SprinTelex

For developers

The engineering under the chat.

SprinTelex is built by a small team in Accra that cares about the last millisecond. Here's what's under the hood — and how to build with us.

End-to-end encryption

The Signal protocol with per-device fan-out — every message is encrypted separately for each of a recipient's devices. Servers relay ciphertext they cannot read; media rides AES-256 with per-blob keys carried inside the encrypted payload.

A native chat engine

React Native on the New Architecture for product velocity, with the hot paths — the thread list and chats tab — rebuilt as hand-tuned UIKit, mined 1:1 from how the best messengers actually ship: additive spring motion, drawn bubbles, Metal particle effects.

Real money rails

Payments settle through licensed mobile-money processors across MTN MoMo, Telecel Cash and AT Money — direct pass-through for 1-to-1, escrowed shares for group splits, idempotent webhooks reconciling every step.

Built for real networks

Offline send queues, chunked resumable media, low-data defaults, and a client that opens instantly from persisted state — engineered for the connections our users actually have.

Build with SprinTelex

We're opening early access to payment and messaging integrations for businesses in Ghana — collections, disbursements and receipts that live inside the chat your customers already use. If that's you, we want to hear what you'd build.
