How It Works

Get started in minutes. Your privacy is built in from day one.

Create Your Account

Sign up and get your encrypted identity at username@woolny.me. Your encryption keys are generated client-side and never leave your device. Through SRP (Secure Remote Password) technology, we don't even store password hashes—your password never reaches our servers.

Send & Receive Encrypted Emails

All emails are encrypted with GPG. You control your keys. We can't decrypt your messages even if we wanted to. Your data stays yours. We're working on automatically fetching public keys from Proton Mail and other secure email providers for true end-to-end encryption.

Stay Private

No tracking, no profiling, no data collection. Your privacy is the default, not an option. We don't know who you're emailing or what you're saying. Optional anonymized analytics are available but never enabled by default.

Zero-Knowledge Architecture

Security by Design

Multiple layers of encryption ensure your data stays private—even from us

SRP Authentication

Secure Remote Password (RFC 5054) proves you know your password without sending it. Your password never leaves your device—we store only a cryptographic verifier that's impossible to reverse.

Uses 2048-bit groups and SHA-256. Protects against database breaches, MITM, and replay attacks.

GPG Encryption

4096-bit RSA keys with GNU Privacy Guard encrypt all emails end-to-end. Public keys are shared; private keys stay encrypted on your device.

Industry-standard OpenPGP encryption. Compatible with other PGP clients like Proton Mail and GnuPG.

Password-Derived Keys

Your GPG private keys are encrypted using a key derived from your password via PBKDF2. We can't decrypt your keys even if we wanted to.

Keys generated client-side. Your password is the only way to decrypt your encryption keys. Lost password = no recovery (by design).

How It All Works Together

1

Sign Up

Create an account using SRP. Your password generates a verifier on your device—only the verifier reaches our servers. GPG keys are generated and encrypted with your password.

2

Log In

Authenticate via SRP handshake—no password transmission. Your encrypted keys are downloaded and decrypted locally using your password-derived key.

3

Send Email

Emails are encrypted with GPG before leaving your device. Only recipients with your public key can decrypt. We can't read your messages even if we wanted to.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Woolny

Can you read my emails?

No. All emails are encrypted with GPG. Your encryption keys are stored encrypted with your password. Even if someone gains access to the encrypted keys, they would still need your password to decrypt them. We don't have access to your private keys, so we can't decrypt your messages.

What if I lose my password?

Your password encrypts your keys. If you lose it, we can't recover your account. This is by design—it means we can't access your data even under legal pressure. Make sure to store your password securely.

Can I use my own domain?

Yes. You can add custom domains in your settings. All emails sent to your custom domain are encrypted the same way. Set up MX, SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records to get started.

Is this really free?

Yes! Free up to 10GB of email storage. No credit card required. No trial periods. We also offer paid subscriptions for additional storage or premium features. We're funded by donations and optional subscriptions—not by selling your data.
