Common Support Topics

  • Connecting to an Aether server.
  • Registering an account on a server.
  • Sending messages and transferring files.
  • Using LAN, P2P, and relay connectivity.
  • Blocking a user from contact details.
  • Reporting abuse from contact details.
  • Removing local app data from the device.

Self-Hosted Server Responsibility

If your account is on a server not operated by pcfq.net, contact that server administrator for account recovery, server-side data deletion, moderation decisions, abuse handling, server backups, and data retention.

The Aether client can remove local data from your device, but it cannot control a third-party server's storage or policies.

pcfq.net Demo Service

The pcfq.net demo service is provided so users and App Review can test Aether without operating their own server. The default server address is eth.pcfq.net.

For account, abuse, or privacy requests related to the demo service, contact the relevant address above.

Privacy Choices

  • Choose a different Aether server or operate your own server.
  • Block unwanted users locally from contact details.
  • Report abusive users to the connected server administrator.
  • Delete local app data by deleting conversations or uninstalling Aether.
  • Request server-side data deletion from the server operator.

App Store Review Notes

Aether is not a public social network. It is a private communication client for user-selected or organization-operated servers. The app includes in-app block and report controls for user-generated messages and file transfers.
