Long-distance messaging that stays private

The distance is a clock problem. The privacy issue is still the phone in the room with other people.

In the app

A private chat, with the locks.

  • A username instead of your phone number.
  • App lock, a hidden list, and a decoy PIN.
  • A vault for files, away from the gallery.
  • Friend chats and groups are free.

Clock

Turn on quiet hours for the person who is asleep. Mute until morning when a late voice note should wait. The message is not lost. The lock screen stays dark.

Proof of the day

Send a photo from the camera. Save the ones you will want later into a shared album. Leave the rest on a timer so the thread does not become a second gallery.

Help

Questions, answered.

A few quick answers before your first chat. The app has its own screens after you claim an account.

Can we tell who is online?

Yes, unless last seen is hidden.

Do time zones change the token price?

No. A friend chat is free regardless of country. Country prices apply to random-chat filters and to packs.
