Chat that stays in its shell.

A private home for your family’s messages, photos and calls, or your team’s. Everything is locked on your phone before it leaves, so even we can’t read it.

Private by design

Every chat is end-to-end encrypted. Here is exactly where the line is. Why we built it

Locked on your phone

  • Every message you write
  • Photos, videos and files
  • Voice and video calls

What our servers know

  • Your username, name and email
  • Who is in which chat, and when
  • Internet addresses, kept about 30 days

No ads, no selling your data, no reading your chats. See the privacy policy.

One calm place for the whole day.

Talk freely, in one place.

Messages, photos, voice notes and files, plus voice and video calls, all locked the same way. No more hopping between three apps to reach the people you love.

Questions

Can Cocoshell read my messages?

No. Messages, photos and calls are encrypted on your device, and only the people in the chat hold the keys. Our servers store data they can’t open.

Do I need to be technical?

Not at all. You pick a plan, we build everything, and your welcome email has your sign-in and the app to install.

What happens if I lose my phone?

Sign in on your new phone and enter your recovery key to unlock your history. Your family or team owner can sign out the lost phone right away.

Can my kids use it?

Yes. Family plans let a parent add children and reset their passwords, and a second parent can be a co-owner.
