Vurro vs Hashti

Vurro is an independent, third-party app. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Substack, Inc. "Substack" is a trademark of Substack, Inc., used here only to describe compatibility. Vurro is a third-party Substack client that adds the chat tools Substack doesn't have. If you read Substack chats regularly, you already know what's missing: no way to search messages, no way to bookmark, no way to filter by user, no way to view quoted context inline. Vurro fixes all of that. WHAT VURRO ADDS • Search — find message text across threads and subthreads, with results highlighted • Bookmarks — save any message (thread, reply, or subthread reply) to a dedicated area; tap to jump back to its place in the chat • Watched Users — filter the chat to show only posts from the people you care about • Direct Links — copy a link to any thread or message and share exactly what you're talking about • Filter Chips — combinable filters: bookmarked + your replies + specific users — mix and match • Inline Quotes — see quoted messages inline; no jumping back through history for context • Accurate Read/Unread -Substack's own apps mark an entire thread read the moment you open it. Vurro tracks what you've actually seen on screen — so when a busy thread has more messages than you can get through in one sitting, close the app and come right back to the first one you haven't read. On by default; mark anything unread whenever you like. PRIVACY You sign in to Substack directly — Vurro never sees your password or 2FA code. Your bookmarks, watched-user lists, and app settings stay on your device. No ads, no analytics, no data selling. Full details at vurro.net/privacy. TERMS OF USE https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ A THIRD-PARTY CLIENT Vurro is not affiliated with Substack. It's built by an independent developer because the official chat experience needed help. The browser extension (Chrome and Firefox) is the original Vurro — the mobile app brings the same tools to your phone. Free to use. Built by @ma314 on Substack.

(App Store and Play, 2,385 of 4,000 characters) Hashti is chatrooms the way they used to be, with a messenger built in. Open a room about anything and leave it running. People walk in, talk and leave, with no algorithm deciding who hears you. When a conversation should stay between you, take it to a private chat. ROOMS THAT STAY OPEN Public rooms anyone can join, or private ones behind a link, an invite or a password. Turn on voice when you want to talk, stage mode when one person should have the floor, slow mode when it moves too fast. Pick a template (support group, study hall, open mic, watch party, Q&A) and it sets itself up. THINGS TO DO TOGETHER Trivia, two truths and a lie, word chain, categories, would you rather and polls. A shared listening queue everyone hears in sync, a whiteboard, a soundboard, breakout rooms, and speed networking that pairs everybody one to one. PRIVATE CHATS AND GROUPS Message friends one to one or in groups. Send photos, videos, voice notes and round video notes, share a location or a contact, run a poll or plan an event. Reply, react, edit, pin, star and search. Disappearing messages, view-once photos and videos, and scheduled messages when you need them. CALLS AND WALKIE-TALKIE Voice and video calls with one friend or a group of up to 16, and call links for the people you invite. Or hold the walkie-talkie button in a chat and whoever has Hashti open hears you right away. STATUS, CHANNELS AND COMMUNITIES Share a status for a day with the people you choose. Follow channels for updates, and bring groups together in a community. PRIVACY YOU CONTROL Choose who can message you, who sees when you were last online, and who can add you to groups. Lock the app, or only the chats you want kept out of sight. Secret chats between friends are end-to-end encrypted. A CORNER THAT'S YOURS A profile you actually style, a wall, a guestbook people sign. Friends, follows, and a radar showing which rooms they are in right now. SAFETY IS NOT AN AFTERTHOUGHT Report anything: a message, a room, a person. A person reviews every report within 24 hours, and reports about a child's safety go to the front of the queue. Blocking is instant. Slurs and threats are stopped before they are sent, and accounts that keep breaking the rules are removed. Verifying your ID is optional; it unlocks messaging strangers, hosting rooms and speaking on voice. Hashti is for adults 18 and over. Nobody under 18 can join. HASHTI PLUS Live translation, writing help and catch-ups are part of Hashti Plus: $4.99 a month or $39.99 a year. Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase, and the subscription renews at the same price unless you turn it off at least 24 hours before the period ends.
