Social networking with no registration, no authentication and no saving of messages. Anonymous too. ttmsg is based on publish-subscribe protocol, MQTT. It works by sending messages to a topic.

Agreement of topic and password is done using other means of communication such as talking on the phone or face-to-face. Secondary use case to communicate with devices over MQTT. Sample use case: - You and your friend decide topic and optionally a password. - You then agree the time when you are online. - When the time is right, you both subscribe to agreed topic. - You communicate by publishing messages to topic and respond by publishing message to the same topic. Features, including Premium: - No registration. - No authentication. - No saving of messages. - No knowing who sends or receives messages. - No notifications.

Set your availability status and let your friends know exactly when you're free to talk โ€” no more awkward "is now a good time?" texts. How it works: - Sign up with your phone number - Connect with friends on the platform - When you have free time โ€” driving, waiting, on a break โ€” toggle your availability on - Your friends get notified instantly and can call you with a single tap - Set a timer so your status resets automatically, or stay available indefinitely Stay connected, on your terms Add a short status message like "driving home" or "on lunch break" so friends know the context. Choose to be available now or set a specific end time โ€” 15 minutes, an hour, or whatever works for you. Find your people Browse all users, sync your phone contacts to discover who's already on the app, or invite friends via SMS. Send and accept friend requests to build your network.
