Tacitus Mail
End-to-end encrypted by default

Private email that actually scales.

Tacitus Mail is a zero-knowledge email service built on OpenPGP. Your messages are encrypted in your browser before they ever reach our servers — and we built it to serve millions, not thousands.

Free to start. No credit card. Your keys, your data.

Built for privacy. Designed for scale.

Every mailbox is encrypted end-to-end using the OpenPGP standard. We can't read your mail — and we built the infrastructure to prove it.

OpenPGP end-to-end

Your PGP keypair is generated in your browser. The private key never leaves your device unencrypted, ever.

Zero-knowledge by design

We store ciphertext, not plaintext. Even a full database dump reveals nothing about your messages.

Native apps everywhere

First-class clients for iOS, macOS, and Windows — plus a fast web UI. Same keys, every device.

Search encrypted mail

Full-text search works even though your mail is encrypted, using blind indexes that reveal nothing to us.

How it works

Three steps to a mailbox we physically cannot read.

1

Register in 30 seconds

Pick your you@tacitusmail.com address. Your browser generates a PGP keypair on the spot.

2

Your key stays yours

Your private key is encrypted with your password using Argon2id, then stored. We never see it in the clear.

3

Send, receive, relax

Mail to another Tacitus user is encrypted automatically. For external recipients with a public key, we encrypt too.

What we can see. What we can't.

Transparency matters. Here's exactly what hits our database.

We cannot see
  • Message bodies
  • Attachments
  • Your private PGP key
  • What you search for
  • The plaintext of your drafts
Technical metadata we must store
  • Sender, recipient, subject line (required for delivery)
  • Timestamps
  • Your public PGP key (required for others to mail you)
  • Account email address

Read the technical whitepaper or review the open-source code.

Simple pricing. No surprises.

Half the price of the competition. Twice the storage where it counts.
