Private communication without the complexity.

Create a room, share the password and start chatting. Chat256 is designed to make encrypted communication fast enough for everyday use and serious enough for professional conversations.

Encrypted before transmission

Messages are encrypted on your device using AES-256-GCM before they are sent to the relay.

Private rooms

Create a room and share its password only with the people you want to invite.

Instant live chat

Real-time messaging without accounts, profiles or unnecessary setup.

Disappearing messages

Choose an available message lifetime and let messages disappear automatically.

No account required

Start a private conversation without creating an account or social profile.

Use it anywhere

Connect from supported devices wherever you have an internet connection.

Serious encryption. Simple experience.

Chat256 uses client-side AES-256-GCM encryption. The message is encrypted before transmission and the relay is designed to transport encrypted data rather than hold the room encryption key.

AES-256-GCM

Modern authenticated encryption providing confidentiality and integrity for supported messages.

Client-side encryption

Encryption takes place in the browser before message data is transmitted.

Secure transport

HTTPS and WSS protect communications between supported clients and the Chat256 infrastructure.

Encrypted relay

The relay is designed to carry ciphertext without needing the room encryption key.

Password-protected rooms

Participants need the room password to derive the encryption key used by the client.

Privacy-focused

Chat256 is designed to minimise unnecessary access to communication content.

Say it. Send it. Let it disappear.

Use disappearing messages when you want conversations to have a shorter lifetime.

Frequently asked questions.

Is Chat256 encrypted?

Yes. Supported messages are encrypted client-side using AES-256-GCM before transmission.

Can the relay read my messages?

The relay is designed to transport ciphertext and does not receive the room encryption key.

Do I need an account?

No. Chat256 private rooms do not require an account.

Can messages disappear?

Yes. Supported rooms can use disappearing-message timers.

Can someone with the room password read messages?

Yes. Anyone who legitimately obtains the room password may be able to derive the room key. Keep the password private.

Is any encryption completely unbreakable?

No. Chat256 uses strong modern cryptography but does not claim that any security system is mathematically impossible to compromise.
