Someone on Genco has to invite you.

There is no public signup. If someone you know is already on Genco, ask them for an invite.

NOT OUT YET

Genco launches September 2026.

Android first. There is nothing to download until then. If you’d like to be invited when it opens, ask to go on the list.

The list isn’t an account. When Genco opens you’ll get an invite code, the same as everyone else.

I have a code Four steps, about five minutes. Start below. I don’t have one You can ask for one. Read the bottom of this page first.

WITH A CODE

01.

Download the app.

Genco is currently distributed directly rather than through the Play Store. Android will show a warning when you install an APK from outside the store. That’s expected. Android only for now. An iPhone version is in development.

genco.chat
genco-1.0.apk 24.6 MB · Android 8 and up

Served from genco.chat when Genco opens in September 2026.

02.

Enter your six characters.

The app asks for your invite code the first time you open it. It works exactly once and expires two days after it is created. If it expires, the person who invited you can make another.

Works once · Expires in two days

03.

Write down your twelve words.

Setting up your account gives you twelve ordinary words. They appear once. Write them on paper — don’t keep the only copy as a screenshot or in a note on the phone you’re setting up.

YOUR TWELVE WORDS

  1. 01 harbor
  2. 02 olive
  3. 03 lantern
  4. 04 meadow
  5. 05 copper
  6. 06 violin
  7. 07 anchor
  8. 08 saffron
  9. 09 timber
  10. 10 marble
  11. 11 orchard
  12. 12 velvet

Shown once, on paper, never again.

04.

Say hello.

The person who invited you is already in your chats. Everyone else comes through an introduction or a message request that you can accept or decline.

Meera online
You’re in! Took me two minutes.

These words are your account.

Genco doesn’t keep another copy of them. That’s what gives you control over your account. It also means you need to keep them safe.

Keep them on paper.

Somewhere you would keep something important. Two copies in two places is sensible.

Lose them and the account is gone.

There is no recovery button. The server doesn’t have a copy, and neither does the person who built Genco. If you lose them, you’ll need a new invite and a fresh account.

If somebody else sees them, act quickly.

Anyone who has your twelve words has your account. Email [email protected] if you think someone else has them.

WITHOUT A CODE

Don’t know anyone here yet?

Genco is still small, so sometimes the first person you know here is me. Tell me how you found Genco and I’ll get back to you.
