The Queso Network

Seriously private messaging for business

Beneath all the cheese, Queso has its own messaging network — built from the ground up for teams that can't afford to be casual about data. End-to-end encrypted, no phone numbers, no middleman, and optionally hosted entirely on your own hardware.

A Queso order form titled Weekly Cheese Order with fields for cheese, size, quantity and delivery date.
Structured messages

Send an order form, get a clean order back

Stop chasing orders across a dozen text messages. Send customers a proper form — choose the product, size, colour, quantity and delivery date — with a photo of what they're buying. Their response comes back structured and unambiguous.

  • Text, number, date and multiple-choice fields.
  • Attach a product photo to each form.
  • Ideal for wholesalers, makers, market stalls and B2B sales.

Get things done, in the chat

Approvals, checklists & events that actually work

Because we define the message types — not a third party — they're interactive and reliable on every device. Request a sign-off, run a shared checklist the whole team ticks off together, or schedule an event and collect RSVPs.

  • Approvals — request and track sign-offs.
  • Checklists — shared, live, ticked off by anyone.
  • Events — with Going / Maybe / Can't-make-it RSVPs.

Identity without exposure

@handles, not phone numbers

On the Queso Network, people connect with a username — not a personal mobile number. Staff, contractors and reps can message customers without handing out, or losing, a private number. Share your handle, a QR code or a link and you're connected.

  • No phone number or email required.
  • One memorable @handle per person.
  • Share a QR code or a getqueso.app/u/… link.
Built for teams that mean it

Corporate-grade, without the corporate baggage

Self-host your own relay

Run Queso's zero-knowledge relay on your own server — or fully on-premises — for complete data sovereignty. The relay only ever handles encrypted blobs it can't read, and deletes them on delivery. Perfect for legal, finance, healthcare, government and the EU.

Push-to-talk channels

Live, hands-free walkie-talkie channels for your team — from the warehouse floor to the delivery drivers — working straight from the lock screen, over the encrypted Queso Network.

Shared business cards

Swap a contact card with your company, role and links, shown read-only on the other side — so people always know who they're dealing with.

Nearby & offline

Message people right next to you directly over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, even with no internet at all — ideal for events, sites and dead-zones.

Direct transfer

Send any file, any size, directly and end-to-end encrypted — resumable, with live progress — brokered by the relay but never readable by it.

Push notifications

Optional, content-free push for the Queso Network, so you're notified without a single word of your message touching our servers.

Why it's different

WhatsApp is a consumer app with business bolted on.
Queso is the other way round.

Because Queso owns the protocol, we can build the things a consumer chat app structurally can't: structured data your systems can trust, identity that doesn't leak a phone number, and infrastructure you can actually run yourself. It's the professional inbox, encrypted end to end.
