SecureChat
Connecting…

Meet someone new.
No account, no history.

Get paired with a random person for a text or video chat. Text is encrypted between your two browsers, and everything disappears when the chat ends.

You must be 18 or older. Camera access is only requested for video chat.

Match preferences and private rooms

Up to 5. You are matched with people who share one first. If nobody does, you are matched with anyone after a few seconds.

Chat with a friend
  • Private by default. Messages are encrypted in your browser before they leave it.
  • Nothing to sign up for. You are never asked for a name, email or phone number.
  • Leave any time. Skip to the next person or report someone in one tap.

Before you start

SecureChat pairs you with strangers. Nobody screens them first, so please read this.

Rules and privacy

Be decent

Treat people the way you want to be treated. No harassment, hate, sexual content involving minors, threats, spam or illegal activity. Use Report if someone crosses the line.

What the server sees

The server pairs people and relays messages and call setup. It keeps nothing after a chat ends and has no database. It sees your IP address like any web server does, and it writes short operational log lines (such as connection IDs and report reasons).

What is encrypted

Text messages are encrypted in your browser with a key agreed directly with your partner, so the server only relays scrambled text. The key exchange goes through the server, so to be certain nobody is in the middle, compare the safety code in the lock menu with your partner. Video and audio are encrypted by WebRTC and flow directly between browsers.

What you reveal

In a video call your partner’s browser learns your IP address. Use a VPN if that matters to you. Anything you say or show can be recorded by the other person.

Safety code

Messages in this chat are encrypted between you and your partner. To confirm nobody is in the middle, read this code aloud or paste it in the chat, and check that your partner sees the same one.
