Originally developed for price negotiation in arts, car, house, and various off-price shopping, Yo.Me® is a truly private and secure communication channel. It’s as simple as a real world conversation. Just like in real life, what you write eventually fades away. This makes it private between you and your friends without any digital trace. Our novel technologies are protected by patents granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.

💨 Ephemeral messaging 💨
Your messages will gradually fade away. The smart timer computes how much information each message contains based on our algorithms. This adaptive reading experience mimics a real time conversation.

📵 Screenshot prevention 📵
Anti-screenshot of YoMe® is patented under US10, 666, 584 B2(granted). The technology can prevent anyone from using screenshots to trace information origin and recipients. Upon receiving an instant message, this app withholds the identity of the sender while pushing the message to the other users in the communication channel. Identity withholding is controlled by the sender. The disassociated message is displayed in a style that is common to users, for example, displaying in the middle, displaying in a common location, or even displaying in random locations on a screen of the message thread. Although someone can take a screenshot of a message, the screenshot does not contain any information that can be used to identify the actual sender of the message. In this case, users may generally rely on the context to appreciate the dynamics and/or flow of the conversation. The invention thus enables information sharing in an instant messaging system without the concern of screenshot.

🔐 End-to-end encryption 🔐
Only the sender and receiver can see the content. Other parties including Yo.Me® and your carriers can see only the encrypted message. Thus, there is no one else that can decode your messages except the people involved in the conversation. The sender can easily check finger print of user identification, and request additional biometrical information, e.g., personal voice, for verification before sending messages. This even improves on our daily in person conversations, where eavesdropping happens, intentionally or unintentionally.

💬 Multithreaded conversations. 💬
Yo.Me® was originally developed for price bargaining, group buying, and many work related use cases, where the function of initiating a new thread for discussing a new topic becomes critical to manage and organize information flow. Multithreaded messaging of Yo.Me® is patented under US10,135,769, B2 (granted). A user can select a particular message communicated with another user in a first thread to follow up on that particular message with the same other user in a new thread.

📨 Normal messaging 📨
Users can switch easily from ephemeral to normal messaging with 1-tap. In both modes, you can send text, photo, voice messages and other media content, as typical messaging apps.

♾️ It is free ♾️
Yo.Me® is free, with no advertisements, and no gimmicks. In essence, we strive to bring you nothing else but private and secure conversations.
