## What is Unspoken?

Everything is understood in the unspoken.

Unspoken is an end-to-end encrypted, anonymous chat app built for the people closest to you — partners, best friends, the ones who get you without words.

See every word as it's written.
Not just a "Typing…" indicator. You watch the message form, letter by letter, in real time. Conversations feel immediate, spontaneous, alive — like sitting across from each other.

Feel their heartbeat.
Pair with Apple Watch to share your live heart rate. Your partner feels every beat as a haptic pulse on their phone — a lub-dub rhythm that closes the distance.

Stay connected, even offline.
Pin a room to make it permanent. Messages queue when your partner is offline and deliver the moment they reconnect. Your conversation never disappears.

Private by design.
Every message is encrypted end-to-end with a unique key exchange. No accounts. No phone numbers. No logs. The server never sees your content. Screenshots are blocked at the system level.

Share more than words.
Send photos, search and send memes, quote and reply to specific messages.

Pricing & Open Source

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 0.4.0 — 2026-08-26

- Check the connection before you chat: the new Speed Test on the start screen sends a few test messages and a test photo, then tells you in plain words how this connection will feel.
- Push-to-talk is simpler now: hold the mic button to record, release to send. Every recording arrives as a voice message you can play back whenever you like.
- Live walkie-talkie has been removed. It never sounded good enough over a real mobile connection to be worth keeping.
- If your partner goes offline while you are still holding the button in a pinned room, your recording is no longer lost. It waits for them and arrives when they come back.
- Voice messages are slimmer, sitting in line with your text bubbles instead of towering over them.

### 0.3.25 — 2026-08-11

Voice, and a gentler goodbye.

  - Hold the mic button to talk. Your partner hears you live, walkie-talkie style, encrypted end to end like everything else.
  - If they're offline in a pinned room, the same button leaves a voice message instead — delivered the moment they come back.
  - Play voice messages right in the conversation, and quote them like any other message.
  - Rooms that end now stay readable. When your partner unpins or the host leaves, the conversation waits on screen until you close it, instead of vanishing on you.
  - Unpinning now asks how: leave your partner 7 days to read the last messages, or erase everything on both devices right away.
  - If messages are still arriving when a room ends, the app waits for them before letting go.

### 0.3.24 — 2026-07-08

- Pick multiple photos from your library at once, numbered in the order you select them
  - Review your selection and confirm before sending — photos are sent one by one in your chosen order
  - Missed messages now arrive smoothly one at a time when you return to a pinned room

### 0.3.23 — 2026-06-29
