Encrypted comms for startups.

Fuze Base is a terminal chat app for small teams that need private conversations, encrypted invites, and public identity proofs.

Messages are encrypted on your laptop before they sync. Channel keys stay with the people in the channel. The server moves ciphertext.

Encryption model

Messages are encrypted locally before sync.
Channel keys are delivered through encrypted key boxes.
Every message is signed by a persistent device key.
Private signing keys and decrypt keys stay on your machine.
The hosted API stores ciphertext, not message plaintext.

Server trust

server sees	usernames, public proofs, channel membership, timestamps, encrypted payloads
server does not need	message text, channel secrets, invite plaintext, private device keys
client owns	identity keys, decrypt keys, local history, trust decisions

Why

Startups talk about sensitive things before they have security process: money, customers, credentials, strategy, hiring, incidents. The default should be encrypted.

Fuze Base is intentionally small. Install it, prove your identity, create a channel, invite a teammate, and chat.
