Hushwall

Off-Play · privacy by default

The cheapest data — even when you have none left.

Hushwall prices every megabyte in naira, blocks the trackers that drain your bundle, lets you buy data with no data, and keeps you chatting offline — end-to-end encrypted. No Play Store. No tracking. Your phone, your rules.

No Play Store — sideload the APK or get it on F-Droid. Free, no account, no ads.

Five things your phone should already do

Built for tight data, weak signal and real privacy — not for a dashboard in someone else’s data centre.

See your data in ₦

Every megabyte priced in naira against your real bundle. Know what a scroll, a stream or a download actually costs before you spend it.

On-device privacy firewall

A tracker and ad blocker that runs entirely on your phone — no VPN to a stranger’s server. Blocks the calls that quietly drain your data and your privacy.

Buy data without data

Out of data? Top up over plain USSD — airtime→data conversions and bank-transfer flows that work on a dead bundle. No connection required to recharge.

Offline end-to-end chat

Message people nearby over Bluetooth and Wi-Fi with no SIM, no data and no servers. End-to-end encrypted, peer to peer — it works when the network doesn’t.

Focus, framed honestly

Set limits on the apps that eat your day — shown in time, data and ₦ so the cost is real. Bounce out of infinite-scroll feeds before they pull you in.

Up and running in three steps

No sign-up, no Google account, no waiting on a server.

  1. 01

    Install off-Play

    Sideload the APK or add Hushwall from F-Droid. Verify the signing fingerprint, install, and grant the on-device permissions it asks for — nothing more.

  2. 02

    Set your bundle

    Tell Hushwall your network and current plan once. From then on every screen shows usage and cost in naira, and the firewall starts blocking trackers.

  3. 03

    Save, chat, stay private

    Buy data over USSD when you run dry, message people nearby with no signal, and keep your traffic on your phone. The cloud never sees your activity.

Privacy isn’t a setting. It’s the architecture.

Hushwall is built so that we can’t see your activity, not just so we promise not to. Processing happens on your device. The server holds no user traffic, no balances and no messages — there is nothing to leak, subpoena or sell.

It’s open-core with a verifiable build, and every actionable payload the app accepts is signed with ed25519 and checked against a public key shipped inside the app.

  • On-device processing

    Usage accounting, the firewall and chat all run locally. Your activity never travels to us.

  • End-to-end encrypted chat

    Nearby messages are encrypted device-to-device and stored encrypted at rest.

  • No-data pledge

    No PII collected. Analytics is opt-in, anonymous and numeric-only — never your IP or identity.

  • Open-core & verifiable

    Inspect the source, reproduce the build, and verify the signing fingerprint before you install.

After downloading, confirm the APK’s signing certificate matches this fingerprint (e.g. apksigner verify --print-certs) to prove it’s the genuine, untampered build.

Questions, answered

Is it on the Play Store?

No. Hushwall ships off-Play — you install it by sideloading the APK from this site or by adding it on F-Droid. Going off-Play is what lets us keep the privacy firewall and offline chat free of Play-policy restrictions, and it means no Google account is required.

Does it use my data?

Hushwall is built to save data, not spend it. The app works offline; it only reaches the network to fetch small, signed config updates and the tracker blocklist — and you can run it fully offline. It never streams your activity to us.

Is my chat private?

Yes. Nearby chat is end-to-end encrypted and travels directly between devices over Bluetooth and Wi-Fi — it never touches a Hushwall server. Messages are stored encrypted on your device. Note: nearby peers are not yet identity-verified, so treat a new contact as unverified until you confirm them in person.

Do you collect any personal data?

No PII, by design. Processing happens on your phone. Analytics is opt-in and anonymous — only numeric counters, never your identity, your messages, your balance or your IP. The server holds none of your traffic.

How do I know the app is genuine?

Hushwall is open-core with a verifiable build, and every actionable payload the app receives is cryptographically signed and checked against a public key bundled in the app. Match the signing fingerprint on the download page before you install.

Which networks does it support?

MTN, Airtel, Glo and 9mobile — the data bundles, balance checks and USSD shortcuts are tuned for all four Nigerian networks out of the box.
