Secure Messaging
RitChat — Private End-to-End Encrypted Chat
RitChat is a lightweight, browser-based messenger designed for short, confidential conversations. It removes friction by eliminating accounts, registrations, and persistent identifiers. Users simply open the page, enter a shared passphrase, and start chatting.
Key points
- End-to-end encryption performed in the browser
- No accounts, no registration
- No cookies or persistent identifiers
- Closing the browser tab immediately revokes access
- Group chats supported via shared passphrase
- Chats are ephemeral and automatically removed after inactivity
Use cases
- Sharing sensitive information quickly
- Temporary coordination between small teams
- One-time confidential exchanges
Security and privacy notes
RitChat is designed to minimize server-side trust. The server stores only encrypted payloads and does not have access to the passphrase or decrypted content. The frontend encryption logic is openly inspectable, allowing technically inclined users to verify how cryptography is applied.
