Stay connected without a VPN
When familiar services are blocked, staying in touch can mean turning on a VPN. We’re building UnderRose to resist blocking and help you stay connected without one.
Private communication. No ads.
Connect directly.
Stay connected. Without a VPN.
UnderRose connects your phones directly when your network allows it and protects your conversations with end-to-end encryption. We’re building an app that resists censorship and blocking, so you can communicate freely with the people close to you.
Voice and video calls, messages, and photos on iPhone and Android. End-to-end encryption. No ads.
Calls, messages, and photos. One app.
Catch up with loved ones, discuss work, or share a photo. Call and message in one app.
Talk face to face
Make one-to-one voice and video calls.
What does “Direct” mean?
When you see “Direct”, your phone is connected directly to the other person’s phone. Your call’s audio and video travel between the two devices without passing through a server.
Your circle, your choice
Add people by personal invitation or QR code. Exchange invitations with someone you trust. You choose who you connect with.
Resilience matters
Our mission is to keep people connected and protect their freedom to communicate. UnderRose is designed to work without a VPN and resist censorship and blocking, so that borders and restrictions do not silence conversations between families, friends, and communities.
We continually improve UnderRose’s resilience, though availability still depends on your network and local restrictions.
Why choose UnderRose?
Your conversations belong to you. Our priorities are simple: protect them, respect your attention, and defend your freedom to communicate.
Private by design
End-to-end encryption protects your calls and message content. Your contact list and conversation history stay on your device.
Your attention isn’t for sale
No ads. No advertising profiles. UnderRose is supported by people who believe in independent, private communication.
Freedom to stay connected
We build UnderRose to resist censorship and blocking. Keeping people connected is central to how we develop the app.
Support independent development
Everyone should be free to speak, share ideas, and stay close to the people they care about. Borders, censorship, and blocking should never decide who we can talk to.
We’re a small, independent team building UnderRose with that belief at heart. No advertising. No large corporation behind us. We rely entirely on the people who support our work.
Your contribution helps us keep building a place for private conversations and free expression. Help us keep people connected.
