How ShooChat Works

1

Create a room

Tap "Create Private Room" to generate a unique 6-character code. Share it with anyone you want to chat with.

2

Connect directly

Your browsers connect directly to each other using WebRTC. No middleman. No messages pass through any server.

3

Chat with confidence

Every message is encrypted with AES-256-GCM before it leaves your device. Verify your connection with the safety emoji fingerprint.

4

Close and forget

When you close the tab, everything disappears. Messages live only in memory — not in a database, not in local storage, not anywhere.

Built for Privacy

ShooChat was designed from the ground up so that nobody — not even us — can read your messages.

🔐

End-to-End Encryption

ECDH key exchange generates a unique shared secret per session. Messages are encrypted with AES-256-GCM — the same standard used by governments and banks.

🌐

Peer-to-Peer via WebRTC

Messages travel directly between browsers. The only server interaction is a brief handshake to find each other — after that, it's just you and your peer.

💨

Ephemeral by Design

No databases. No cookies. No local storage. Messages exist only in your browser's RAM. Close the tab and the data is physically gone from the device.

🛡️

Safety Verification

After connecting, both users see the same emoji fingerprint derived from the shared secret. Compare them to verify nobody is intercepting your chat.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to create an account?

No. ShooChat has no accounts, no sign-ups, and no user data collection. Just open the site and start chatting.

Can you read my messages?

No. Messages are encrypted in your browser before being sent. We never see, store, or process the content of your conversations.

What happens when I close the tab?

Everything is gone. Messages exist only in your browser's memory (RAM). Closing the tab or refreshing the page erases all data permanently.

How is this different from WhatsApp or Signal?

ShooChat stores nothing — no message history, no contact list, no phone number. It's designed for truly ephemeral conversations with zero persistence.

Is it free?

Yes, completely free. ShooChat runs peer-to-peer with no backend infrastructure costs, so there's nothing to charge for.

Do both people need to be online?

Yes. Since messages aren't stored anywhere, both participants must be connected at the same time. This is a feature, not a bug — it means there's no server holding your messages.

Ready to chat privately?

No downloads. No sign-ups. Just tap and talk.
