De-centralized privacy tools and more — free for personal use
Create a link, send it to one person, and talk. Messages are encrypted in the two browsers taking part. This site passes them along and holds no key. Nothing to install, nothing to sign up for.
The key is created in this browser and placed after the # in the link, the part browsers do not send to any server.
Wait for the other person to join. Once both sides are connected, the invitation link stops working and fresh keys are created.
Optional: once both sides are in, the browser shows a permanent address for this conversation. Bookmark it to come back to the same chat later. One click discards the chat.
Your device and theirs are already capable of encrypting what they send each other. No company needs to be in the middle to make the connection, keep a history, or know who is talking. This site only relays encrypted data between the two.
A secret key is created in your browser and placed in the invitation link, after the #.
By email, text or any chat. It works once. When both sides are connected, new keys and a new address replace it.
Messages are encrypted before they leave each browser and decrypted only on arrival. Bookmark the permanent address to continue later, or discard the chat in one click.
The invitation link has two parts. The first tells the server which chat to open. The second, after the #, is the key. Browsers do not send that part to any server, so it stays in the two browsers taking part.
Most messaging apps need a phone number and an account, keep a record of who talks to whom and when, and may hold copies of messages in backups. A chat opened from a link needs none of that, and leaves none of it behind.
Each one does a single job properly, in the same plain language, with no account anywhere.
Send a file from the browser, encrypted before it is uploaded, or use the Windows application for larger files and whole folders.
