Chats and groups
One-to-one chats and groups of up to 100, with replies, reactions, editing, deleting and pinned messages.
Invite only · Coming soon to everyone
Private messaging for the people you invite.
Our Chat is a messenger for family and friends. Every message, call, photo, voice note and file is end-to-end encrypted, so only the people in the chat can read it. Not us, not the server. No adverts, no tracking, kept in the EU.

Right now Our Chat is invite only: you need a code from someone already on it. We're opening it to everyone soon.
What you get
Everything you'd expect from a messenger
The things you use every day, built to be simple for everyone in the family.
Voice and video calls
Call anyone one-to-one from your phone or laptop. Calls are end-to-end encrypted too.
Voice messages
Tap the microphone, talk, send. Play them right in the chat.
Photos, videos and files
Send photos, videos and documents up to 95 MB, with link previews for websites.
Announcements
A channel everyone is in, where only admins post: perfect for family news or a club.
Disappearing messages
Set a chat so messages vanish after an hour, a day, a week or four weeks.
Search, mute and more
Search all your chats, mute the busy ones, profile pictures, group photos and an app lock with your PIN or fingerprint.
Private by design
Only the people in the chat can read it
Your messages are locked on your device before they're sent and only unlocked on the devices of the people you're talking to.
End-to-end encrypted
Messages, photos, videos, voice notes, files and link previews. The server only ever stores scrambled data it cannot read.
Your recovery code
A code only you keep unlocks your messages on a new phone or laptop. Lose it and your old messages are gone for good, even for us. That's the point.
No adverts, no tracking
No contact lists taken from your phone, nothing sold, nothing shared. Everything is kept on servers in the European Union.
Check it's really them
Compare a safety number with someone in person and you'll know nobody is listening in between. You're warned if it ever changes.
Every screen
On your phone and your laptop
Start a chat on your phone and carry on at your desk. Your messages stay encrypted on both.
Android phones
The full app, with notifications, voice messages and app lock. It updates itself.
Laptops
Open ourchat.uk/web in Chrome, Edge, Safari or Firefox on Windows or Mac. Nothing to install, or add it as an app.
iPhone
Coming soon.
Getting started
Join with an invite code
Our Chat is invite only for now. Someone already on it can give you a code, which works once.
Get your code
Ask the person who invited you. It looks like ABCD-1234.
Install the app
Enter your code below and you'll get the download for your phone.
Save your recovery code
The app makes you a recovery code. Keep it safe: it unlocks your messages on any new device.
No code? Our Chat is opening to everyone soon. Until then, ask someone already on it.
