No Trace Chat – Private messaging with secret codes and disappearing messages

Summary: No Trace Chat enables private, end-to-end encrypted messaging without accounts or phone numbers. Users share a secret code or QR to access chats, which vanish after being read. It offers optional privacy settings, screenshot blocking, and no push notifications to minimize digital traces.

What it does

No Trace Chat allows users to create encrypted chats accessed only via a secret code or QR, with messages disappearing after being seen. The app stores only ciphertext and never holds the secret code, ensuring no permanent logs.

Who it's for

It is designed for friends, family, and teams needing sensitive conversations without leaving a paper trail.

Why it matters

It solves the problem of persistent chat logs and identity ties by eliminating accounts, phone numbers, and permanent message storage.
