Company Description

Chative is a security & privacy focused chat app.

Chative is fully encrypted end-to-end. All your messages, whether it’s a 1:1 chat or a group chat, are fully encrypted in-transit or at rest.

Chative does NOT store your messages, not on the server side, and not on the client side. You can choose to store messages for 1, 7 or 30 days. After which, the messages are gone. There are no permanent storage options.

Chative does not store metadata. Metadata often reveals more than the contents of the messages themselves. Chative prefer not to know that. Once a message is delivered, no other info about the message is kept.
