About this app

PlainTextChat is a simple private messaging app for people who want quiet communication without the noise of social media.

PlainTextChat is built around plain text, small trusted circles, and intentional communication. It does not use feeds, likes, reactions, emojis, stickers, public profiles, ads, or social algorithms.

The app is designed for private one-to-one communication with people you personally choose to invite. Messages are simple text. Connections are made through invite codes or links, and users can remove or deactivate a connection.

PlainTextChat is for users who want a calmer way to stay in touch with close family, friends, or trusted contacts.

Features:

Plain-text messaging
Private invited connections
No public profiles
No social feed
No ads
No contact syncing
No photo, video, or media uploads
Simple light and dark display
Data deletion requests available through the privacy policy

PlainTextChat is intentionally minimal. The goal is simple communication without turning private messages into another social network
