Amnesia is an early research concept for disposable one-to-one messaging. Instead of attaching disappearing messages to permanent accounts, it explores temporary identities, one-time invitations, proof-bound session credentials, minimal relay knowledge, no intentional message archive, and an explicit “End and Forget” lifecycle. The first prototype would prove a narrow claim: two temporary clients can connect, exchange encrypted text, terminate the session, and fail to recover the previous application-controlled identity or conversation state. It cannot promise invisibility, defeat compromised devices, or guarantee perfect forensic erasure. The larger goal is open civil technology that leaves less identity, history, and social-graph data available to corporations, governments, abusers, or anyone who gains access later.
