Everhello

Everhello is video messaging for the people you actually talk to. Record a short video note and send it. They watch when they have a minute and reply the same way, so you both skip the scheduling and still get the face, the voice and the laugh. Everything is free. There is no paid tier and nothing to unlock. - Groups. Family, the crew, the team. Anyone in a group can add people; the person who started it keeps it tidy. - Transcripts, made on your iPhone. Everhello uses Apple's on-device speech recognition, so you can search what was said without your audio ever leaving your phone. Turn it off any time. - Video, voice, photos and notes, with reactions while you watch and a watch-later queue for the long ones. - Schedule a message for the morning. Mark one urgent when it matters. - Keep your own copy on this phone. An encrypted copy stays with you even after the cloud copy expires. - Messages stay as long as the conversation is alive. They only expire when everyone has been away for more than a year, and until then whoever sent one can delete it for everyone. - Report or block anyone, from any message. Privacy is the design, not a setting. You sign in with your phone number and it stays inside Google's sign-in service. Finding friends uses one-way hashes, never your contact list. There is no analytics software. One sponsored card appears in the chat list, never inside a conversation, a recording or a video, and where the law requires it you choose whether ads can be personalized. Everhello is supported by that one ad, which is how every feature stays free.
