Invite-only DMs.
Share what you want to, when you need to. Chat from your Bluesky handle and beyond on our end-to-end encrypted messenger.
E2EE, meet ATProto
Germ’s Bluesky integration is now in public beta for iOS. We’ve brought the power of Germ’s secure chats to AT Protocol, the social layer that powers Bluesky, Blacksky, Skylight, and the whole Atmosphere.
Why Germ DM?
Be all of you.
Build multiple, editable profile cards to control what you share with whom.
Your secrets are safe.
Modern, standards-based end-to-end encryption, so only the people you’re messaging can read your texts.
Chat instantly.
Show your QR code or share a link to launch our instant app on a new friend’s iPhone - no need for them to download in the App Store.
Focus & remember.
Set different notifications for different types of connections, and annotate friends’ cards with nicknames or notes.
Your world, not ours.
You control who can find you, and all connections are mutual opt-in, with no recommendations or introductions from Germ. Your friends can’t even share your contact without your permission.
