About Chitchatter

Chitchatter is a free, open-source chat application that works peer-to-peer over WebRTC. There are no accounts and no central servers storing conversations: users join rooms directly from the browser, messages are end-to-end encrypted, and chats are ephemeral, disappearing when participants leave. Because nothing is retained, it is suited to quick, private conversations among friends, communities and teams who want the convenience of a link-based chat room without sign-ups, tracking or a permanent message history.
