Frequently Asked Questions

No. Messages are encrypted on your device before they're ever sent — the server only ever sees scrambled ciphertext, never the actual text. This isn't just a policy promise; you can check it yourself. Once you're in a room, tap the 🔒 icon — both people should see the exact same code. Read it to each other out loud (call, text, in person — anywhere but the chat itself). If it matches, your connection wasn't intercepted. That check is the whole point: it's how you verify the "we can't read it" claim instead of just trusting it.

Everything about that room — the code, the messages, all of it — is deleted from the server's memory instantly. There's no history, no export, no way to get it back. That's not a bug or a limitation; it's the entire point of the app.

No. Just a display name for the current chat, which isn't saved anywhere either. Open the site, create or join a room, done.

No — it's just a website. It works in any modern mobile or desktop browser. Nothing to install, nothing to update.

Only if they have your specific room code or link, and only if they get there before your partner does — rooms are capped at two people. Treat the code like you would a house key: share it only with the person you want in the room.

Encryption protects your conversation from outsiders — the server, network eavesdroppers, anyone who isn't the person you're talking to. It can't stop the person you invited into the room from taking a screenshot, same as any messaging app. Only chat with people you trust with what you're actually saying.

We don't collect names, emails, phone numbers, or accounts — there's nothing tying a conversation to your identity on our end. Standard web infrastructure still briefly sees your IP address in order to deliver the connection (the same is true of every website you visit), but it's used only for basic abuse prevention and isn't stored anywhere long-term. See our Privacy Policy for the full detail.

Anyone — it's built for exactly two people at a time. Couples, long-distance partners, first dates who aren't ready to hand over a phone number yet, or just two people who want a conversation that doesn't leave a permanent record anywhere.

Yes — you must be 18 or older to use this service. See our Terms of Use for why: there's no moderation and no way for anyone to intervene in an active conversation, which makes this the wrong tool for minors.

Yes, no cost, no premium tier, no ads.

Fair — most sites just say "we care about your privacy" and expect that to be enough. This one is built so the claim is checkable: the safety-number verification above lets you confirm the encryption is actually working, not just take our word for it. If you're technical, the full cryptographic design is documented in this project's SECURITY.md file, written the way a security-conscious reader would want it stated — including what it doesn't protect against, not just what it does.
