Three private surfaces. Same zero-knowledge architecture.
Meeting someone online, selling an item, or talking to a stranger for the first time often ends with "add me on WhatsApp" or "what's your LINE?". Each of these gives away far more than a conversation needs.
What each app reveals
- WhatsApp, Signal, Telegram (by default) and LINE rely on a phone number or an account that stays linked to you.
- Instagram and Snapchat show your face, your friends and often your daily life.
- Messenger is linked to your Facebook identity.
What you actually need
For a first conversation you need three things: a private place to talk, a way to share a photo or a file, and the power to end it cleanly. You do not need a permanent identity.
Accountless encrypted chat
DRIVUNO Secret Chat creates a room for 2 to 4 people from a single link. Nobody signs up. Each seat is bound to one browser, messages are encrypted on the device, and the decryption key stays in the part of the link after #, which browsers do not send to servers. When you are done, burn the room.
When to switch to a regular messenger
Once you have met, checked who the person is and feel comfortable, moving to your usual app is natural. A secret chat is the waiting room before trust, not a replacement for your friends' group chat.
