We can't read your chat. That's the point.
Chat together. Then poof. A private group chat in one tap. No app, no account, no phone number. Locked in your browser, gone when the room ends.
- We can't read your messages
- Up to 10 people, free
- Stored in the EU
Make a room
Pick how long it lasts. Add a password if you like. It takes one tap.
Share the link
Send it in WhatsApp, Signal or by QR code. Everyone with the link can join.
Chat, then poof
The countdown starts when the first person joins. When it ends, everything is deleted.
Built so nobody can snoop. Not even us.
The key to the room lives in the part of the link after the #. Your browser never sends that part to us, so we only ever store scrambled text we cannot read.

Good questions
All questions →Can you read my chat?
No. Messages are encrypted in your browser with a key that only lives in your link. Our server stores scrambled text it cannot read.
What if I lose the link?
Then the room is gone for you. We do not have the key, so we cannot recover it. Ask someone in the group to send it again.
How long does a room last?
You choose 1, 24 or 36 hours, counted from when the first person joins.
Is it really free?
Yes, for rooms up to 10 people. No ads inside rooms.
Secure chat links for your clients
Your logo, longer rooms, transcript export and seats for your team. For recruiters, lawyers and support desks.
