Updates
Updates are never forced. The choice is always yours. No punishments or restrictions will ever be placed on users who choose not to update.

Control
Version Control
After Version 1.1, users will be able to revert to old versions (even if not recommended).
Zero Dependencies
Devs retain no power over users as all processes work locally after download. This is the strongest protection for Falcon users.
No Secrets
Users have unrestricted access to absolutely everything that they interact with. All code can be inspected and checked to ensure your privacy and safety.
Privacy
Total Disconnection
Falcon users are completely disconnected from the devs. No message, connection, setting or action is ever shown to us. That is why you can trust us, even though you don't have to.
No Filtration
The majority of platforms have strict rules on what can and cannot be discussed.
A certain alignment, set of beliefs and way of articulating yourself is always required. They oftentimes may even have many threats behind enforcement.
Falcon is one of the very few escapes out there that allows you to confidentially speak your mind without any fear of punishment for honesty.
The Privacy Mission
Falcon was built primarily because of the lack of privacy on other platforms. I (the developer) actually built it for myself. It was only later into development that I made the decision to make it public.
Security
Centralisation vs Decentralisation
Centralisation
- Just one minor attack compromises millions
- Exposure draws more attention from hackers
- Larger corporations are likely to be targetted by deadlier hackers
Decentralisation
- Even a critical security breach can only affect a couple of people
- Obscurity leaves attackers without targets
- Deadly hackers have no reason to go after regular people
Falcon's Design
Decentralised - fewer attacks
Lightweight - fewer attack surfaces
Military Grade Security Measures - bulletproof
Performance
Decentralised Load
While most messengers use centralised servers that are responsible for absolutely everyones messages, Falcon cuts this out in favour of direct connections between users. This means that every single piece of processing power across our userbase is being used to its full potential, instead of relying on underfunded infrastructure in the center.
Falcon's Strategy
To optimise its performance, Falcon uses lightweight design for its UI features, cuts down on unnecessary internet requests and spreads out its various functions to ensure that devices never use computing power on unused processes.
