A private messenger for Mac
Talk privately with the people you love.
Sparrow is an end-to-end encrypted messenger for Mac. Sign up with a passkey, invite your friends with a link, and talk.
01 · Sign up
Sign up with a passkey.
No phone number needed, and no email either. Your keys are made on your Mac and backed up to your Apple Account with a passkey, or to a recovery key or a security key.
02 · Private
Only you.
Only you and the people you write to can read your messages.
Every chat is end-to-end encrypted. Sparrow's server delivers your messages without being able to read them.
03 · Invite
Invite friends by link.
Send a friend your invite link. When they open it, Sparrow starts a chat with you. There are no phone numbers to swap.
The little things.
Made for Mac
A native app, built with SwiftUI for macOS.
One vault
Your history, chat list, contacts and settings live in an encrypted vault only your devices can open.
Just for them
Your name and photo are encrypted too, and only go to the people you message.
Emoji check
Add another Mac by comparing emoji on both screens.
MLS inside
Every chat, direct or group, is encrypted with MLS (RFC 9420), an IETF standard.
Stickers
Telegram stickers render natively.
Bots welcome
Existing Telegram bots can run unchanged through Sparrow's bot gateway.
Candidly
The server still sees some metadata, like who is in which chat, timing and sizes. Never what you say.
