Private chats, encrypted end to end on your devices. No phone number, no email.
Let them scan this with their phone camera — nothing travels through any app.

Tap a contact on the left to reconnect — a fresh key is made each time. Or start a new chat.
Preferences for this device
What your friends see next to your messages. Your username stays the same.
Gizleme locks itself after a pause, so someone picking up your device sees nothing. Unlock with Face ID / fingerprint, or your password.
Messages auto-delete from this device after the chosen time. The relay only ever holds ciphertext it cannot read, kept up to 14 days so offline devices can collect it, then deleted.
“Compatibility” (the default in the installed app) avoids the black band at the bottom of the screen. After a change, close the app completely and open it again.
Get alerted when a contact reconnects to reach you — even when Gizleme is closed.
Your contact has been invited.
Add the other people now: send them the group link (WhatsApp, SMS, e-mail…). Anyone with the link can join, so share it only with the people you want in.
Keys learned from signed messages.
This invite is protected by a 4-digit code.
Pick your earlier chat with the same person. Its messages will show here.
Only on your devices — nothing is sent, and the other person's app is not changed.
Point the camera at your friend's invite code.
There is no reset — by design
Gizleme never asks for an email address or a phone number, so there is nothing we could send a reset link to. Your password is also the key to your encrypted contact backup: without it, that backup cannot be opened by anyone — including us.
If you're on a device where you're still logged in, go to Settings → Password → Change while you can. Otherwise, the only way forward is a new account: your friends can send you their invite links again.
Your other devices will need to log in again
This cannot be undone
Your username is released, your encrypted contact backup and all sessions are deleted from the server, and everything on this device is erased. Messages still waiting in the encrypted mailbox expire on their own within 14 days. Your contacts keep their own copies of past messages.
Confirm no one is in the middle
In-person check (once): both of you open this screen. If the safety code and emoji match on both devices, no one was in the middle when you first connected. If they differ, stop.
Add it to your device
Open Gizleme straight from your home screen, full-screen, and get notified of new messages even when your browser is closed.
Everyone in the chat can vote.
Each person can say whether they're coming.

No number. No app. No trace.
Gizleme is for the conversations you don't want tied to your phone number or left on your phone. Here's where it stands next to the two apps you probably already use.

Where they're ahead today: an independent audit, and your friends are already there. Where Gizleme is different by design: nothing about you is required, and nothing has to stay on your device. Like any service, the relay sees connection times and encrypted traffic — never your messages, never your contact list (stored encrypted), and your username is never attached to a conversation.
