Some things are meant to be said, not stored. discreed isn't your next main messenger. Keep the apps you already use for everything that's allowed to stay. discreed is for the other kind of talk ā the one meant to exist only while it's happening. You see every word the moment it's typed ā letter by letter, in real time. No send button, no history, no reading back. Then it's gone, because it never sat anywhere to begin with. And when a word isn't enough, share an image: seen once, then gone. Other apps delete messages after they've existed. discreed never lets them exist in the first place. Nothing to store, nothing to find, nothing to recover. How it feels: You type. The other person is right there ā live, in the same breath. Then one of you closes the room, and it's empty again. What discreed doesn't do: ā No history ā No messages stored on servers ā No account needed, no phone number ā No ads End-to-end encrypted. The keys stay on your device. Not even we can read along. You decide who's in: if you want, every guest needs your OK to join ā and you can remove anyone at any time. Made for the conversations that deserve real privacy ā about health, about money, about whatever's simply no one else's business. Getting started takes seconds: create a room, share the code, done. No account needed. Works on iPhone, iPad and in the browser. discreed. What's said doesn't stay. Terms: https://discreed.net/terms Privacy: https://discreed.net/privacy
