About Taftan
Taftan was built for situations where the internet is absent, messaging apps cannot be trusted, or information must not travel in plaintext.
Taftan helps people exchange messages using sound, a screen or a photo. No account is required.
Purpose
Communication between two devices.
Choose a method that suits your situation and test it before relying on it.
In memory of Kian Pirfalak
A small voice that imagined big machines. Taftan is dedicated to his memory, and to every voice that should still be in the room. We built it so a message can travel where the network cannot follow.
Operating principles
