PalliTalk: messaging built for the people you actually talk to PalliTalk is a private messenger for real friends. Sign up with an email, add a friend with a 6-character code, and start chatting. No phone number. No address-book scraping. No public profile. Chat that does more than text - Text, voice notes with waveform playback, photos, videos, GIFs, animated stickers - Snap β€” disappearing photos, one view, screenshot-protected - Mines β€” drop a hidden message on the map; your friend has to walk there to unlock it - Drops β€” pin a message, photo, or voice note to a place; recipient sees it on arrival - Gawibawibo β€” rock-paper-scissors duel right inside any chat - @mentions and a built-in @GPT assistant - Reactions, replies, edit, delete-for-me on any message - Custom backgrounds, themes, and per-chat color packs Day Vlog β€” your day, unfiltered One short photo or video per hour, straight from the camera. No filters. No camera-roll uploads. No retakes. Day Vlog is for what's happening right now β€” the coffee, the walk home, the small thing you'd never post on a feed. Voice rooms Drop into a walkie-talkie style voice room with one friend or a small group. Push to talk, leave the channel idle in the background, hear someone the moment they hop in. The map is part of the conversation - Real-time positions for friends you've added β€” never strangers - Chat directly from the map: bubbles float over locations - Footprints replay your last trip as an animated trail - Photo Map pins every shared photo at the place it was taken - Place alerts when a friend arrives somewhere Lock Screen presence Send a message, GIF, or animated reaction directly to your friend's Lock Screen via Live Activity. It stays visible until they tap it. Live Activity also covers incoming voice and active chats. Ambient awareness, not surveillance Motion-aware status quietly shows when you're walking, driving, or stationary β€” only to friends you've added. Online status never leaks beyond your circle. Private journal Face ID-locked daily journal: mood, free-form text, photos, calendar view, monthly grouping. Stored on your phone, never synced to a public profile. The one place that's just for you. Statistics on your own activity Messages exchanged, voice minutes, photos shared, places visited together, top hours, trip summaries with maps and distance, storage breakdown β€” all computed locally. Privacy you can feel Screenshot protection on Snap, Mines, Drops, disappearing messages, secret bubbles, and the journal. Per-chat disappearing-message timers. Per-friend visibility control: you decide who sees what. Weather data Weather information is provided by Apple Weather. Legal source: https://weatherkit.apple.com/legal-attribution.html
