Ephemeral
Conversations that disappear. Privacy that stays.
Chat without worry. Your conversations vanish automatically—no records, no archives, no regrets. Choose timed deletion or exit-based disappearance. Perfect for sensitive discussions, confidential talks, and truly private exchanges.
Timed Deletion
Set a countdown. When time expires, the room and all messages are permanently deleted.
Exit-Based
Messages persist while someone is online. Last person out triggers deletion.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I recover deleted messages?
No. Once messages are deleted, they are permanently removed from our servers with no possibility of recovery. This is by design to ensure maximum privacy.
How long do messages last?
It depends on the mode you choose. With timer mode, messages last until the countdown expires. With exit-based mode, messages persist while at least one person remains in the room.
Is there a message limit?
Free accounts have a limit of 100 messages per room. Pro and Teams plans offer unlimited messages. Check our pricing page for more details.
Can I use Ephemeral for business?
Absolutely! Our Teams plan is designed for businesses with advanced features like admin controls, audit logs, and priority support. We're GDPR compliant and SOC 2 certified.
Do I need an account?
No account is required to create or join a chat room. However, creating an account unlocks additional features like room history, custom timers, and file sharing.
What happens if my internet connection drops?
In timer mode, the countdown continues regardless. In exit-based mode, you'll be marked as offline after 30 seconds, but messages will persist as long as others remain connected.
