, skeleton loaders, bottom sheets with silky animations.
📱 Better support: Android v7a builds for older devices. Versioned binaries + SHA-256 hashes for the careful types.
Prepping for v0.2.0 ( We're Not Slowing Down)
After 0.1.4, we kept the momentum. A bunch of exciting things are landing:
🖼️ Image support: encrypted media sharing via the brand new MIP-04 spec.
🔔 Local notifications (Android-first): fully private, device-side alerts. No servers involved. You get notified, your privacy stays intact.
🙋‍♂️ UX enhancements: avatars in group chats. Smarter notifications.
🌍 Global ready: Multi-language support: English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Turkish.
🧑‍🤝‍🧑 Group Power-Ups: add people to existing groups without losing encryption guarantees.
- 🦫 Say Hi to MARMOT PROTOCOL
Now, here’s the big one: Marmot. Yeah, we launched a protocol. It’s native to Nostr, built from scratch, and (not to brag) it’s a game-changer for secure group messaging.
What makes Marmot different?
Marmot combines MLS (Messaging Layer Security) with Nostr’s decentralized architecture.
That means:
🔒 True End-to-End encryption: only you and your people can read your messages.
🌐 No central servers: no single point of failure. Or censorship.
🕵️‍♂️ Metadata protection: not just the message, it hides who you’re talking to.
🧢 Identity flexibility: No phone numbers. No emails. Just your keys.
🔥 Censorship resistance: if one relay goes down, another steps in.
MIP-04 (Secure Media, Done Right). It lets you share images and files securely in Marmot groups.
Here’s what’s under the hood:
🔐 ChaCha20-Poly1305 AEAD encryption
🗂️ Content stored via content-addressed systems like Blossom
🔁 Forward secrecy & post-compromise security
✅ Integrity checks to make sure no one’s tampering
❤️ We don’t just slap features together… we design them to last.
🎤 On the Global Stage
In case you missed it: @nprofile…j9et and @nprofile…xtmh hit the stage at the Lugano Plan B Forum, talking about privacy, Bitcoin, and how to build messaging that actually respects you. (Spoiler: people listened.)
🚧 What’s next
Marmot is still in development( experimental but promising). The cryptography is solid, and we’re iterating fast. New release in COMING SOON, and real-world testing is shaping every release.

In the digital age, we’re more connected than ever and less free than we’ve ever been.
We’ve grown used to it.
Used to being watched.
Used to being tracked, profiled, manipulated.
We hand over our phone numbers, our metadata, our lives... not because we want to, but because we think we have no other choice.
Surveillance has become the default.
Vulnerability is now expected.
Privacy is treated like a luxury. Or worse, a threat.
Big tech sells us “secure” apps while mining our behavior.
Governments speak of “safety” while expanding their power to listen in.
Even the platforms once built to protect us have been co-opted, regulated, or compromised.
We celebrate financial freedom while our conversations are still wide open.
We trust tools that require phone numbers and cloud backups then act surprised when they leak.
We encrypt our money, but not our voices.
But privacy is not a side quest.
It’s not optional.
It’s the foundation.
True digital freedom means having control over what you say, who you are, and who gets to listen.
It means resisting the normalization of constant surveillance.
It means building and using tools that don’t compromise.
That’s why we built White Noise.
A messenger with no numbers, no emails, no identities forced on you.
Just encrypted, censorship-resistant communication on a decentralized network.
No ads. No gatekeepers. No backdoors.
Because in a world where surveillance is the norm, privacy is resistance.
And without privacy, there is no freedom.

🚀 White Noise v1.0.4 is out now. Faster, Stronger, Cleaner.
Thank you to everyone who tested v0.1.3 and gave us feedback.
As the saying goes, everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face. Well, we got punched in the face on the last release.Being able to see the real-world usage and issues that cropped up was invaluable, however.
You should see significant improvements across the board.
For v1.0.4 we took on a major refactor of the underlying rust crate that does most of the heavy lifting in the app.
These "backend" changes required significant updates here in the app to align to the new rust API and includes numerous bug fixes, refactors many internal components for better maintainability, and improves the overall responsiveness of the application.
Finally, we did a lot of UI/UX polish along the way.
💪 Stability and Performance
- Improved backend: The backend that manages relay connects, event processing, and group operations has been significantly overhauled resulting in a more stable and performant app.
- Improved Relay Handling: Relay connection checks have been refactored to provide better error handling and a more stable experience
Pull-to-refresh for relays has been removed to simplify the user experience
- Performance Fixes: Several performance improvements have been made to reduce lag and improve the overall responsiveness of the app
- Bug Fixes: Numerous bugs have been fixed, including issues with account switching, metadata handling, and chat message display
- Android Specific Fixes: Addressed a bug with sensitive clipboard handling for private key copying on Android
🔧 Features and Functionality
- Group Management: Users can now edit group names and descriptions from the group info page
- Message Drafts: Message drafts are now stored securely, so users won't lose their messages if they navigate away from a chat
- Improved Navigation: Added back buttons in the authentication flow and improved navigation within the app
- Key Package Admin: Added a new screen for managing key packages
📱 UI/UX Enhancements
- Improved Chat Experience: The chat auto-scroll behavior has been enhanced to work better with the keyboard, preventing messages from being hidden.
The swipe-to-reply widget has also been refactored
- Redesigned "Start New Chat" Sheet: The "Start New Chat" sheet has been redesigned for better performance and usability, reducing load times and improving scrolling
- Skeleton Loaders: Skeleton loaders have been added to provide a better user experience while content is loading
- Emoji Picker and Reactions: The emoji picker and reaction dialogs are now more responsive and visually appealing
- Consistent UI Components: Various UI components, such as buttons, icons, and headers, have been unified and made consistent across the application
- Custom Bottom Sheet: A new custom bottom sheet with fade-in/out animations has been implemented for a smoother user experience
- Visual Polish: Numerous small visual improvements have been made, such as adjusting padding, fixing alignments, and updating icon colors

Privacy isn’t a crime fighting strategy. It’s a human right.
On Oct 14, EU governments are slated to vote on ‘Chat Control.’
The pitch is child protection. The reality is scanning everyone’s private messages and weakening end-to-end encryption.
679 scientists from 36 countries have signed an open letter explaining why this won’t work and will make us less safe.
Their bottom line:
- Large-scale CSAM (Child Sexual Abuse Material) detection cannot reach acceptable accuracy. It’s easy to evade and floods systems with false positives.
- On-device scanning breaks E2EE by design, creating single points of failure and new targets for abuse.
- Expanding “mitigations” (AI filters, age checks) adds complexity and risk, not security.
(Find the full letter in the comments)
Why mass scanning is the wrong tool:
1. It flips the presumption of innocence. Treating every citizen like a suspect is not “safety”. It’s surveillance.
2. It’s the bedroom-camera problem. Putting spyware on every phone to catch a few criminals is like installing cameras in every bedroom to prevent murders. We all want to stop harm. Violating the privacy of millions of innocents isn’t the way.
3. Function creep is inevitable. Once the scanning pipeline exists, it can be re-tuned for politics, speech, and power. Borders shift, laws change. What’s legal here may be criminal elsewhere. Who draws the line next year?
4. You can’t “re-secure” leaked data. Privacy is protective armor, not a PR setting. Once stripped, it’s gone.
👁️ The cypherpunk lesson:
As Eric Hughes wrote, “Privacy is necessary for an open society in the electronic age.”
Cypherpunks didn’t ask for permission. they wrote code so ordinary people could have the same defensive tech that institutions take for granted.
That’s not a niche hobby. It’s democratic hygiene.
🫶 Better ways to protect children (and everyone) :
Real protection doesn’t require blanket surveillance. It needs education, prevention, faster takedowns, resourced investigators (with warrants and due process), targeted operations (against offenders, not dragnet scans of the innocent).
These are exactly the pathways experts (and the UN) recommend: effective, proportionate, and rights-preserving.
💪 Build the free, private stack:
We already have tools that defend both safety and liberty without backdoors:
- Bitcoin for open, borderless payments.
- Nostr to own your identity and content.
- White Noise for truly private messaging: no phone numbers, no emails, end-to-end encryption with forward secrecy and post-compromise security.
This isn’t about ‘nothing to hide.’
It’s about the power to live, speak, organize, report, and dissent without pre-approval.
A controlled population is not a free population.
And a free society is the best long-term defense against abuse and corruption alike.

v0.1.3 Release: "Decentralization is Hard”
https://github.com/parres-hq/whitenoise_flutter/releases/tag/v0.1.3

2025-08-30 09:25:31 UTC

We know the app had a rough patch.
And we’ve heard you. Your feedback has been invaluable, and we’ve been heads down fixing bugs, improving performance, and laying the groundwork for a smoother, more secure experience.
Last month was a milestone period for WhiteNoise, our secure messaging app built on the Nostr protocol and Message Layer Security (MLS).
Between significant product releases, major conference presentations, and ongoing development work, the team has been firing on all cylinders to advance the future of private communications.
The centerpiece of August was our [v0.1.3 release] (link in the comments), aptly titled "Decentralization is Hard."
This release focused squarely on addressing user-reported issues and improving the fundamental user experience around data fetching and relay management: core challenges that anyone building on decentralized infrastructure faces.
🎯 Major Features Added
1. Search & Discovery
We significantly enhanced how users find and connect with each other:
- Comprehensive chat search --> with message highlighting for finding conversations quickly
- Chat list search --> to navigate growing contact lists effortlessly
- Enhanced QR code functionality --> including login via QR code and improved safety with npub validation
2. User Profiles & Contact Management. The social layer got major improvements:
- Enhanced user profiles --> with copy npub functionality and better group member views
- Improved group management --> allowing admins to remove users and add members to existing groups
- Streamlined connection flows --> with redesigned profile sheets
3. Network & Relay Management
Perhaps most importantly for a decentralized app, we shipped a complete relay management system:
- Real-time relay status monitoring
- Add/edit relay options with validation
- Pull-to-refresh functionality
- Improved relay selection based on the outbox model
🔧 UI/UX Improvements
The release included dozens of polish improvements.
From consistent paste/copy buttons across inputs to fixed message content wrapping, scrollable bottom sheets, and enhanced reaction displays.
We also updated splash screens for both iOS and Android with proper dark mode support.
🐛 Stability & Bug Fixes. We tackled fundamental stability issues including:
- Major metadata cleanup --> standardizing on `displayName` throughout the app
- Authentication fixes --> for login flows and profile creation
- Relay management improvements --> fixing issues where existing relay lists were getting overwritten
- Enhanced error handling --> with proper mounted checks to prevent widget disposal errors
💪 Beyond the Release: Big Refactors and Performance Work
Since v0.1.3 shipped, the team hasn't slowed down.
We've been deep in major refactoring work focused on stabilizing the app's foundation and dramatically improving reliability and performance.
While this work isn't as immediately visible as new features, it's critical for building a messaging app that users can depend on daily.
A major catalyst for this work was our team meeting in Riga, where we came together in person to brainstorm and plan the next version of WhiteNoise.
There's something irreplaceable about having the whole team in the same room, discussing architecture decisions, and aligning on priorities.
The insights and momentum from those sessions have directly shaped our current development sprint.
The next release will showcase the fruits of this labor.
Expect superior reliability and performance that reflects our growing understanding of building production-ready applications on Nostr infrastructure.

2025-07-27 09:22:08 UTC

That's correct.
Also White Noise uses the new internet standard Message Layer Security (MLS) which is well audited and has security proofs, while SimpleX has their own encryption scheme. In theory White Noise should scale to encrypted groups with millions of participants, we still have a lot of work to do to make this possible.
The main difference is, that White Noise builds ontop of the Nostr MLS protocol, and so it should be compatible with a lot of other nostr clients that will support secure messages, like @nprofile…5zx8

Simplex is an inspiration for White Noise, we need similar or even better encryption ontop of nostr web of trust. It will take a while before White Noise is stable, but until then it's a fun adventure to explore and give feedback on how we can make it better.

2025-07-26 09:00:52 UTC

Centralized platforms ask for your ID. Then they lose it. White Noise doesn’t collect what can be hacked.
No phone number, no email, no face scans. Just messages, fully encrypted.

Yes this has to be designed better to be intuitive with the privacy aspects.
If you start a chat with someone, nobody knows about it.
But adding someone to your contact list is the same as your follow list in other Nostr clients, so those are inherently public.

The difficulty lies in the obfuscated metadata, on the relay is only a event with cypher text, a random group ID, signed by a random key, and those continuously rotate for a group. So White Noise would have to communicate to pokey for which group IDs to look for, a non trivial change to the code.

That's what we're using, but there is nuance here, we need a new outbox list for key package events and for group events.

Nice writeup. Thanks!
We have some ideas of sharing the recent or entire message history to new devices added to a user. Basically add a link to an encrypted blossom blob with the previous messages.
Getting a new client up to speed seems doable, and then it works out of the box for future messages.

Just checked, and indeed it's still stuck in Apple review, sorry about that!

Check again, it should be there.

Notifications are hard to do in a privacy preserving way, we'll be tackling this eventually.

Check if your relays are connected, that should solve the invite issue.
Delete chats is coming soon.

Thanks for the report, that's fixed now.

No, we will not implement legacy DMs, we build for the future.
Eventually Primal will implement MLS and be compatible with White Noise.

Push notifications are not yet implemented, and will only be implemented if they are secure and encrypted.

This account won't be active on MLS, please write @nprofile…a56j instead.

The release should be backwards compatible.
Breaking changes are 1.0.0

2025-07-12 07:16:21 UTC

Yes!
The MLS protocol has numerous security proofs from different teams.
The open-mls library is audited as well.
We will instigate an official audit of the nostr-mls crate in the rust-nostr library, and of the white noise codebase.
It does not make sense to do this audit at this early stage, but this is something we'll likely look into later this year.

We keep building tomorrow!

We built White Noise with @nprofile…nztg as officially supported operating system, so it should work without disabling the hardening settings.
What exactly was not working before and got fixed with enabling those?
Devs are looking into it.

It’s happening. White Noise is now live on TestFlight (iOS) 📲
Apple users, are you ready to try truly private, decentralized messaging? 🚀

Group chat is woefully underdeveloped, please have a little patience until we ship some improvements there.

The relay sees your IP, so use a VPN or Orbot.
A MLS event has only a random group ID, and cypher text, and a signature from an ephemeral key, so the relay doesn't know who is messaging, how many people are in a group, or how old a group is.

White noise has no blue light...

2025-07-11 13:39:17 UTC

Correct. For now it's strongly recommended to use a VPN or Orbot. Eventually White Noise will have integrated Tor or Nym client with secure identity management.

Amber support coming as soon as it's implemented in rust-nostr.
In the mean time, just create a new nsec, they're free!

2025-07-11 09:44:58 UTC

We’ve rolled out v0.1.1 a collection of post-launch bug fixes to smooth things out:
✅ Replaced legacy NIP-04 invites with native OS share sheet
✅ Improved contact loading and scrolling performance
✅ Fixed image upload issue in profile editing
✅ Lazy loading added for auth flow
Appreciate the ongoing feedback, keep it coming!

Looks like internet issues on your side, try again, maybe with a different VPN exit.

In one of the upcoming releases you can configure relays inside white noise, then run any relay software on your server and point to it.
