- Traditional email relies on centralized servers, creating potential points of surveillance, censorship, or failure.
- Yggdrasil Network provides a decentralized alternative with built-in encryption, enabling true P2P email.
- Tyr is an Android app that leverages Yggdrasil for P2P email, eliminating the need for centralized servers.
- Tyr features include local SMTP/IMAP server, automatic Ed25519 key generation, and Yggdrasil network integration.
- Tyr supports censorship circumvention by allowing connection to various Yggdrasil nodes or private networks.
- DeltaChat and ArcaneChat are recommended messengers that integrate seamlessly with Tyr for P2P messaging.
- Tyr's security measures include Android Keystore encryption, Yggdrasil network encryption, and local-only access for SMTP/IMAP.
- Development setup requires Android Studio, JDK 17, Android SDK, and Go 1.21+ for rebuilding the Yggmail library.
- Tyr is open-source under the Mozilla Public License v. 2.0.
