Usage

This section covers typical user workflows in Enclave Messenger.

Starting Enclave

TUI

python tui.py

You will be prompted to:

1. Select or create a profile.
   

2. Enter your passkey.

3. Access the main menu (home, peers, chats, settings).
   

Web UI

python web.py

Then open the printed URL in a browser, e.g.:

http://localhost:8000

The web UI provides:

• Setup wizard for new profiles

• Home screen with chats and peers

  NOTE: I advise you to use the TUI because the Web UI is still a bit buggy...

• Settings for profile management

Creating a profile

1. Launch Enclave (TUI or web).
2. Choose Create new profile.
3. Enter:
4. Profile name
5. Passkey (twice, for confirmation)
6. Any required network settings (e.g., web port for web UI)
7. Confirm. Enclave creates the profile and associated keys.

Sending a message

1. Ensure at least two profiles are running (on the same or different devices).
2. In each instance, navigate to Peers and confirm discovery.
3. Open a chat with the desired peer.
4. Type a message and send.

Messages are encrypted end-to-end before transmission.

Managing profiles

• Rename a profile from Settings -> Profile.
• Create additional profiles for different identities or test scenarios.
• Delete a profile by removing its directory.
