> Nine screens from the real app, one after another. There is no voice-over; what each scene shows is written out below, with a link that starts the video there.

Every frame is a screenshot of the running app. Nothing is drawn.

## What each scene shows

- [0:00 Naven on a laptop.](#t=0) The conversation list beside an open conversation, in a browser tab. Nothing to install.
- [0:02 Your conversations.](#t=2.8) The same account on a phone: conversations, groups and filters for who is online.
- [0:05 A conversation.](#t=5.6) Messages with reactions and read receipts. The line under the composer says content screening is on.
- [0:08 A message that was not sent.](#t=8.4) Naven explains why: it gave away where somebody lives. The writer is told which rule it met.
- [0:11 A group chat.](#t=11.2) A group with a member typing. Groups are made from a link, with no phone numbers.
- [0:14 A poll.](#t=14) Which night suits everyone, answered inside the conversation.
- [0:16 An event.](#t=16.8) A time and a place, with Going, Maybe and Can’t, and a reminder.
- [0:19 Channels.](#t=19.6) Public and invite-only channels, and AI news channels that link every source.
- [0:22 Naven AI.](#t=22.4) A private assistant with suggested questions. Photos are screened before it reads them.

## What the tour does not show

Calls, the Forum, themes and the parent controls are not in it. Calls are not screened at all, and Naven is not end-to-end encrypted: the server reads each message so that it can screen it before it is delivered. The screen is automated and misses things.

## Naven, in brief

- **Price:** Free. No ads, no paid tier
- **Phone number:** Never asked for
- **To install:** Nothing. It runs in a browser
- **End-to-end encrypted:** No. Messages are screened before they send
- **Works on:** Phones, tablets, laptops, Chromebooks

### What it will not do

- Screen calls. Only messages are screened
- Catch everything. The screen misses things, and is weaker outside English
- Promise security. Naven promises none; the terms say so plainly

**Naven is a free messenger that runs in your browser.** No phone number, nothing to install, and no new password.
