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.
