MeetMeant

Read full description

MEETMEANT IS A ONE-ON-ONE CHAT APP designed for moments before you exchange real contact info. Create a temporary hotline on the spot using a QR code, chat directly with end-to-end encryption, and let the session delete itself when it's no longer needed. --- PRIVACY-FIRST BY DESIGN - No account, no login, no personal info required - Fully anonymous chats—no phone number, no email - End-to-end encrypted messages (decrypted messages are never stored on servers) - Everything is deleted when the hotline ends—no trace left --- GENTLE INTERACTION CONTROL - Token-based message system to prevent spamming - Wait for the other person’s reply—promotes natural rhythm - Inactive chats automatically expire after a while --- FOR TEMPORARY, TRUST-BUILDING CONNECTIONS Use Meetmeant when you're not ready to share real contact info—but still want to talk. Whether at an event, during customer service, a home viewing, a short-term project, or while helping someone in an emergency—Meetmeant lets you connect safely and temporarily, then move on. --- IMPORTANT NOTES - Always exchange QR codes in person - Never share your QR online—it could lead to risks - For your privacy, Meetmeant only supports text messages (no images or files) --- A chat before trust. A space before sharing. Meetmeant.
