About DiffWeb
Most chat apps start by asking for your phone number, then share it with everyone you talk to. DiffWeb doesn't. Start a temporary chat room with no account at all, or create a free account with just a username and a password. No email, no number, no contacts upload.
Every message, photo, video, voice note and file is encrypted on your phone or computer before it leaves. Only the people in the chat hold the keys, so not even DiffWeb can read your conversations. You can check a chat's safety number to make sure no one is listening in.
Need to talk once and move on? Create a private chat room in one click, share the link, and set it to self-destruct after 15 minutes, an hour or a day. When it ends, the room and its messages are gone for everyone. Ideal for planning a surprise, a quick deal or sharing a document.
DiffWeb's anonymous chat lets you meet someone new without revealing who you are. Both people accept before the chat starts, links and numbers are blocked for the first two minutes to stop scams, and you can report or block anyone in one tap.
Private Circles give close friends, family or classmates their own feed. Share photos and updates, ask questions anonymously, vote in polls, plan meetups and seal time capsules that open years later. No public profiles, no followers, no algorithm.
DiffWeb is free to use and has no ads. We don't sell data or build profiles about you. It works in any browser on Android, iPhone and computer, and you can add it to your home screen like an app.
Good to know
No. Temporary rooms need nothing at all: open a link and chat. Saved rooms, anonymous chat and circles only ask for a username and a password. We never ask for a phone number or an email address.
No. Messages, photos, files and circle posts are encrypted on your device before they are sent, and only the people in the chat have the keys. Our servers only ever see scrambled data.
A temporary room needs no account and deletes itself after 15 minutes to 24 hours. A saved room belongs to your username and keeps the chat until you delete it, like a normal messaging app.
It is built to be safer than the usual stranger chat. Both people must accept before chatting, links and phone numbers are blocked in the first two minutes, and anyone can be reported or blocked in one tap.
A private feed for a small group, like close friends or family. Post photos and updates, ask anonymously, run polls, plan meetups and seal time capsules that open on a future date.
Yes. Every feature is free, with no ads, and we never sell your data.
Yes. It works in any modern browser on Android, iPhone and computer, and you can install it on your home screen like an app. Nothing needs to be downloaded to join a room.
Never your messages. To keep the service safe and meet legal requirements, we keep a short, encrypted security log of sign-ins and network addresses, and delete it automatically. The Privacy Policy lists everything we store.
