What Is eChat?

eChat is a modern, privacy-focused messaging and communication platform that works on any device with a web browser. It’s built as a Progressive Web App (PWA), which means you can install it directly from your browser, no app store required, and it works seamlessly on phones, tablets, and desktops.

What can you do with eChat?

eChat combines everything you’d expect from a full-featured messenger:

Chat

Send text messages, images, videos, GIFs, and voice notes in direct messages or group conversations.

Call

Make crystal-clear audio and video calls one-on-one or with a group, powered by WebRTC for a direct, low-latency connection.

Groups

Create group chats with friends, family, or teammates. Assign admins, add or remove members, and keep everyone in the loop.

Channels

Broadcast messages to a large audience with channels. Great for communities, announcements, or public figures.
