Encrypted on your device
Messages and calls are locked before they leave your device and unlocked only on theirs. The server carries them without being able to read them.
Your conversations, readable only by the people in them
Enc Chat is a free messenger with end to end encrypted chats, voice calls and video calls. No phone number, no email address, and nothing the server can read.
Everything a messenger should do, without the phone number
Voice and video calls
Call one person, or up to six in a group call, and switch a voice call to video without hanging up.
No phone number
An account is a username and a password. No phone number, no email, no contact list upload.
Disappearing messages
Set a timer on a chat, or send a photo that can only be opened once.
On your computer too
Link up to four Windows or Linux computers or browsers to your phone by scanning a code.
Photos, files and voice notes
Send them encrypted, and back up your whole history to a file only you can open.
Up and running in a couple of minutes
- Install it on your phone. Download Enc Chat for Android and open it.
- Pick a username. Choose a username and a password, and write down the recovery code it gives you.
- Start talking. Share your username with friends. Want it on your laptop? Link a computer by scanning a code.
Built so there is nothing to hand over
The keys that unlock your messages are made on your phone, and they leave it only for a computer you link, encrypted so that only that computer can open them. The server keeps a message only until it is delivered, in a form it cannot read, and it never learns a phone number or email address because it never asks.
Enc Chat is one developer's project, not a company product, and it has not had an outside security audit yet. Read more about how it works and who built it.

Common questions
Is Enc Chat free?
Yes. Enc Chat is free on every platform, with no ads and nothing to buy.
Do I need a phone number or an email address?
No. An account is a username and a password. When you sign up you get a recovery code, shown once, which is the only way back in if you forget the password.
Is Enc Chat end to end encrypted?
Yes. Messages, photos, files, voice notes, and voice and video calls are encrypted on your device and unlocked only on the devices of the people you send them to. The server carries them without being able to read them, and keeps a message only until it is delivered.
Does Enc Chat work on iPhone?
Yes, in Safari. There is no App Store version: open encchat.xyz/app in Safari, tap Share, then Add to Home Screen. From the Home Screen it opens like an app and can show notifications.
Which devices can I use it on?
Android phones and tablets, Windows and Linux computers, and any modern browser, including Safari on iPhone and iPad. The Android and computer versions are downloaded from encchat.xyz, not from an app store.
Can I use Enc Chat on my computer?
Yes. Install it on Windows or Linux, or open it in a browser, and link it to your phone by scanning a code. Up to four computers or browsers can be linked to one account.
How many people can join a call or a group?
A group call holds up to six people, and a group chat up to 256 members. A voice call can switch to video without hanging up.
How is Enc Chat different from WhatsApp or Signal?
Signing up needs no phone number or email address, so the service never learns either. It is distributed from its own website rather than an app store, and it is one developer's project rather than a company's.
Has Enc Chat been security audited?
Not yet. Enc Chat has not had an outside security audit, so treat it as a careful build by one author rather than an audited product.
Ready to try it?
Free, and it takes about a minute to set up.
