Pigeon docs

What Pigeon does, and the principles it works by.

What Pigeon does

Feature	What it's for
Invite codes	Joining without a phone number or email. A code works once and links nobody to anybody.
Handles	An optional name people can look you up by, exactly, with look-alikes refused.
Seed phrase	Your account itself: 24 words, shown once, that take your account back if a device is lost.
Linked devices	Using Pigeon on more than one computer, and removing one that's lost or stolen.
Chats	One-to-one conversations, with pin, mute, archive, search and drafts.
Groups	Conversations with several people, with no admins and every change visible to all.
Attachments	Sending photos and files, encrypted on your device like messages.
Delivery through outages	Making sure an accepted message arrives, even when servers fail.
End-to-end encryption	Keeping every message readable only by the people in the conversation.
Trusted circle	Opt-in alerts to people you choose if your account changes hands.
Reporting	Telling us about abuse, without Pigeon ever scanning chats.
Transparency	Publishing every legal request we get, and what we could hand over.
The network	Carrying sealed messages between devices without being able to read them.
