Need your private photos and messages to disappear? We’ve got you covered with our self-destruct timer. Sent something you regret? Retract your message without a trace at any time. Need to blur your screen from prying eyes? Our new stealth mode allows you to blur your screen for maximum privacy. Have you lost your phone and therefore all your messages? Login to the app on a new device and restore your conversations. Messaging apps are so easy to use we don’t often think twice about texting personal information to those we trust; however, the products we use to connect to each other were not built to handle this information securely. Existing messaging apps lack our zero-knowledge security architecture and necessary security protocols. KeeperChat enables you to chat with peace of mind knowing you are in control of the content you share, and who you share it with. Easily invite your friends, family, and colleagues to experience the future of secure messaging. Take control with KeeperChat.
