An existing trusted device approves each new arrival.
Private conversations
Messages and files are end-to-end encrypted.
Everyday conversations
Content is readable by your server operator.
What about metadata and lost keys?
Encryption protects content, not all metadata. The server can still see information such as accounts, devices, contacts, message timing, and message sizes. Reports may include material you explicitly choose to share.
Your keys come with responsibility. A new device cannot read private history from before it joined. If all keys are lost, that private history cannot be recovered from the cloud.
A FEW GOOD QUESTIONS
Good to know.
Is every conversation end-to-end encrypted?
Private conversations are. Everyday (standard) conversations are server-readable. Milo keeps the two modes and their histories separate, and a private conversation never silently switches to standard mode.
Can I host Milo myself?
Yes. The repository includes the API, native client, administration interface, and Docker Compose configuration. You choose your infrastructure and connect the client to your server. Our self-hosting guide explains the setup and current release status.
Which devices does Milo support?
Milo targets Android, Windows, macOS, and iOS. Available Android and Windows packages are listed below. macOS distribution and iOS TestFlight require additional signing setup; there is no browser client.
Can a new device see my old private messages?
No. New devices must be approved and only gain access to private messages after they join that conversation. Milo does not provide cloud recovery of private history or encryption keys.
Does this website use analytics or tracking cookies?
No. This website does not include analytics scripts, advertising pixels, tracking cookies, or third-party fonts. Your hosting provider may still keep ordinary server access logs.
