Become a Pioneer | MindTheClub

I'm building MindTheClub, a messenger where your messages travel directly between devices, never through a server. No accounts, no phone numbers, no cloud storage. Just a direct, encrypted connection between you and the person you're talking to.

I built every part of this app myself, from the peer-to-peer protocol to the group messaging system. Now I need real people, on real devices, in real network conditions, to help me find what I can't find alone.

Open Testing is free

No subscription during the Beta. No ads — ever.

Open Testing is managed through Google Play. You may see a note that the app is in testing — that's expected. Your feedback during this phase directly shapes what MindTheClub becomes.

What you're joining

MindTheClub is live on Google Play as an Open Testing release. This means you can install and use it right now, but you're joining as a tester, not a customer. There is a limit for Open Testing to 1,000 testers, so every spot matters.

What to expect

This is a beta. The app works, messaging, calls, file sharing, group chats, but you will encounter rough edges. A message might take longer to deliver when a device wakes from deep sleep. A connection might need a second attempt on a restrictive network. The UI might not feel polished in every corner. That's exactly why I need you.

What I need from you

Use it with someone The app is peer-to-peer, you need at least one other person to test with. Add a friend, a partner, a family member. The more contacts you add, the more valuable your testing becomes.

Test what matters Send messages when the other person's phone is locked. Try group chats with 3 or more people. Make a video call on Wi-Fi, then on mobile data. Send a large file. Use it the way you'd use any messenger, and notice when something doesn't feel right.

Tell me what breaks If something goes wrong, please let me know using the Contact Form. The more detail you include, what you were doing, what you expected, what happened instead, the faster I can fix it.

Already testing?

If you've been using MindTheClub, I'd love to hear how it's going. This short form takes about 90 seconds and helps me prioritise what to fix and build next.
