Session Website
Session is a private messenger that aims to remove any chance of metadata collection by routing all messages through an onion routing network. Installs to your home screen from any modern browser — no app store, no download, its manifest declares standalone display with a 256px icon, and it caches nothing for offline use, so it needs a connection. Checked by hand on 8 August 2026.
Not sure how to add Session Website to your home screen? Step-by-step for Chrome, Safari, Firefox and Edge — it takes about ten seconds, and there is no app store involved.
