Public when you want. Private when it matters.
A private social media app for public sharing and encrypted conversation
Zirze combines a public social feed with end-to-end encrypted private Chat between people who follow each other. You can share posts broadly without moving personal conversations into a separate messaging app. Chat content is encrypted on users’ devices, and Zirze servers receive ciphertext rather than message plaintext during ordinary operation.
What makes Zirze privacy-first?
Privacy-first means the boundary between public and private communication is clear. Social posts are meant for public sharing. Chat and Flares are private features for mutual followers, and their content is end-to-end encrypted.
Encryption protects message content, but it does not make all account or delivery metadata disappear. Zirze keeps the limited account, routing, safety, and service data described in its Privacy Policy.
How public and private sharing work together
- Publish Social posts for broader discovery and conversation.
- Use encrypted Chat after two people follow each other.
- Send encrypted Flares to selected mutual followers instead of the whole feed.
- Choose when each Flare expires.
Who is Zirze for?
Zirze is for people who like social discovery but want a more deliberate path into private conversation. It is designed to keep public expression and private communication in one experience without pretending they have the same privacy model.
