Krypta Chat is a private messenger with end-to-end encryption. No phone number, no email, no trackers, no ads. If you like, Krypta opens as a fully working calculator, and only your secret code opens your chats. NO PHONE NUMBER, NO EMAIL You don't need an account with your name. Krypta creates an anonymous ID; you add contacts by QR code or ID. Strangers can only send you a request that you have to accept. A CALCULATOR WITH A SECRET (OPTIONAL) During setup you can disguise Krypta as a calculator that really calculates. Your own secret code followed by "=" opens your chats. A separate erase code deletes everything instantly if you ever need it. DELIVERED WITHOUT A TRACE Every message is end-to-end encrypted: only you and the person you write to can read it, not the server and not us. Messages are deleted from the server as soon as your contact has received them. Disappearing messages, delete after reading, view once and password-protected messages let you decide how long something exists.
