Everything a group chat needs — and what others leave out

Turquoise is a group chat only: no private one-to-one messages, no public profiles. Just your community's groups, run by your moderators.

Privacy for members

Members appear as initials with a colour of their own in each group. Even two people with the same initials get different colours.

Push notifications only say “New message in [group]” — on phones, tablets and computers.

No “online” or “last seen” status, no per-person read receipts.

Previews of shared links are fetched by our server, so members' devices never contact unknown websites.

Stop one member from sending in one group. They can still read and react, and you can lift it any time.

Moderators can remove any message; members can delete their own within one hour.

Nobody joins without an invitation from a moderator. Invitations expire after 72 hours.

Share the work with co-moderators. Only the owner appoints them.

Invitations, removals, read-only changes and deletions are recorded with date and author.

Pause a member's access to your community instantly; enable it again later.

Swipe a message (or use the menu) to reply with a quote.

React with any emoji; a full emoji picker is built in.

Find groups and messages instantly from the chat list.

See at a glance where something new happened.

Long messages are folded with “Read more” to keep the conversation readable.

See when someone is writing — as initials, of course.

People can belong to several communities with one account — each community stays completely separate.

Phone, tablet or computer, in any modern browser. Install it on the home screen for an app-like experience.

Your community's data is stored on servers in Switzerland.
