Chatkode security
Random private chat is free in your browser: temporary account, Match/Skip, encrypted 1:1. No phone number. Block and report when needed. After you claim, app lock, hidden chats, and disappearing messages help when the device is the risk. Not a dating app.
End-to-end encryption
Messages are end-to-end encrypted by default — privacy controls are part of the product, not an upgrade.
Identity
No phone number — start a temp account for Match chat, claim when ready.
Discretion
App lock, hidden chats with decoy PIN, disappearing messages.
End-to-end encryption
Chatkode is designed so messages are end-to-end encrypted with practical privacy safeguards. Encrypted private chat is the default foundation — not an optional upgrade — because quieter messaging should be ordinary, not exceptional.
One-to-one conversations are built so messages are end-to-end encrypted with practical safeguards — from account access to everyday privacy controls. Chatkode is designed for quieter random private chat from the first message.
We focus on clear privacy practices and product choices that reduce unnecessary exposure — see also our Privacy Policy.
Identity
Many messengers require a phone number and then unlock contact discovery across your entire address book. Chatkode takes a different path: temporary Match accounts, then username identity after you claim — so your number stays out of chat discovery.
After you claim, your Chatkode username is how people reach you. Random Match uses Match/Skip instead of phone-book discovery or dating profiles.
Match/Skip and block tools keep random chat under your control. After you claim, username messaging stays intentional — see the walkthrough on how it works.
Discretion
End-to-end encryption helps keep conversations private in everyday use. These tools help when someone is looking over your shoulder, borrowing your phone, or when a detail should not linger in history.
PIN-lock the whole Chatkode session, with auto re-lock after idle. How app lock works.
Tuck threads behind a second PIN — optional decoy opens an empty inbox. Hidden chats.
Conversation timers and view-once media for a lighter footprint. Disappearing messages.
What we don't do
Chatkode is built as random private 1:1 Match chat — not a growth engine that mines address books or a dating app. We do not ask you to upload contacts to "find friends," and we do not wrap messaging in public profiles or group noise.

No — username

Reach
One-to-one, by consent
We don't require your phone number — start Match chat with a temp account, claim for a username. And we don't turn chat into a dating app or social network: no channels, no public discovery feeds, no algorithmic noise. One conversation at a time — see why we built it this way.
