Chat that leaves nothing behind

How does this work?

Temp Chat is a quick chat between two people. There are no accounts, no message history, and nothing stored on our servers. When you close the tab, the conversation is over.

Three steps

1. Click "Start a chat" to get a short code.
2. Share the code with one person.
3. Talk directly between your browsers. Closing the tab ends it.

What we don't see

Your messages and images. They go straight from your browser to your friend's. We don't have a copy and never see them.

Who you are. There's no account, no email, no name.

Who you talked to or for how long. There's no record on our side, even after the chat ends.

What we do see

Your browser's IP address briefly, when you load the page. Our hosting provider (Cloudflare) logs this the same way any website would. We don't tie it to a name because we don't have one for you.

Peer-to-peer chats also mean both you and the other person see each other's IP address as part of connecting. We didn't invent that. It's how the internet works when two computers talk directly.

Hard to believe?

"We don't see your chats" sounds like something every app says. Here's how to confirm it yourself. Open your browser's developer tools, watch the Network tab while a chat is going. You'll see nothing flowing to our server while you type. You never signed in, so there's nothing connecting a conversation to "you" anyway.

Terms & disclaimer

Read this. Using Temp Chat means you agree to it.

By using Temp Chat to chat, you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, don't use it. You must be of legal age and able to enter a binding agreement.

Your messages and images, your responsibility

You are solely responsible for what you send, what you receive, and who you share a code or link with. You represent and warrant that everything you send is lawful, yours to send, and consented to by anyone depicted. Because we can't see anything that flows between two browsers, treat what you receive as unverified - verify the sender before you open or save it.

No illegal or harmful use

You agree not to use Temp Chat to send anything illegal, infringing, threatening, harassing, or otherwise harmful. Specifically forbidden: non-consensual intimate imagery, child sexual abuse material, content depicting real violence, malware, and content sent to harass or intimidate. We cannot inspect the content, but the prohibition applies and breach is grounds for legal consequence under the laws of your jurisdiction and ours.

Reporting abuse

If you receive content that violates these terms, save evidence on your own device (screenshot, screen recording) and report it to the appropriate authorities - we have no way to recover anything from a chat that has ended. For service-level concerns, contact abuse@temp-chat.pages.dev.

As is

The service is provided "as is" and "as available," with no warranties of any kind, including delivery, availability, or fitness for any purpose. Connections can fail - peer-to-peer relies on each side's network reaching the other, and some networks (corporate firewalls, symmetric NAT) will block this.

No liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Temp Chat and its creator have no responsibility or liability for any messages sent or received, or for any damages arising from use of, or inability to use, the service.

You cover us

You agree to indemnify and hold Temp Chat and its creator harmless from any claims, losses, or expenses arising from your messages or your use of the service.

Changes

We may update these terms at any time; continued use means you accept the changes.
