Huddlebox

Huddlebox — Chat that keeps up with you Huddlebox is a fast, secure messaging app built for real conversations—one-on-one or in groups. Stay connected with real-time delivery, replies and mentions, voice and video calls, and a clean interface that gets out of your way. Why Huddlebox? Encrypted Messaging — Your messages are protected with AES-256 encryption, keeping your conversations private and secure. Voice & Video Calls — Jump on a crystal-clear voice or face-to-face video call one-on-one without ever leaving the chat. With Picture in Picture, your video call keeps playing in a floating window while you switch apps, look something up, or reply to a message—tap it to go back to full screen. Flip cameras, mute your mic, toggle your camera, and switch audio output right from the call. Forward Messages — Share a message, photo, file, or voice note with one person or several chats at once. Search to forward to anyone, even people you haven't chatted with yet. Messages forwarded from others are clearly labeled, so you always know where they came from. Select Multiple Messages — Press and hold a message to select it, then tap more to add them. Forward, copy, or delete several messages together, or reply to and edit a single one, right from the top of the chat. Disappearing Messages — Set messages to automatically vanish after a chosen time, so your conversations don't stick around longer than you want them to. Local Authentication — Add an extra layer of privacy with device-level authentication using your PIN or biometric lock before anyone can open Huddlebox. Real-Time, Always — Messages, typing indicators, and online status update instantly with real-time sockets—no refreshing, no delays. Direct Messages & Groups — Chat one-on-one or create groups for your team, friends, or family, with admin controls for managing members. Your Chats, Your Way — Set a profile picture, personalize your groups with a group photo, and pick up exactly where you left off. Drafts are automatically saved per conversation, so half-written messages are always there when you return. A Message Bar That Feels Right — A sleek glass message bar, with Liquid Glass on iOS 26. Reply & @Mention — Reply directly to any message to keep conversations organized, and mention teammates with @username to grab their attention instantly. Read Receipts & Typing Indicators — See when your messages are delivered, read, and when someone's typing a reply. Share Anything — Send photos from your gallery, documents from your files, or capture a fresh photo with your camera. Paste an image you've copied from any app straight into a chat. Attach multiple files at once, add captions to photos, and track the progress of every transfer. Cancel or retry transfers whenever you need to. Share Voice Messages — Record and send voice notes directly from your conversations. Keep What Matters — Downloaded media is stored in a dedicated HuddleBox folder on your device, organized into Images, Documents, and Voice. Your downloaded files stay available offline and with you.
