Private group chat Β· Hosted in Switzerland

Group chat where members stay anonymous.

Members see only initials β€” never names or phone numbers. Moderators keep the peace with precision: silence one person in one group chat, without throwing anyone out. And notifications never give away what was written.

Three things other group chats don't do

Built for group chats where people don't necessarily want to share their identity β€” and where calm matters.

Anonymous by design

Every member appears as initials in their own colour. No names, no phone numbers, no profile photos, no β€œlast seen”. Only the community's moderators know who is who.

Silence one person, not the group chat

Someone keeps spamming? Make just that member read-only in just that group chat. They keep reading and reacting β€” everyone else chats on as normal.

Notifications that say nothing

The lock screen only shows β€œNew message in [group chat]”. Never the sender, never the text β€” so nobody reads along over your shoulder.
