Start the conversation, faster.

Germ DM is end-to-end encrypted with Messaging Layer Security and is never connected to your phone number. Our integration with ATProto (Bluesky) is now in beta!
Germ DM x ATProto beta version 3806 just shipped.

Check out our new fixes, including OAuth improvements thanks to the great work of @thisismissem.social.

Look out for a better login experience. If you were locked out before, try again! 🏁

This holiday season, give the gift of gossip. Best served end-to-end encrypted.

Love, Germ 💝

Happy Halloween!

Whether you're a ghoul, goblin, vampire, or K-Pop Demon Hunter, Germ DM keeps you reachable, never exposed.

Want to thank us? We accept candy 🎃 👻 🍭

Germie has her Halloween card ready. Do you?

With multiple cards, no phone numbers, and E2EE everywhere, Germ DM keeps you reachable, never exposed.

Re: the first screen, the visual glitch is a bug, but your bio character limit is a feature. We're working on solutions to get that link out of your bio, but assume it's stuck there for awhile and needs space to work 😅

On the next screen, just keep typing! We support your custom handle and PDS.

Off the waitlist and into the beta?

Our App Clip brings supernatural power to all who click a Germ link: an end-to-end encrypted chat without the App Store!
October 29, 2025 at 4:21 PM
Our bad! 🫣😅

Thank you for finding our bugs so fast! We just shipped 2.3.1 🔎 🐛🪲
October 27, 2025 at 1:28 PM
We support your growth. 🌱💚

Did we miss something? Keep your and your friends' cards current with a simple refresh.

Yes, we support your custom handle and PDS!

Just keep typing.

Left Germ DM on the back burner?

Germ 2.3.0 lets you pick up where you dropped off.

No do-overs, just a better re-entry 🔑🚪
October 22, 2025 at 1:35 PM
No Germ app? No problem.

Tap a friend’s #GermInBio and Germ opens instantly.

No trip to the App Store. Just E2EE conversations from your Bluesky handle.

Thank App Clip for the magic 😎🌱
October 21, 2025 at 1:45 PM
Germ DM 2.3.0 is live! 😎📲

We’ve also shipped a new build to our beta users and brought more of you off the waitlist🌻📬

For Germ users in our ATProto beta, your friends will now have a much easier time chatting with you—even if they’re not off the waitlist yet 👀▶️

Germ's SF Summer picnic last week was a blast!

But post pictures of our guests on main? Couldn't be us.
