About

TempChat

Features
Read full description

This is TempChat. TempChat is a simple and end-to-end encrypted chat client. Add your friends and talk privately. All messages will be removed completely from the server after 10 days. So don't leave anything important in here, that you might need later. To be extra secure, you can host your own server, and be in full control of your own data. Be aware that your privatekey lives on your device, meaning your chat history will only be available on the device where you created your account. This also means, you can't login to your account on a different device, and see old messages. This is on purpose, to keep your chat as private as possible. We also tend to not store/cache anything on your device. This means you will have to fetch everything from the server, resulting in longer waiting than you're used to from other messaging apps. This is also on purpose, to keep your chat as private as possible.

Say is an app where you talk with your voice. Some things just don't fit into text. Hesitation, laughter, a pause before the words โ€” your voice carries all of it. How was your day? What's on your mind right now? Tell it in your own voice. Someone who wants to talk in your language will listen and reply. โ–ท Just press and talk Hold the record button while you speak, and release to send. No need to pick the perfect words. 30 seconds at a time. A short voice message feels closer than a long text. โ–ท Your voice reaches people who speak your language The app recognizes the language you spoke and delivers your message to users who want to talk in that language. Choose up to 3 languages you'd like to hear. Speak in Korean and listen in English โ€” that works too. โ–ท Replies turn into conversations When you reply to a message, it goes only to that person. Everyone you've talked with is gathered in "Chatting," so you can pick up the conversation anytime. โ–ท Quick replies Messages go to people who are using the app right now, so you won't wait long for a reply. โ–ท Messages are kept for only 10 days Messages and recordings are automatically deleted 10 days after they're sent. We keep them only as long as needed, and no longer. โ–ท Talk safely You can report or block right from any message. Our team reviews reports and takes action, and users who are reported repeatedly are automatically restricted from sending messages. You'll no longer receive messages from people you block, and you can unblock them anytime from your block list. Say is only for users aged 18 and over. โ–ท No ads Nothing interrupts โ€” just focus on the conversation. โ€ป Please review our terms and policies.
