Awala-compatible apps use the Internet when it's available, and switch to couriers who transport data securely when the Internet is unavailable.

No one — not couriers, not governments, and certainly not us — can see or change your data.
Free and open source
As a free and open source tool, Awala is transparent and trustworthy, allowing users and developers to verify its security and contribute to its continuous improvement.
Independently audited
The security of Awala has been independently assessed by world-class cybersecurity teams. Learn more about our security audits.
How Awala works
- Awala-compatible apps, like Letro, use the Internet like any other app whilst you're connected.
- When offline, couriers can securely carry your app data to and from the Internet without needing access to your device.
- Awala can automatically self-recover when couriers fail to deliver your data in either direction.

Contribute to the projectA word from our founder
73% of the global population faces severe Internet censorship, and Internet freedom has been on a 14-year decline as of 2024. Reversing this trend requires a multi-pronged approach involving technology, legal challenges, and advocacy efforts.
My goal is for Awala to play a central role on the technology front as the first tool to help circumvent the full censorship spectrum, from app- and website-level blocking to complete Internet blackouts. Ultimately, regions vulnerable to government blackouts are also prone to app and website blocking whenever the Internet is available.
