Is Private.Ki a Messenger or Email?

Private.Ki is both a messenger and an email service – it seamlessly integrates the two. You don’t have to choose one or the other; the platform provides a full email inbox and real-time chat capabilities in one place. 

In practical terms, your Private.Ki account comes with an email address (yourusername@private.ki) for sending and receiving traditional emails, and it also has an in-app messenger for instant chat with other users. The messenger portion feels like using any modern chat app (you can send text, emojis, etc. in real time), while the email portion includes all the features you’d expect from webmail (like subject lines, CC/BCC, attachments, folders, search, etc.).

The reason Private.Ki merges these is to eliminate the need for separate tools for private communication. 

For example, you might use email for formal or long-form communication and a messenger for quick chats – Private.Ki lets you do both under the same account with the same level of encryption. Both the email and chat messages are end-to-end encrypted.

So, whether you’re writing a lengthy email to a colleague or having a quick encrypted chat with a friend, Private.Ki has you covered. You can think of it this way: Private.Ki is an all-in-one secure communications app. It’s as if you combined the privacy of a secure email service with the convenience of an encrypted messenger. In summary, it’s not “messenger or email” – it’s messenger and email together, with privacy features applied across the board.
