Private by design
One-to-one conversations include practical safeguards — from account access to everyday privacy tools. Chatkode is designed for quieter random private chat from the first message.
Chatkode security
Private random chat. No phone number. Match, Skip, claim.
Random private chat is free in your browser: temporary account, Match/Skip, private 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.
Private 1:1
Private 1:1 messaging is 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.
Private messaging
Messages stay private — including random Match chats.
Chatkode is designed with practical privacy safeguards. Private 1:1 chat is the default — not an optional upgrade — because quieter messaging should be ordinary, not exceptional.
Security without noise
We focus on clear privacy practices and product choices that reduce unnecessary exposure — see also our Privacy Policy.
Identity
No phone number — start temp, claim when ready.
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.
Username, not SIM card
After you claim, your Chatkode username is how people reach you. Random Match uses Match/Skip instead of phone-book discovery or dating profiles.
Connection approval
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
Locks after you claim — for the device in your hand.
Privacy tools help 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.
App lock
PIN-lock the whole Chatkode session, with auto re-lock after idle. How app lock works.
Hidden chats & decoy PIN
Tuck threads behind a second PIN — optional decoy opens an empty inbox. Hidden chats.
Disappearing & view-once
Conversation timers and view-once media for a lighter footprint. Disappearing messages.
What we don't do
No contact scraping. No dating profiles.
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.
Phone number required
No — username
Contact syncing
Never scraped
Social feed
Does not exist
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.
