Turn by turn
One person gets the canvas, everyone else gets the keyboard. Guesses go straight into the chat, and once the word is found the turn passes on.
iPhone, Mac and Android

Capabilities
What the app does
01
Sign in with Apple or Google
CoreOne tap and you are in. No password to lose — and no phone number to hand over: we never ask for one and never store one.
02
A chat list that stays in order
Pinned chats on top, unread counts, delivery ticks, last-seen. Search across names, usernames and the last message.
03
Nothing arrives twice, nothing goes missing
Every change in a chat carries its own number, so a device that was offline catches up from exactly where it stopped, in the right order — as long as it comes back within thirty days.
04
Delivery states you can trust
Sent, delivered, read — tracked per participant, so a tick means what it says instead of guessing from timestamps.
05
Notifications that stay quiet
Twelve messages in four seconds arrive as one notification, not twelve. No marketing pushes, ever.
06
Photos, files and voice notes
Attachments upload straight to object storage over a signed link, already encrypted, and leave it once every device they are meant for has downloaded them.
07
47 languages
The interface follows your system language, and all forty-seven are translated — not a fallback to English with the odd blank.
08
Block, report, appeal
Leave a group or block a person at any time, and write to us about abuse. Every conversation is encrypted, so we act on what you choose to show us — the Terms set out the procedure and the appeal.
Interface
Familiar where it should be, quiet everywhere else

Draw and guess
A game that needs no common language
New in the app
One player draws, everyone else types their guesses. Then the turn moves on. Play in a room of your own, with the people you invited, or in an open one where strangers gather.
Friends, or complete strangers
Gather a room out of the people you already write to, or walk into an open one. The same game either way — only the company changes.
Letter by letter
When a word refuses to come, letters start to open. Enough to nudge the room along, not enough to hand it the answer.
One week at a time
The table counts a week, not a lifetime, so nobody who joins later has to catch up with somebody else’s thousands. A place in it is all it gives.
No language barrier
Everyone sees the word in their own language
The word is chosen by AI and shown to each player in the language they use the app in. A drawing needs no translation, so a room works even when the people in it share no language at all: you type your guess in yours, the person beside you types theirs, and both count.
Letter hints follow the same rule — they open the letters of your word, not of somebody else’s.
Full access
Every tool, every colour, every brush
100 stars a month
A hundred stars a month open the whole set: every drawing tool, every colour, every brush width, and the reactions.
Free from the very first round: one tool and one colour. That is enough to play — what people guess is the drawing, not the palette.
Bought in the app or bought here, the balance is one and the same.
What the hundred opens
- All the drawing tools
- The whole palette
- Every brush width
- All the reactions
Encryption
Straight talk about encryption
Most messengers imply more protection than they ship. Here is exactly where oChat stands today, in the same words the Privacy Policy uses.
Read the Privacy Policy
YES
Encrypted in transit
Every connection between the app and our servers runs over TLS. Nothing travels in the clear.
YES
Every conversation is encrypted end to end
One to one or in a group, messages and attachments reach our servers already encrypted by your device. We cannot open them, and we keep them only until they are delivered — thirty days at most.
MIND THIS
Your history lives on your devices
We do not keep your messages and make no backups of them. History reaches a new device only from another device of yours, by a transfer you confirm with a code. Your recovery code restores your key, not your history: lose every device that holds it and the history is gone — we cannot recover it for you, because we neither keep it nor can read it.
NOT ENCRYPTED
Support is not
Messages to our support team are not encrypted, and the app says so in that conversation: someone has to read a question to answer it. Channels and public groups, the other kind that was not encrypted, no longer exist.
YES
No ads, no trackers, no resale
No advertising SDKs in the app, and your data is never sold or shared for marketing. The app does send crash reports and which screens get used, and that is not optional: the settings switch for it was removed. Those services get an account identifier, device data and event names — never what you write.
