Talk direct. No server in the middle.

Messages go from your browser straight to your friend's. Your chat history stays on your device.

How a chat starts

  1. Via server

    Request

    You enter a friend's code. The server passes your request along.

  2. Via server

    Handshake

    Both browsers swap connection details through the server.

  3. Peer to peer

    Direct link

    An encrypted channel opens between you two. Messages never touch the server.

  4. You and your friend

    Verify

    Compare a safety number to confirm nobody is listening in.
