The team behind Keet, the peer-to-peer chat app that knows nothing about you, is heading to Plan B Forum in Lugano with a simple message: the P2P future isn’t coming, it’s already working.
CEO Mathias Buus, CTO Andrew Osherhoff, and Principal Architect David Mark Clements will showcase how Keet delivers end-to-end communication without servers, surveillance, or compromises, powered entirely by Pear, the open-source P2P stack built for unstoppable apps.
From zero-infrastructure demos to real-time sync at scale, this will be a first-hand look at the future of communication: fast, sovereign, and in your control.
What’s New at Plan B: Apps & Features Powered by Pear
Come get hands-on with the latest from the Holepunch team — including powerful new tools built on Pear, our open-source P2P developer stack:
Keet: The world’s most private messenger, now with Broadcast calls, where anyone can speak to unlimited users via end-to-end encrypted P2P connections. We’re also previewing upcoming features like live translation, all processed locally, not in the cloud.
What the Holepunch team will be covering
Blood, Sweat & Peers
Speaker: Mathias Buus, CEO
Mathias Buus shares his journey from early P2P experimentation to building the tools that power a global movement.
Expect war stories from the frontlines of decentralized tech, sharp insights into why peer-to-peer is the only path forward, and the vision driving Keet and Pear into the future.
He’ll also unveil new Keet features, from broadcast calls to live peer-to-peer translation, showing how this app is evolving into a platform for unstoppable communication.
At a time of growing censorship, surveillance laws, and authoritarian overreach, Keet isn’t just a product; it’s a necessity. And the P2P revolution is no longer an idea. It’s already here.
Keet: Anatomy of the App That Knows Nothing
Speaker: Andrew Osherhoff, CTO
A technical deep dive into how Keet works under the hood. Andrew breaks down how Pear Runtime enables Keet to operate entirely without servers, ensuring that the app sees nothing, stores nothing, and shares nothing with anyone but your peers.
Learn how apps that “know nothing” are the future of privacy, and what makes Keet fundamentally different from traditional messaging platforms.
Multiplayer Snake! Building Zero-Infrastructure P2P Apps
Speaker: David Mark Clements, Platform Principal Architect
Watch as David live-codes a simple P2P game using the Pear Runtime. In just 25 minutes, he’ll demonstrate how fast, local-first apps can be built and shared peer-to-peer, without any backend or cloud setup.
If you’ve ever wanted to see how Pear apps come together, this one’s for you.
This isn’t just about building apps, it’s about building resilience.
In a world increasingly shaped by shutdowns, blackouts, and surveillance disguised as safety, peer-to-peer technology offers a way out. Keet isn’t just a messaging app, it’s a working example of what the internet can be when it belongs to people. And Pears isn’t just a tech stack, it’s the foundation for a new generation of zero-infrastructure tools built for freedom, not control.
Together, they represent more than software. They’re part of a movement for unstoppable communication, digital autonomy, and technology that serves people, not power.
The future doesn’t ask permission. With peer-to-peer, we’re building it ourselves.
