Good to see you online.
Remember when
chat was just
chat?
A familiar name, a conversation that runs late, a link you had to share.
Seeing a friend come online. Saying “one more minute” and still talking an hour later. Just you, your people, and whatever came up.
No phone number. No email sign-up.
AlexWorth it though.Delivered 21:07
You said that an hour ago.
A familiar feeling. A little more control.
A little less noise.
A little more connection.
Say what’s on your mind. Send something worth sharing. Settle into a conversation.
01 / Your conversation, your settings
Not every message
needs to stick around.
Keep your history. Save messages and file attachments on your device so you can return to them after closing and reopening UU Chat.
Choose what disappears. Set a lifetime or a burn-on-read timer for messages and file attachments.
Timer changes apply to future messages. Existing messages keep their original settings.

02 / More than words
The photo.
The plan. The whole file.
Share files in the conversation and find sent and received items in UU Gallery. Choose whether supported files stay inside UU Chat or can be saved and shared outside it.
Control incoming attachments globally or for individual contacts. A shared file doesn’t have to mean giving up your preferences.

03 / “You have to see this”
Watch the video.
Keep the conversation.
Play supported social links inside the chat. As the conversation moves, a floating player keeps the video in view.
Choose which external media can load, with settings for individual contacts. Floating playback for standard video attachments is also planned for the final beta.

A proper introduction
Meet UU Chat.
Take a look around before you try it. See how the experience comes together.
The advanced-features video is in preparation.
Getting to know each other
A connection.
Not an account.
Your contact identity is created on your device. There’s no UU Labs account directory to search or phone number to hand over.
Exchange a token
Share your public Token ID with someone you want to talk to.
Verify each other
Complete the mutual PIN check. Exchange the PINs in person or over a different trusted channel from the one used for the invitation.
Start talking
Messages and files travel between devices through Tor. There’s no UU Labs server mailbox; delivery depends on the devices being reachable.
Help shape what comes next
Come say hello.
The Android beta starts with an invitation.
