Join the beta waitlist: Germ DM is integrating with your Bluesky handle!

We’re Germ, the secure messaging app that puts your boundaries and your priorities first. No phone numbers, no tracking, no pressure.

We’ve been live in the iOS App Store with standardized, MLS-powered end-to-end encryption for a minute. Now, we’re bringing secure messaging to your ATProto handle—the username you use on Bluesky and across the Atmosphere in apps like Skylight, Smoke Signals, and more.

With this integration, we’re making it seamless to get where you’re trying to go (into a secure chat) the way you already know each other (as your handles).

Germ was always for the girls who don’t give their numbers out to someone they just met. Now, it’s also for the journalist who’s tired of having her phone number in her bio. The creator who wants to yap with his fans. The movement-builder getting overwhelmed in their DMs.

Our ATProto integration builds on what you already love about Germ:

• End-to-end encryption on Messaging Layer Security

• No phone number or email required

• Burner cards — temporary profiles for low-stakes convos

• Zero tracking, zero pressure

Join our beta waitlist to be the first to try end-to-end encrypted messaging with your Bluesky handle—coming sooner than you think.
