Why Queso?

Every day, billions of conversations never happen — or happen badly — because two people don't share a language. A supplier in Osaka and a buyer in Lisbon. A grandmother and her grandchild growing up abroad. A market trader and a tourist who'd love to buy, if only they could ask.

We built Queso so that the language simply stops mattering. You write the way you always have. The person on the other end reads it in theirs. Their reply comes back in yours. No copy-pasting into a translation site, no clunky third app — it just happens, inside the chat, as you talk.

One board for all your cheese

The second idea is just as simple: your conversations are scattered across too many apps. So Queso brings WhatsApp and Telegram together into one tidy inbox — and adds its own private network for the chats that matter most. One place, every network, every language.

Serious about privacy (even if we're not serious about much else)

We made a decision early on: we never want to be able to read your messages. So Queso's free translation runs entirely on your device, our AI gateway is built to know nothing about who you are, and the Queso Network is end-to-end encrypted. No ads. No tracking. Nothing to sell, because we don't collect it in the first place. You can read exactly how it works on our security page.

And then there's the business bit

What started as "translate my chats" grew into something bigger. The Queso Network lets businesses take orders with real forms, run approvals and checklists, and reach people without handing out a phone number — all end-to-end encrypted, and all hostable on your own server if you need it. There's finally a mature messaging app in town. (Sorry. We'll stop. Probably not.)

Say hello

Queso is made by a small, independent team who care a lot about getting the details right. We'd genuinely love to hear from you — ideas, feedback, or just to say hi. Email [email protected].
