Versions:
Keet is a peer-to-peer chat application published by Holepunch, currently available in version 4.21.0.0, with a total of eight recorded versions in the catalog. Positioned within the instant messaging and secure communications category, the software is designed to enable private, encrypted communication without reliance on centralized servers. Its core purpose is to let users communicate directly with one another in a fully peer-to-peer manner, meaning that messages, calls, and shared content travel between participants rather than passing through or being stored on an intermediary server. Keet supports end-to-end encryption for private messaging, voice and video calls, and file sharing, making it suitable for users who prioritize confidentiality in their daily communications. The application allows users to send text messages, files, high-quality videos, and photos with no stated limitations on size or quantity, which broadens its use cases to include personal conversations, private group collaboration, and the exchange of large media files that might be restricted on conventional platforms. A distinguishing characteristic of Keet is its approach to identity and account creation: no phone number or email address is required to sign up, and user identities are instead secured with a 24-word seed phrase, aligning the software with privacy-focused and decentralized technology practices. Typical use cases include secure one-on-one messaging, encrypted voice and video communication, and the transfer of documents, images, and video content between parties who wish to avoid server-based data storage. The emphasis on being always peer-to-peer and never server-based defines both its architecture and its appeal to users concerned about data custody. As a cataloged entry, Keet represents Holepunch's offering in the encrypted communications space, with its version history reflecting ongoing development, and version 4.21.0.0 marking the most current release documented at the time of cataloging.
