Private space for the people who matter most.

Payra is a messaging app built for families and close friends — end-to-end encrypted chats, crystal-clear voice & video calls, and guardian controls that keep your loved ones safe. No ads. No tracking. No noise.

End-to-end encrypted Guardian controls Data lives on your phone Free forever
Everything you need

One app for your whole circle

Chat, call, and share — designed to be simple enough for grandparents and safe enough for kids.

Instant Messaging

Fast, reliable chats with read receipts, replies, reactions and typing indicators — delivered even when the app is closed.

Voice & Video Calls

Crisp, low-latency calls that connect device-to-device whenever possible — and they're encrypted end-to-end, just like your messages.

Private File Sharing

Photos, videos and documents travel peer-to-peer over an encrypted channel when both of you are online — your files, no middleman.

Family & Friends Circles

Organize your world into Family and Friends — a closed network where only people you've approved can ever reach you.

Guardian Controls

Parents can add children under a guardian account, approve who they talk to, and keep the family circle safe — without reading their messages.

Encrypted Key Backup

Move to a new phone without losing your chats — your keys are backed up encrypted with a password only you know.

Security first

Encryption that goes to the next level

Payra was designed around one rule: only you and the person you're talking to can read your messages. Not us. Not our servers. Nobody else.

1

Keys are born on your device

When you sign up, your phone generates a unique cryptographic key pair. The private key never leaves your device — our servers never see it.

2

Direct key exchange

When you connect with someone, your devices exchange public keys and agree on a shared secret — end to end, so even Payra's servers can't derive it.

3

Everything is sealed

Every message, call and file is encrypted on your device before it's sent, and only decrypted on the recipient's device. In between, it's unreadable.

Keys are exchanged directly between devices.
The server only carries sealed, unreadable data.
Zero-knowledge by design
Our servers
store nothing
Your phone
is the database
Chats, media and history are saved in encrypted storage
on your own device — nowhere else.
Nothing to leak. Nothing to sell.
Your data, your device

We don't store your messages. Your phone does.

Most apps keep your entire chat history on their servers. Payra doesn't. Your conversations live in one place only: your own phone.

Everything is saved on-device

Messages, photos, files and call history are stored in your phone's encrypted local database — they never sit in a cloud archive.

Servers only pass messages along

Our servers act as a courier, not a warehouse: a sealed message is held just long enough to reach your contact, then it's gone from our side.

Safe even if we're breached

A server with no stored conversations has nothing to expose. Your history stays with you — always on your device, always under your control.

Built for families

Safe for kids. Simple for everyone.

Payra isn't another public social network — it's a closed, calm space. Guardians decide who can reach their children, and every new contact needs explicit approval.

Approved contacts only

Strangers can't message you or your kids. Every connection starts with a request you accept — or don't.

Guardian oversight

Add family members under your guardian account and manage their circle — protection without surveillance.

No ads, no algorithms

No feed to scroll, no engagement tricks, no data sold. Just the people you chose, and nothing else.
