TradesMen Messenger

TradesMen Messenger — private communication built for the trades.

Private, mobile-first messaging for tradespeople, crews, and companies with realtime delivery and media sharing.

What TradesMen Messenger is

TradesMen Messenger is the private communication layer of the ecosystem. It is a mobile-first messaging platform with one-to-one chats, group conversations, media sharing, multi-device support, push notifications, and realtime WebSocket message delivery. It also includes call signaling for voice and video, and SuperAdmin oversight tools for company and platform operators. The backend is designed for ciphertext-only message storage and privacy-focused communication — a privacy-first foundation that can evolve into a fully end-to-end encrypted experience.

Messenger is designed for ciphertext-only message storage on the backend; end-to-end encryption should be considered a roadmap goal, not a current production-vetted guarantee.
