VANISH PRIVATE CHAT GUIDE

Temporary private chat, ready in seconds

Open a short-lived room without creating another account or inbox.

What you can do

Create a room without signing up, choose a five-minute, one-hour, one-day, or seven-day deadline, and send one private invite. Participants can reply in the same room. Message bodies and optional images are encrypted in each browser before upload.

What happens when the timer runs out

The server refuses new reads and writes after the deadline. A cleanup job removes expired live messages. That is a limit on future access, not a promise that every copy vanishes instantly. A participant can save content, and provider logs or backups may follow longer schedules.

When another tool is a better fit

Choose a service with verified identities if you must know exactly who is speaking. Choose a durable workplace or records system if you need search, compliance, recovery, or an audit trail. Do not use a temporary room for emergencies or information that must be retained.

Before you create the room

Pick the shortest practical lifetime. Decide how you will reach the recipient privately. If a leaked link would matter, enable the optional PIN and send it through a separate channel. A short PIN adds friction, but it cannot repair a compromised device or untrusted recipient.

Questions and answers

Can a participant save messages?

Yes. Participants control their devices and can copy or capture displayed content.

Can I extend a room?

No. Create a new room with a fresh invitation.
