Everything you need.
Nothing you don't.

DMs, calls, group chat, file sharing, and a classic interface that doesn't require a tutorial.

🔒
End-to-End Encrypted DMs
Messages are encrypted on your device before they leave. We genuinely cannot read them — not "we pinky promise not to."
📹
Voice & Video Calls
Call anyone in one tap. Works in your browser, the desktop app, or on Android. HD quality, no install required on either end.
🏠
Group Spaces
Text channels, voice rooms, invite links. Good for friend groups, communities, teams — whatever you need.
📖
Stories
Post photos or short clips that disappear after 24 hours. Your people see them, then they're gone.
🔑
Key Backup & Recovery
Set a Recovery PIN and your encrypted keys are backed up. Switch to a new device and your whole history comes back. We never see the PIN.
📱
Quick Device Login
Already signed in on your phone? Scan the QR code on your laptop and you're in. No password needed.
🔔
Push Notifications
Get notified when someone messages you — even when the app is closed. Works on Android and web.
🛡️
Two-Factor Auth
Enable 2FA in one tap. Works with any TOTP app — Google Authenticator, Authy, whatever you already use.
📂
Files & Voice Messages
Send files, photos, or hold to record a quick voice message. Up to 25 MB per file.
🖥️
Screen Share
Share your screen mid-call. Works on web, desktop, and Android. Nothing to install.
🍪
Sessions You Can Trust
Login tokens live in HttpOnly cookies, not localStorage. Scripts injected by attackers can't grab your session. Most apps skip this.

We can't read
your messages.
That's the point.

Phaze encrypts your DMs on your device. Even if someone breached our server, your messages are unreadable. Not a marketing claim — it's just how the math works.

No migration.
Just show up.

There's no export/import step because there's nothing to wait on — an account takes about 30 seconds, and getting your people over is just sending them a link.

  1. 1Pick a username and password. No phone number, no email required.
  2. 2Add the friends you already have — search their username or share your invite link.
  3. 3Start talking. DMs, calls, and group Spaces all work the moment you're both signed in.
