## What is Phantom Chat?

Phantom Chat is private messaging for people who value their privacy.

No phone number. No email. No name. Your account is created right on your device the moment you open the app — nothing to sign up for.

END-TO-END ENCRYPTED
Every message is protected with the Signal Protocol (Double Ratchet) plus post-quantum ML-KEM-768 encryption. Your conversations are encrypted on your device and can only be read by you and the person you're talking to — we can't read them.

FREE 1-ON-1 MESSAGING
Connect with someone by sharing a one-time invite code or QR — no contact list, no directory. One-on-one messaging is free, forever.

BUILT FOR PRIVACY
• Disappearing messages — set messages to auto-delete on a timer
• Duress passcode — a separate PIN that opens a decoy
• Verify keys — confirm you're talking to the right person
• Block and report — stay in control of who can reach you
• Delete your account and data anytime from Settings

PERSONAL — unlock more (7-day free trial)
• Group chats
• Decoy / duress mode
• Custom app icons
• Panic shake to wipe
• Auto-destruct timer
• Advanced disappearing-message durations
$4.99/month or $39.99/year.

FOUNDER — lifetime access
A one-time purchase that unlocks every current feature, forever, and adds a Founder badge to your profile.

Encryption is never paywalled. Every user — free or paid — gets full end-to-end encryption.

No ads.
