Private messenger

Messages that live in a repo you own

Encrypted chat with no central server — your git repo is the mailbox, live when you’re both online.

What can a git host see?

They host encrypted blobs and a few plaintext coordination files (for example read receipts and the live handshake envelope). They cannot read your message bodies if encryption is in place. They can see that the repository is active. Use a host you trust for availability — not for privacy of content.

Why do I need an access token?

Glitr writes to your repository from the app. Hosts require a personal access token with permission to read and write contents. The token stays on your device. We do not operate a login server that stores it.

Why isn’t every message instant?

When the other person is offline, git is the mailbox: write, push, they fetch later. That is seconds, not milliseconds. When you are both online, Glitr opens a live link and messages travel directly. If that link drops, send falls back to git.

Your messages. Your repository.

Open Glitr, connect a repo you already control, and send.
