Help make Hemlis, the messaging app the NSA can’t touch, for Windows Phone

Security and privacy are two things that nearly every one of you value in some shape or form. Recent news about the NSA potentially spying on your communications with the cooperation of internet giants can be quite disturbing. You may have nothing to hide, but the fundamental problem is some entity other than you have access to your data. Hemlis is a beautiful and secure messenger service from the same minds that brought you the Pirate Bay. They’re launching on Android and iOS, but you could help Windows Phone launch alongside them.

Hemlis (www.heml.is) is messaging service that is being launched by Peter Sunder, co-founder of the Pirate Bay, alongside Leif Högberg and Linus Olsson. The trio is working on Hemlis to provide a messaging service that guarantees to keep communication and data secure between users. This is in response to current companies like Facebook, Microsoft, Google, and Apple allegedly working with the NSA to provide access (for what it's worth, Microsoft has publicly denied that they are spying for the NSA).

Hemlis was in a funding period, but at the time of this article have procured over 152% of their goal. Here’s a video they released a few weeks back detailing their plans.

The company initially had plans to build for just Android and iOS, giving each platform 50% of the funding. But now that they’ve raised $50,000 over their target they are strongly looking at another operating system to develop Hemlis for. Could Windows Phone be the platform? That depends on you.

One of your fellow readers was backer in the project and emailed the team at Hemlis to see if a Windows Phone application would be on the table since funding exceeded expectations. The founders of Hemlis said they would consider Windows Phone if the demand was there for it. So guys and gals, is there a demand to see Hemlis on Windows Phone?

Right now the UI mockups are designed around iOS, but it does look good so far. It’s also fun to know that Hemlis means ‘secret’ in Swedish. Questions about Hemlis and how they plan on being so secure? Check out their FAQ.

Funding is over, so how can you let the Hemlis team know you’re interested? Comment here on this article, send them Tweets, reach out on Facebook, or email them. Do you want Hemlis on Windows Phone?

Thanks for the tip Jason M!

Our friend Vincent shared this cool link where a fan of Hemlis made a Windows Phone design to see what an app could look like. Check it out!

Sounds like it could become a big player in messaging apps with the right features. Also sounds like it could get taken down eventually. There will certainly be a core crowd who would not use WP without this, so let's do it.
Yes, definitely interested. And they have not been able to take down pirate bay yet, so they know what they are doing!
Piratebay will never die
ALL HEIL THE BLACK FLAG, THE BANNER REPRESENTING FREEDOM OF INFORMATION AND FREEDOM OF THE INTERNET! ARR, MY PIRATE FRIENDS /sarcasm
Can't be taken down as its linked to pirate party. The film just released was great.
YES this is a must have for those lovely private pictures
For when you're searching for a christmas present for a loved one.

Hit'em up on FB.
Hopefully it helps....
I'd get this app and recommend it to all my friends. And my wife :).
You wife isn't considered part of your friends and 'family'?
He never said friends and family. Just friends and wife.
He changed his comment...
Original post was "I'd get this app and recommend it to all my friends and family, and my wife :)"
Lmao, this is my first time back to this article since I first commented last night. I never said anything about my family. You probably subconsciously added it in your head. However, my wife is my family & my best friend :).
You've obviously never met his wife! *rim shot* Thanks for coming tonight. You've been a great audience. I'll be here all week. Don't forget to tip your waitress.
To the social medias!
So instead of NSA looking at it, the Icelandic government can :)
Lmao. U can't win. Why even try. But im def pro-Hemlis. Privacy is a give-in.
I couldn't care less if the government is "spying" on me!!
Idiot.
Maybe you have something to hide, I do not
May I ask what banks and credit cards you are with, your address, when you will be away next?
Yeah cos the government are known to rob houses and rob money! I'm from Ireland with a stable government, if you're on about them selling the info onto a 3rd party I'd hate to know what country you're from!!
Canada. I'm the type of person who would rather die on feet.
Note to self: stay away from Canada.... I wouldn't want to get rob by your government. I'm happy where I am where my country actually protects my ****
lol that makes you an idiot!
Me either. However, I'm not willing to give away my freedoms that have been promised to me and all Americans.
Well since you don't object to civil rights violations, perhaps I can "hire" you as my "mandatory volunteer"?
Excellent choice.
I feel as free as I did before the whole spying thing came out, they are only looking for very serious things not what's for dinner, anyway you get to vote in 3 years or sure just overthrow the government now lol
Sure.. they are only looking for terrorists... for now. Compiling communications for years from everyone could never be used in inappropriate ways... Sarcasm.
Oh I'm sure it could but an app that can be easily decrypted by them isn't going to stop it, maybe they are behind it so people will feel free to talk lol
A founding father once said... "anyone who would sacrifice any liberties for a little security deserve neither".
And if you or your family is not secure are you totally free?
You have no idea what they are looking for. Don't be so naive! Our government has done nothing to prove we can trust it. This isn't the '40s!
Well I wouldn't live in a country if I felt that way!
Thinking it is different than it is doesn't make it so Darren. Learn from history. We Americans are no different than those who came before us. Remove your rose colored glasses so you can see the true color of what is happening :)
I'll try! I didn't realize my first comment would cause such a stir, I've always liked America and all it stood for
We all have Darren. Back in the '60 there were bumper stickers for Conservatives that said "America. Love It or Leave It." and Liberals had one that said, "America. Change It or Lose It." I'm of the latter thinking. Churchill said, "Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it." He was right!
I remember the Churchill comment alright, but didn't know about the bumper stickers though, least I'm learning something new!
Hopefully we all are Darren. The biggest concern is not just that the government (NSA) will be monitoring the communications of everyone in the world, for which it has no right to do that with other countries, but in conjunction with the new laws, all the DHS has to do is consider anyone to be a terrorist or terrorist suspect and you immediately are. What if you are very passionate about ecology and say negative things about Big Agra and they leverage their sway with the Gov and have you considered an "Eco Terrorist" by saying or writing anything they don't agree with? See where this can go?
Maybe I have something to protect.
When someone says they have nothing to hide, what they're really saying is "I have nothing to hide, therefore I don't need rights". http://theartofprivacy.com/2011/02/02/why-ive-got-nothing-to-hide-is-suc...
And prove that they're wrong. "Freedoms are luxuries, not necessities." It's a truism. Everyone has already proved this to be true- living under the watch by the NSA and we aren't dead! Life would sure be uncomfortable, but liveable (maybe just bearable, read 1984). Besides, there are also many double standards when it comes down to social networking as well.
Don't need rights? Lets just rip up the bill of rights and constitution then.
He's not from the US so they don't apply :P
Lol
It is not about what you are not doing. Believe, privacy in life is probably important in so many ways. Imagine how would your life be if someone know everything that you do.
So give away all of your freedoms and rights because "you have nothing to hide". You've just said the single worst statement anyone can say on this topic. It's putting everyone on the slippery-slope to a police state. Surveillance cameras in every home? Sure, you've got nothing to hide. All phone conversations recorded? Sure, you've got nothing to hide. You shouldn't be so willing to sacrifice your privacy for a little security.
I know exactly what you mean,but there is not much you can do about it short of mass protests to get a new government in etc
If any government truly wanted to watch you, they would. Even if there are laws against it. By the way, the government did not just start listening in and observing people.
I have your back on this. I don't care who is looking at anything I post on the internet. Not the government, not my employer, ANYONE.... I stand by enverything I do, say, etc in my life. Thats what makes a good man! You stand behind your actions.
"That's what makes a good man! You stand behind your actions"....said Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot. Hussein.
It's not about whether or not you have something to hide. Think man think!
Look if there was another strike, you very people would be the ones saying the the technology was there and the government failed to use it. Think man think
You mean as happened prior to 9/11 & Patriot Act with all of the intel that came in and was ignored? You are taking this hook, line and sinker. This is the same reasoning they used prior to invading Iraq...."come in the form of a mushroom cloud"?....'member?
Ah yeah I do, it was a complete disaster! WMD's and all that bull **** , I actually only watched the film Green Zone the other night!
Can you show proof that they actually said that?
Obviously you are a Obama supporter and therefore a Progressive. Educate yourself; read George Orwell's "Animal Farm" and "1984." You, not the government, can cure your ignorance.
You do understand that the Patriot Act dates to a republican president and the programs in question were likewise started under the same fascist moron and friends. That is George Bush and his evil little troll of a puppet master (Dick Cheney). Democrats are not blameless, but acting as if this all started in the past few years is beyond laughable.
I was completely against the patriot act when it was created, because there is nothing patriotic about it. When the Bush administration created it, I was pleading with everyone to have him impeached and that everyone who voted it in be arrested for treason. I knew at the time when the patriot act was voted in that what we are seeing now with the NSA and the Obama administration was going to happen.
Then why are you blaming Progressives in particular?
The Conservatives started the Patriot act out of fear, ignorance and shear stupidity. The Progressives are using the Patriot act to help with their every evil Communistic ideal to try and take away all of our rights. They could have stopped the Patriot act, but no they had to use it as a staple for this Orwellian nightmare we are now living in. Remember Progressivism only leads to Socialism, Communism and even Nazism.
OK...to be ignorant is one thing, but to parade it is quite another.
+infinty
I too am from Ireland and I completely disagree with Darren (I dare say most Irish people would). The problem is not usually the current government but rather the gradual erosion of civil liberties slowly turning your country into a police state where people can be arrested for mere conversations held in private. It has happened many times in the past. Look at the Snowden saga in the US to see the process in action.
I just ment that personally I wouldn't be up in arms over it! Of course I believe in civil liberties do you think I'm crazy!lol , I'd say a good percentage of people have half their lives up on facebook etc anyway!!
How exactly does the Snowden case demonstrate that people have been arrested for mere conversations in private? BTW, civil liberties are still protected to a far greater degree in the US than any country on the other side of the Atlantic.
We should compare ourselves to ourselves as a measure and not of others. "Well at least we're not ....." really lowers the bar.
Are you fucking kidding me, this is not only about you. They are not only watching Americans, they watch all of us. Do you think it's "ey ok" because it's an American organisation? What if it was North Korea, would you say the same thing? Why do you trust American organisations (the biggest war mongerer in the world)?
I too support Hemlis and privacy, bitche$$!!!!
I strongly support this notion, if they'd open up a new funding site I'd also be willing to contribute towards funding the process
Definitely!
The government will find some way to get into their data. Kind of absurd not to think so.
It's called RSA encryption... at the moment it is unbreakable as it requires factoring very very large numbers, a task that is beyond even the most powerful supercomputers even given years of computer time. The whole of internet credit card security is based on it. Government communication is also based on it. Well it may not actually be RSA encryption but all modern encryption is based on factoring large numbers. RSA encryption would be a good place to start if you want to read up on why it is unbreakable with todays (and the foreseeable futures) technology / computers.
Encryption is required, of course, but there is more to security and vulnerabilities than that. Social engineering is another way anyone can get hacked. It will be interesting to see how long it takes for this service to be compromised.
Yes, encryption is great, but there are a number of potential vulnerabilities to the system proposed by Heml.is. That is not to say that it won't represent an improvement in privacy for the average user, but in situations where it is important (e.g., activists in countries that are "governed" by oppressive regimes where loss of life is a very real outcome), this poses a problem. It can give people who really NEED complete privacy a false sense that there is no way for their government to obtain information about their communications.
Done! Go like the comment I made on their facebook page!!

Definitely. If they come to WP, I'd make my friends and family use it.
And wife? (referring to first couple of posts in humour)

Want
Bring it to Windows Phone!
+1
Yes, definitely interested. Whether I plan to use the app and whether the government cab actually hack into Hemlis us irrelevant. I am here to back the idea 100%.
I was and still am hoping this comes to WP. I was disappointed when I first heard about this app only coming to IOS and Android.
Yes! FInally! My wife can text me thr grocerylist in private! Screw you NSA! You will never know what we're having for dinner tonight!
Exactly! Your man up there left a comment calling me an idiot cos it doesn't bother me, he's obviously up to no good!!
For me it's about human rights and freedoms. I know that is a wacky concept but it's how I am.
Calling you an idiot doesn't help anybody. But can you not see why such a gross invasion of your privacy is problematic? I don't have anything to hide, but I don't want my neighbors snooping in my underwear drawer.
Maybe being Irish I'm a bit more sanguine about the whole thing but I would imagine that they are only looking out for very serious things, not what I had for brekkie lol
Ask any American black person how much they trust the local police and US government. I knew a black guy that wouldn't even open a bank account because he didn't trust ANY of the US establishment. You take a lot for granted.
lol :D
Give us secret squirrel stuff!!!
That's a pretty nice looking app, I hope it would be redesigned if it came to Windows Phone, that would look amazing.
This could possibly end up being another popular messaging service!
YES
LOL, encrypting data to protect it from NSA. Talk about an excercise in futility.
You must not know a lot of encryption. The NSA does have limits too.
You're assuming they're just going to brute force each key. I'd say that's a bad assumption.
Look up and read about public key cryptography and then come back to us... There are such things as unbreakable encryption.
I agree, but they could spy on the developers to get the prime factors lol !!
+€£¥
Yes, there are unbreakable encryptions (predefined one time keys). The public/private key system however is not unbreakable by any means. It just takes a long time.
There are also such things as back doors and viruses. The only way to truly protect data from the NSA is to have it off the grid.
Develop for WP!
Yes, of course. We want it!
This is a must have, plz give us hemlis!
Very interested
Want/need.
Whether or not you have anything to hide, is beside the point. It is a matter of fundamental principle... That we have the right to a reasonable expectation of privacy, in our personal communications. This is something we definitely need for Windows Phone!
I agree.
Most people DON'T have anything to hide, at least not anything that the gov't would care about. The point is freedom.
Unfortunately, I don't think we need products to encrypt our communications (these agencies can skirt those encryptions) as much as we need a change in the way the agencies operate and that won't come until the public reaches a boiling point & demands the gov't stops spying on its own people without probable cause.
My deed is done, I would really love to see Hemlis on WP. With live tile and lock screen support, but if not I'll just be glad to have it on my 925. Here's to Windows Phone❕
I'm tired of Whatsapp. I say BRING ON Hemlis❕❗❕❗❕❗❕
I did emailed Hemlis team earlier asking about Windows Phone app. They requested us to wait till iOS & Android app are ready. CONGRATS. So, Please develop a Windows Phone 8 app too.. Windows Phone users are enthusiastic bunch of mobile users. You won't regret developing for WP platform in the first tier.
Hook it up, Hemlis! Free beer!
Definitely would like this!
All you had to say was "Pirate Bay founders" and I knew I was out. Who would trust notorious criminals with a proven complete disregard for property/data rights with their own personal/private data? This whole notion is beyond ironic -- it's absurd!
Notorious criminals...right, uh you've, uh, got some red stains around your lips from sucking off the MPAA's tit of Kool-Aid, oh don't forget to wipe away the FUD, too.
LOLZ, his comment made me laugh, then yours did too... Notorious criminal's? That's a stretch. One thing to note!!! They never gave up user data from their site!!! So I'm sure you can trust them, kinda like "honor amongst thieves" thing.
Yeah, they were convicted in Sweden and then lost the appeal. That makes them criminals by definition. Now, you obviously see nothing wrong with what they do, but it is a fact that they are criminals.
That was my first thought, too. My second thought was how sad that we are considering allying ourselves with thieves in order to escape our spying governments. The world has gone mad.
They're planning on open sourcing the platform, so 3rd party apps are likely as well.
The FAQ section says no to both of those. They're going to open source it enough that people can check the work and make sure it's secure. In addition they'll invite 3rd parties to look at and audit them. They don't plan on making any APIs for third party apps because that would create a potential security compromise.
I would definitely use this so long friends and family do so as well
Im for it.
Let's go stormtroopers.
Those renders look almost Metro ready. I'm in.
Would be nice to see on WP
Would love to have this on Windows Phone so lets do all we can to make this possible
Even if one were to fundamentally disagree that they could not in any way be affected by alleged government actions that may potentially compromise their personal privacy, any supporter of Windows Phone should be sending messages out to developers of any application that may potentially grow the Windows Phone ecosystem, even if they feel their words don't count? Why? Well, if there are ten proactive people who contact developers about developing for Windows Phone who truly want the app, the developers are simply going to shrug it off and say it's not worth their time. If we get 500 or 1000 people to bombard a developer with requests for Windows Phone development, they will think twice about shrugging off the interest, particularly if it is a paid application where they could make money. Again, why should anyone care about contacting a developer and letting them know that there are people who are interested in the app if they themselves don't care about the app? Simple. Get more developers on Windows Phone, more developers will stick to Windows Phone, the ecosystem will grow, developers will get paid, the people who truly want the application will get their application, and other developers will then take a second look at Windows Phone, e.g. Google. If we ever want to see serious support from more developers, we as a community must step up to the plate and be proactive about letting developers know there is a huge, growing community that needs their support (and is willing to pay for that where applicable). I do my part. Will you?
Stared a post on Facebook page, lets make our voice heard!
Thank you. This is the kind of campaigning that will get things happening.
I support this!
Excellent! I'll have my backers in the Organized Crime Syndicate give them a call... @_@
Yes please.
Should be great to see a new secret messaging app like this!!! C'MON guys!!!!
Yes, i am interested.
Just started a thread on Facebook. All we need to do now is beg :-) Beg like we mean it.
All hale hemlis
Yes please. It would be fundamental that all the major OSes have it. That way everyone can message everyone on it (unlike BBM and imessage)
It would be a wp8-app so i guess Microsoft will help the NSA invading my privacy. I doubt it will be a safe messenger.
Try carrier pigeons.
Very funny. The NSA supports your comment.
More likely to support your comment.
Develop for WP, but don't spy on us! +1020
WebOS version, please!
Nooooo. Get your butt over to WebOS Nation!
As a fourth.
Just joking! I do miss my Pre, though! ;) MS should borrow some of the better ideas from that wonderful OS.
So glad to hear I'm not the only one who misses it! I like my 920 and WP 8, but I still really miss my Pixi+.
Ja för fan.
I'd buy that for a dollar!
"not at launch. Later we want it of course." says Helmis.

I would defiantly be interested in a Windows Phone version
Need this on WP.
I would buy this
SURE AS HELL WE'RE GETTIN' THIS APP! DET ÄR VÄL KLART SOM FAN ATT VI SKA HA DEN HÄR APPEN!
Jupp
YES!! please get this done
Interested in something that has group chat. Also, they should fix the typos on their WordPress blog.
Yeah would love to see this come to WP absolutely!
So it's basically a messaging service for terrorists who want to plan assaults without letting the NSA know.
Shhhh! That's supposed to be a secret.
The terrorist campaign is fucking propaganda to wage wars, so get your head out of your ass.
I take great pleasure knowing that our National Security Administration is trolling through my non existent social life :)
i'm definitely interested!
I'm definitely interested in a Windows Phone version! Privacy is getting too rare these days.
Yes please, I posted on all options available to tell them to support wp8
YES
Bring Hemlis to Windows Phone 8 please!
Yes
Yes definately we need this.
Would like to see this one on Windows Phone. Developers please make it happen.
Liquid Daffodil has apparently just offered to develop the apps for both Windows Phone and Windows 8 for free...if Hemlis folks are interested.
aww yeah! those guys are awesome. ...are you interested in helping as well? no offence, but I've always felt they could use a little help in the ui department..
Bring it to the windows phone please! Would be a great addition
Time to add a comment.
Hopefully the reaction will be big enough.

Also, when will these guys finally start their drone-mounted servers?
Lets go
Commrnt
Don't care about others potentially seeing my data. I just feel sorry that some poor sap will see my dick pics.
LOL and +1
Are you Anthony Weiner, trolling this forum?
The question are, will Microsoft allow this service in Windows Store? what kind of pressure will US government make on Google, Apple and Microsoft to ban this app? Why do you think this kind of service is not available natively in all OSs? Get ready to sign petitions, I am sure we will need it in the future.
TWWEEET TO THEMM
TWEET AT @hemlismessenger
yesss please!!
+1
Does the app also encrypt the To: and From: information? I love the idea of keep private info private.
Bring it to Windows Phone please.
wp8 app would bevery nice
I am hoping for this as well.
I would use this on WP.
Sounds like a cool idea...
Bring it to Windows Phone, please!
A must have
Yes to any Good App for WP8... Would always be happy to have to Helmis on WP8.

Thanks for the proposal for offering a WP8 app HELMIS team !
Not do be a dick, but... *Hemlis
We need this. Don't leave us out of it
Definitely want this in the Windows/WP8 ecosystem. People who support what Microsoft (and Nokia) have to offer are tired of being left out when some of the most popular apps are not officially made for our devices.
Really hoping this gets developed for WP as well.
Yes, absolutely!
I thought it was something from Microsoft on the lines of BBM, until I read Pirate Bay. Nevertheless, I definitely want such a messenger. So, +1 from me.
Haha! Hemlis is slang for "a Secret" in Norwegian and Swedish. :)
This looks interesting and could be a good direction to show the governments that we do want our own privacy. I think the EFF will endorse this direction.
Yes I do want also Helmis for windows phone. Thanks in advance :D
Damn happy to live in Russia after reading all the comments. We got lots of hard to stupid laws but always are given a choice to step a little aside if one is able think out a good own way that has good consequences and leads to good aim.
To the topic: I don't need the app, I don't believe in anything other than encrypted P2P as a completely private solution. When privacy concerns me I use jabber p2p, otherwise I let an American NSA and bot and any other see my girls' boos, I don't care, watch and study, I use whatsapp and built in fb messaging
Can I see your girls boos?
Geez, you perv. (move over a bit you're blocking my view)
This is, by far, is the best company I have heard of in my life. I would like to support it any way possible. If they would allow me, I would like to work for them. Hemlis is doing what very few companies, if any, in the last 237 years have done; they are fighting for essential freedom. All other companies should be ashamed of themselves for not doing the same. I hope that this app is put on Windows phone.
I am for it. Personally, I have nothing to hide...right now. A police state always secures it's powers before it implements your limitations. Who knows what they may decide they don't like one day. Political speech against the party in power maybe... It isn't about what the government you like might do. It is about what a government you don't like might do, one day.
I support :)
Wow wpcentral is actively aiding terrorists now. Disgusting.
The NSA is a true terrorist organization and everyone involved should be sent to prison for their illegal acts against the citizens of the U.S.
Then sure, support this app and wpcentral but don't complain when another 911 happens or worse. Hide your sex chats from the NSA and allow thousands, or hundreds of thousands, to die (maybe including someone you know, or you even).
@5k /brainwashedamerican
Yeah, you're right my family as well as myself could be killed by a terrorist act. But at least we will have the freedoms that our forefathers fought so ardently for. Everyone, including you, needs to come to the true realization that no matter how many rights our government tramples on in the name of safety and security, it is guaranteed that there will be another terrorist attack on American soil. This is the true price of freedom.
Sounds good to me. Fu NSA
Yes please :)
YES YES YES
Yes Please! Would love this app.
Yes. Anything somewhat more secure would be welcome.
yes
No doubt its coming to WP.
Any Windows Phone app that launches alongside it's Android/iOS counterparts is a good thing. Yes, no doubt there's demand for it here on WP. I hope to see it on here in the future. Gonna back this when I get home.
Will it be free? Count me in.
Count me in even if it's not free.
This is maybe the only instance in which I WOULD pay for a non-gaming app. The opportunity to maintain privacy and stay connected is a great idea.
Yes pls!
Ditto, please make a Windows Phone app !
Come on we will get it
We need this app!!!
Where can I contribute to this app coming to Windows Phone? We need this at all costs!
YES!!! To a Windows 8 version
Sure!!!
lol, encryption means nothing to the NSA. The NSA can brute force decrypt anything. It's nothing for them. Ignorance is bliss, I guess. What a person writes in a message or e-mail is of little importance when it compares to tracking your location 24/7. That is what needs to be kept private first and foremost. If those affiliated with law enforcement can find you, they can get forced confessions and hold you against your will as well as torture you. All encrypted messaging does is red flag you and make you a larger target to the NSA and shadow governments.
Well I for one don't give a damn if it red flags me.
Gimme Hemlis!!!
Yes, please bring it. I have nothing to hide from the NSA but I support all who prefer their privacy and I am an avid supporter of the Windows Phone platform.
Would love to see this app on Windows Phone. Hopefully they will choose to make it. After all its a logical 3rd choice since WP is the 3rd largest ecosystem and growing at a fast pace.
If its by the makers of the pirate bay, I am so in.
Definitely interested!
Would be pretty cool! And very useful to some others!
Yes. I want hemlis.
Would love that.
If theyre gonna make one for wp the i hope they make a wp8 version only >:)
The screenshots look like it was designed for wp8
Yes please, windows app would be greatly appreciated.
I'd like Hemlis on WP also.
Hemlis, sure why not?!
Definitely interested.
Why does anyone care that the gov't watches what you do? They tap landlines and pay phones too
I can't remember the last time I used a pay phone or landline...
I'd get this app, even pay if I had to.
Heck yeah I want it.
Please make this app available for WP. Thanks!
Please make this app available for WindowsPhone. :)
Was this done on Kickstarter? I for one would donate to it being on WP7 or 8.
Wow, would love to have it on my Lumia 920.
Damn, didn't know about this kickstarter project.
We need this app on windows phone. Seriously, I'd use it all the time
It would be nice to have a secure app in the windows phone for messaging
Tweeted! Full support.
Any application that allows users to reclaim privacy they shouldn't have to fight for in the fist place is a great idea.
My vote is in for WP8
Absolutely it is something I would be interested to use please.
Oh please support all wp platforms
Give me! :)
If it is based on PGP, even I can crack it...
As a Swede, you've just gotta love that name! Very cute. (the real word for secret is hemlighet, hemlis is like a short, "childish" slang version of it)
Haha, yup

I'm a swede myself and I knew that this was a swedish app just by looking at the header of this post.
Please release this for as many platforms as possible. I would hate to leave anyone out simply because of the platform they use. And of course I'm all for it!
➕920! I want all my friends to use it. Already told some of my IOS, Android friends. Can't wait!
Why not. Lets do this.
use this hasgtag on twitter to support #HemlisforWP
This could be the next BBM if you know what i mean ;)
I talk to them a while back abou this(when found was 3000), and they said they will work on it later, now that they have enough found, maybe they can release it @ the same time with other apps
Want it
Why isn't there enough ranting about "no wp7.8 love?"
I will support if there's a commitment to WP7.8. Otherwise, its yet another snub. Thats kinda usual nowadays anyway...
I would love to see this app come fruition! And if a few dollars has to be paid to make my data private, I would more than happy to oblige!
Too bad I deleted my Facebook for privacy reasons... They should have setup their support page as Tor hidden service ;-)
Before Edward Snowden appeared on the scene I would have passed this one by, but after his information and then watching politician after politician tell us that they need to spend billions snooping on everything to protect us from terrorists (yet we are more likely to win the lottery then be a victim of a terrorist... although we are a victim of government like this everyday!).
So hell yes, I would definitely be happy to pay for this even, if they provide secure encrypted communications then I would be using that as my prefered communication service.
Yes! The demand is here! Sounds like a great idea and finally an app that COULD land in all three app stores at the same time for once
Let's do it!!
+1 to support xD
This app looks very promising, and I don't want WP to miss out on it! Make it happen!
Isnt it time WP support is obvious instead of people lining up to vote for the support?
Need......Require Hemlis on Windows Phone!, Purty please.....
Yes please, windows app would be nice.
Anyone who thinks there's anything wrong with this, you've been brainwashed, please go get a clue. Its not you vs. your gov't, its just convenient for you to think that way, so you've given up critical thought, I get it. But maybe put some thought into why you defend a "right" to bear arms but not a right to privacy. Should be the same argument, no? Right to form militias and all that? Only privacy isn't profit motivated, it isn't something invented by manufacturers. Privacy really is a basic right, and the "right to be left alone" is where it needs to start. That's a concept the US used to champion, long before modern politics.
This would be great!
Definitely want this!
Please do this for W8. Build it and they will come. Using this app wouldn't be just about " having something to hide", but will serve as testament to how many people are opposed to being spied upon.
This will be a much needed app.
I'd love this!
It would be really pimp if they could release WP8 and Win8 apps at the same time. I'd be all over it, and word would spread like crazy.
Yes please.
LoL their facebook is full of wp users asking for the port! Thats why i love this community.
I don't want to pick on words but just for the record: The word secret is "hemlighet" in Swedish. "Hemlis" is slang, more commonly used among kids.....and of course more brandable. ;-)
YES PLEASE!
I do indeed and I really hope it never comes to that
Kind of sick of developers always sticking to two platforms, iOS and Android. I see no reason to not make an app for Windows Phone.
Hopefully the money will be well spent just like the money that goes for the VLC for Win8/WP project... :P
Let get serious!!you are my idols dont let us Down, you have millions of fans in wp platform! We would pay top dollar to,get this awesome app!!like 0.99£!! (just kidding) :) but please do it!!
