what makes it feel different

Not a clone. A cleaner private drop lane.

View timers

Timed messages start burning after a recipient opens the thread, not just because the sender hit send.

02

Save rules

Each chat can allow keeps or keep everything temporary. The control lives where users expect it.

03

Hush shield

Blurred media, focus veil, watermarking, copy blocking, print blocking, and safety event logging.

04

Big media friendly

JPG, PNG, GIF, WEBP, HEIC, HEIF, MP4, WEBM, MOV, and AVI support with protected streaming.

05

Moderation built in

Reports, message removal, bans, verification, and account review tools ship from day one.

06

Search-ready public shell

SEO metadata, social cards, schema markup, sitemap, robots, PWA manifest, and fast no-CDN assets.

privacy reality

Deterrents, not fairy dust.

Browser apps can discourage screenshots, blur content when focus changes, protect uploads behind login, and block casual copying. No website can guarantee device-level screenshot prevention against every phone, operating system, recording tool, or outside camera.
