ShooChat is a free, browser-based encrypted chat app that disappears the moment you close the tab. No sign-up, no phone number, no app install — just open the site, share a code, and start talking privately.
Messages are end-to-end encrypted with AES-256-GCM directly in your browser and sent peer-to-peer over WebRTC. Nothing ever touches a server. Close the tab and everything is gone — no database, no local storage, no cookies, no trace.

Encrypted 1-on-1 and group chat
Video & audio calls (peer-to-peer, no call servers)
Screen sharing during calls
